that are not listed on the “List of compatible Endoscopes/Connecting Tubes <OER-Elite>”.
If using endoscopes that are not listed on the “List of compatible Endoscopes/Connecting Tubes

cause reprocessor damage or malfunction.
Maintenance and Inspection
• The OER-Elite requires routine maintenance and inspection. In addition to checks before use,
the person in charge of maintenance and administration of the medical equipment at the
