Before starting any of the following processes, be sure to check that the concentration of the
disinfectant solution is no less than the Minimum Recommended Concentration (MRC). If the
concentration is below the recommended minimum concentration or the shelf life of the disinfectant
solution has expired, replace the disinfectant solution. The result of MRC can be recorded with the
reprocessor.

• The use life of the disinfectant solution may vary depending on many factors,
including storage conditions, and the temperature of the environment where the
reprocessor is installed. Routinely check the concentration of the disinfectant
solution with the test strip before performing endoscope disinfection. If this check is
not performed, the disinfection process may be ineffective. Replace the disinfectant
solution when it fails to meet the minimum recommended concentration or beyond
the specified use life.
• Before handling the disinfectant solution, read the SDS and instructions for use of
the disinfectant solution carefully, get fully accustomed to the contents, and use the
disinfectant solution as instructed. Be sure to fully understand what to do if the
disinfectant solution comes in contact with your skin and eyes.
• When handling the disinfectant solution, wear appropriate personal protective
equipment. Avoid direct physical contact and inhalation of vapors. If any
disinfectant solution gets in your eyes, immediately rinse with a large amount of
fresh water and then consult a medical specialist. Personal protective equipment
includes eyewear, face mask, moisture-resistant clothing, and chemical-resistant
gloves that fit properly and are long enough so that your skin and eyes is not
exposed. All personal protective equipment should be inspected before use and
replaced periodically. If personal protective gear is damaged or defective in
anyway, do not handle hazardous chemicals and refer to the facility policies.
