7.8 Rinsing and drying after disinfection
• Carefully dry the electrical contacts of the video connector
after performing the procedure described in this section.
Otherwise, equipment damage can result.
• Disinfectant solutions may contain various aggressive
compounds (e.g. chlorine) which damage the instrument by
corrosion. To remove all residuals, rinse the instrument
thoroughly with de-ionized water (Aq. Dest.). Do not use tap
water for rinsing because it might be chlorinated.
• Regarding the rinsing water quality, refer to Section 6.5,
“Rinsing water” on page 40.
After disinfection, rinse the endoscope according to the procedures described
below.

equipment.
• On an assumption that the instruments will be used for a

for rinsing must be sterile.
• Do not reuse rinsing water.
• Sterile, small container
• Personal protective equipment
• Sterile, lint-free cloths
• Sterile, large basin
• Sterile water (for sterile water rinse)
