Before Use
To ensure that this reprocessor operates safely and reliably, inspect and clean all parts before first use
of the day. Also, check all consumables and replace or replenish as necessary.
WARNING
• When using the disinfectant solution and alcohol, Olympus recommends the use of
gas filters and running this reprocessor in well-ventilated areas.
 Wear a face mask, gloves, and protective clothes to minimize aspiration and
skin contact.
 Wear goggles for eye protection.
Refer to the following association’s guidelines related to ventilation:
If the person operating the reprocessor exhibits an allergic reaction or symptoms,
no matter how slight, they should discontinue the task they are performing and
vacate the room.
• Be sure to perform all inspections and replenish consumables as described in this
chapter. Otherwise, the reprocessor may not work properly.
• If any irregularity is found during the inspections, do not use the reprocessor and
contact Olympus. Using the reprocessor when an irregularity has been detected
may impair operation of the reprocessor and could cause leakage, an electric
shock, burns, and/or a fire and create an infection control risk.
