SERVICING & MAINTENANCE
• The servicing and maintenance program for the AS300 is provided in detail in this user manual in
chapter Maintenance.
• User maintenance must be performed by an individual who has been trained by an approved
Soluscope trainer.
• Preventive and corrective maintenance must be carried out by either a Soluscope technician or by the
distributor-technician.
If servicing and maintenance are not performed, or are performed incorrectly, the operation of the cabinet,
and in particular the safety of the patient and the user, may be compromised.

Operator level: A half-day training on using the aseptic storage unit for flexible endoscopes will be
provided at the time of installation on the hospital site by the technician trained by
Soluscope.
Head nurse level: A half-day training on calibrating and using the aseptic storage unit for flexible

CONNECTORS & CONSUMABLES
The AS300 must be operated with its exclusively dedicated consumables.
Contact your authorised distributor to obtain the list of spare parts and consumables.
Connectors must never be modified. Any modification to, or replacement of the connectors may
compromise the asepsis of the stored endoscopes.
Connectors and tubes must receive at a minimum a high-level disinfection at least once a week:
• in a Soluscope AER using the SET-AS300(00003852) adaptor,
• according to the manual procedure of endoscope reprocessing.
The tubes can also be sterilized. In this case the fittings must be removed and reprocessed according
to the endoscope manufacturer’s recommendations.
Under the provisions of directive 2012/19/UE the AS300 must not be collected by the normal
household waste collection services. For European countries, please contact Soluscope or your
authorised distributor to be in accordance with the regulation on electrical and electronical
equipment waste.
