11.1 Reprocessing endoscopes and accessories
using an AER
Follow the workflow described in Section 8.2, “Workflow for reprocessing
endoscopes and accessories” when reprocessing endoscopes and accessories
with an AER.
Be sure to attach all required connectors to the endoscope and accessories. For
details concerning appropriate connectors, refer to the instructions of the AER
manufacturer.
Manually clean and disinfect any endoscopes and accessories that are not
compatible with the AER.
After reprocessing the endoscope using an AER, dry the
electrical contacts of the endoscope connector not by
air-drying but by wiping with sterile lint-free cloths. Otherwise,
hard water residue may be deposited on the electrical
contacts, which may cause an abnormal endoscopic image
when the endoscope is used.
