Table 6.1 List of compatible methods
*1 The endoscope is only compatible with ultrasonic cleaning as performed in an
Olympus-recommended reprocessor, such as OER-AW (OER-AW may not be available in some
areas). When using an AER/WD that is recommended by Olympus other than listed above,
contact Olympus.
*2 The water-resistant caps (MH-553) and the chain for the water-resistant cap (MAJ-1739) can
only be reprocessed if attached to an endoscope.
*3 OER-AW is not available in the member states of the EU.
*4 ACECIDE disinfectant solution, which is peracetic acid, is exclusively for an
Olympus-recommended endoscope reprocessor, such as OER-AW (ACECIDE may not be
available in some areas).
*5 The cycles that are not listed in Table 6.1 through 6.5 can not be used for reprocessing.
