Chapter 7 Cleaning, Disinfection and Sterilization Procedures for Endoscopic Instruments
VISERA RHINO-LARYNGO VIDEOSCOPE ENF-V2
7.6 Manual cleaning
Endoscopic instrumentation must be meticulously cleaned
prior to disinfection or sterilization. Thorough cleaning
removes both micro-organisms and organic material. Failure
to remove organic material decreases effectiveness of the
disinfection or sterilization procedure. If the endoscope is not
immediately precleaned, residual organic debris will dry on
the instrument and effective reprocessing will be difficult.
• To prevent a water leak, do not apply excessive force when
cleaning the endoscope.
• Regarding the detergent solution, refer to Section 6.2,
“Detergent solution” on page 38.
After completing the leakage test, perform manual cleaning according to the
procedures described below.
In case of excessive bleeding and/or delayed reprocessing, perform “Presoak for
excessive bleeding and/or delayed reprocessing” on page 62 and follow the
procedure described below.
Reusable parts which are normally reprocessed with the
