Bedside Pre-cleaning (at point of use)
Initials/Date
Water Quality Recommendation: Utility Water 1.
Prior to pre-cleaning, turn off the Light Source and detach the Flexible Endoscope from the Fiber Optic Light cable. Detach the Fiber Optic Light Cable from the Light Source. Wipe the entire exterior of the Flexible Endoscope with a soft, lint-free, cloth, mOistened with water, or a diluted mild/neutral pH enzymatic cleaning solution (e.g. Enzol). This step is to remove gross debriS from the exterior of the Flexible Endoscope. Note: Refer to Fiber Optic Light cable instruction manual for reprocessing instructions for the Fiber OptiC Light cable.
2. Ensure that one of the stopcocks of the instrument port is closed during this process. Immerse the distal tip of the Flexible Endoscope in a basin of water. Suction (using a syringe) the channel with a minimum of 50 mL (1.7 oz) of water, or a diluted mild/neutral pH enzymatic cleaning solution (e.g. Enzol) through the open stopcock.
3. Repeat this step with the OPPOSite stopcock closed.
4. Inspect the vent port and the area removing any visible debris on the external surface with a 70% isopropyl alcohol wipe.
5. carefully place the Flexible Endoscope into a covered tray or container and transport the scope to the decontamination area. Ensure the Flexible Endoscope is kept protected during transport. Note: Complete cleaning of the patient-used Flexible Endoscope should be started within two hours of the bedside pre-cleaning. If transit time is greater than 2 hours, ensure that additional manual cleaning (see Manual Cleaning Section) is performed if visible reSidual debriS is still present.

Water Recommendation: Utility Water
1. If present, remove the Pressure Compensation Cap (PIN: Z10455) from the Flexible Endoscope.
2. Inspect the vent port. Confirm that the area is clean. If debris is present carefully remove the debris with a 70% isopropyl alcohol wipe.
3. Ensure that both the FleXible Endoscope vent port and KARL STORZ leakage Tester (PIN: 13242Xl) are completely dry before conducting the leak test. 4.
Attach the KARl STORZ leakage Tester (PIN: 13242Xl) or automated leak tester using the adaptor at the end of the tubing to the Flexible Endoscope's vent port using a clockwise push and turn motion until it stops.
5.
Pump up the KARL STORZ leakage Tester (PIN: 13242XL) until a pressure of 200 mmHg is reached. Fully articulate the distal tip 5 times in each direction using the control lever, then reduce the pressure by pressing the pressure release button until the pressure reaches 160 mmHg.
Note: If using an automated leak tester, set the leak tester pressure to 160 mmHg and turn it on.
WARNING: If 160 mmHg pressure decreases on the KARL STORZ leakage Tester (PIN: 13242Xl), do not continue with reprocessing. Refer to Endoscope Return Instructions for return instructions.
WARNING: Do not perform a wet leak test in water containing detergent as bubble observation is difficult to perform with detergent present. 6.
While pressurized, submerge the entire Flexible Endoscope into a basin or sink containing a minimum of 2.6 gallons (10 l) of room temperature water (no detergent). The leak tester should be outside the basin or sink and should not be immersed. Ensure the Flexible Endoscope is COMPlETELY submerged.
If surface bubbles are visible on the Flexible Endoscope after submerging, use a syringe filled with water to remove them. 7.
Ensure that one stopcock is closed. While submerged, draw at least lOmL of water using a syringe. Attach the filled syringe to the other stopcock and flush the water. Open both stopcocks.
