9.2 Preparing the equipment for reprocessing
If the endoscope is not immediately precleaned after each
procedure, residual organic debris will begin to solidify and it
may be difficult to effectively reprocess the endoscope.
Preclean the endoscope at the bedside in the procedure room immediately after
each procedure. These steps are to be performed when the suction pump is still
connected to the endoscope. During precleaning, wear appropriate personal
protective equipment.
