(e.g., gloves, gowns, face masks, etc.) to minimize the risk of cross
contamination.
• Endoscope components and accessories should be thoroughly and
carefully cleaned with detergent solution within one hour after the
conclusion of an endoscopic procedure. If they are left uncleaned for
greater than one hour after use, dried blood, mucus or other patient
debris may cause damage to them or interfere with the ability of the
user to properly reprocess them.
• For cleaning, use only legally marketed detergents which have been
tested and found to be compatible by PENTAX. A list of detergents that
are compatible with PENTAX components and accessories is contained in
