Section 1-3 “Endoscope components and accessories”)
5) While still immersed in detergent solution, wash the entire surface of the endoscope
and OF-B190 three times with a lint-free gauze.
6) Visually inspect the entire surface of the endoscope to insure that no soil is present,
paying special attention to areas such as the distal end, and control body, which are
the most likely regions to retain visible soil.
7) If any soil is still present on the endoscope, remove it by wiping the area in question
with lint-free gauze until it has been completely removed.
