MEDIVATORS REPROCESSING SYSTEMS

Notes, Cautions, and Warnings General Cautions •

Use only a medical-grade detergent which has bacteriostatic properties, is low-foaming, freerinsing, and has a neutral pH.

•

Detergent and rinse water cleaning solutions can be drawn from either a clean container for a single-pass through Scope Buddy, or recirculated from the sink through Scope Budd. Scope Buddy can be used in either format depending on the facility’s endoscope cleaning procedure.

•

For the daily decontamination procedure, select a decontamination solution whose label indicates that it may be used at room temperature to achieve decontamination (see Section 6, Glossary, for definition) of medical instruments. Consult the manufacturer’s label for the appropriate directions for use and decontamination solution contact time.

•

Do not use alcohol-based products in or on the SCOPE BUDDY device. Alcohol is not compatible and should never be used to clean, flush, or rinse SCOPE BUDDY. Use of alcohol or alcohol-based products with SCOPE BUDDY will void the warranty. The tubing however can be reprocessed independently using 70% alcohol when not attached.

•

Do not use bleach solutions or hydrogen peroxide in or on Scope Buddy.

•

Do not exceed a detergent, water, decontamination solution temperature of 50°C in Scope Buddy.

•

Follow the endoscope manufacturer’s instructions and established professional guidelines for cleaning endoscopes.

•

The SCOPE BUDDY Endoscope Flushing Aid User Manual is intended to be used in conjunction with the instructions and labeling provided by the endoscope/accessory manufacturer. Endoscope/accessory manufacturers provide instructions and labeling necessary for users to understand the basic design, specifications, nomenclature, and components of specific flexible endoscopes/accessories.

•

Users should be properly trained and instructed to inspect, prepare, use, clean, disinfect, rinse, dry, and store endoscopes. Follow recommended standards as referred by ASTM, ASGE, SGNA, and APIC.

•

Read all precaution labels on the Scope Buddy device before using.

•

Never use Scope Buddy in a manner not specified by the manufacturer.

•

Ensure that fluid exiting the open end of the endoscope or tubing is not facing a direction that would allow fluid to be sprayed on personnel, electrical fixtures, or the user.

•

Scope Buddy, through its’ inherit use, becomes contaminated and requires cleaning and decontamination. Precautions must be taken to insure the device is properly decontaminated. Please refer to the Daily Decontamination Procedure for further information.

•

Duodenoscopes with elevator wire channels (EWC) may require additional cleaning and disinfection steps. It is particularly important for the elevator wire channel to be manually cleaned and fully reprocessed correctly. Extra attention should also be given to the position of the EWC throughout the cleaning process. Refer to the endoscope manufacturer’s instruction for the proper positioning of the elevator wire channel.

•

If the Scope Buddy is to be unused for an extended period of time such as overnight, or over the weekend, it should be left full of decontamination fluid or clean rinse water. This maintains pumphead decontamination, lubrication and facilitates priming. Scope Buddy should not be air-purged and store empty between uses. The tubing can be detached from the Scope Buddy unit during this period.

The DSD Hook-up or the All-channel Irrigator Hook-up cannot be used to flush the Forward Water Jet of a Fujinon endoscope. Never flush the Fujinon endoscope’s forward water jet simultaneously with other endoscope channels as the Fujinon endoscope’s forward water jet will not be properly flushed per the endoscope manufacturer’s standards and guidelines. The independent flushing of this channel using Scope Buddy’s EWC Hook-up ensures fluid is delivered directly to this channel. Go to the section labeled “Endoscope Flushing using the Elevator Wire Channel Hook-up – Fujinon Endoscopes” for further instructions.

Endoscope Flushing using a Medivators DSD Hook-Up Use this step-by-step procedure to properly attach the device to an endoscope using the Fluid Intake Tubing, the DSD Extension Line, and the appropriate Medivators DSD Hook-up. The Fluid Intake Tubing and the DSD Extension Line are provided with the device. The Medivators DSD Hook-up is provided by current users of a Medivators DSD Endoscope Reprocessor. Reference the Medivators Hook-up Application Guide, located at www.minntech.com/medivators to identify the correct DSD Hook-up for the endoscope being cleaned. Refer to the Directions for Use Instructions supplied with the hook-up to ensure correct connection. When properly connected, fluid will be drawn up from the sink or from a clean container of detergent or rinse water solution, flow through the Fluid Intake Tubing to SCOPE BUDDY, and then out of SCOPE BUDDY and through the DSD Extension Tubing and the DSD Hook-up to the endoscope. This provides fluid delivery for flushing the internal lumens of the endoscope. Note: If flushing the Forward Water Jet or the Elevator Wire Channel of a Fujinon endoscope, then the elevator wire channel hook-up must be used. The Medivators DSD Hook-up cannot be used. Go to the section labeled “Endoscope Flushing using the Elevator Wire Channel Hook-up – Fujinon Endoscopes” for further instructions.
