NOMENCLATURE

IMPORTANT

Attach a syringe to the adapter.

Pull the plunger of the syringe to

fill the instrument/suction channels

and channel cleaning adapter

with disinfectant solution.

Fill basin with disinfectant. Attach a

suction cleaning adapter (MAJ-222) to

the previously cleaned bronchoscope.

Immerse completely in disinfectant

solution.

While immersed, detach the adapter

from the bronchoscope. Use a clean,

lint-free cloth to wipe away any bub-

bles clinging to external surfaces.

Soak all equipment according

to the time and temperature

recommended by the disinfectant

manufacturer. Use a timer to mea-

sure the exact contact time.

Connect the suction cleaning adapter

and syringe. Inject air to remove

disinfectant from the instrument/suction

channels, then remove the broncho-

scope from the disinfectant.

Disconnect the suction cleaning

adapter and immerse the broncho-

scope and adapter in sterile water.

Using a sterile, lint-free cloth, thor-

oughly rinse and wipe all surfaces.

Connect suction cleaning adapter

to bronchoscope and to a tube

from a suction pump. Aspirate

water through channels for 30

seconds. Remove from water and

aspirate air through channels for

60 seconds.

Turn the suction pump off. Hold the control

section with the openings pointing down and

disconnect the suction cleaning adapter.

Dry the bronchoscope and adapter with an

alcohol-moistened cloth. Make sure that the

equipment is completely dry prior to storage.

Hold all parts of the endoscope when carrying. Do

not let the ends of the bronchoscope swing freely.

Clean the bronchoscope

meticulously prior to disinfection.

• Wear appropriate personal protective

equipment during reprocessing.

• Autoclave all autoclavable accessories.
• Store the bronchoscope hanging vertically

with all valves and caps removed.

• Use a compatible disinfectant and test it

for proper concentration as recommended

by the manufacturer.

• Do not use the carrying case to store

"patient-ready" endoscopes. Any

bronchoscope placed in the carrying case

must be reprocessed prior to patient use.

Immerse the bronchoscope's distal

end in 70% alcohol and aspirate

alcohol for 5 seconds. Remove the

distal end from the alcohol and

aspirate air for 20 seconds.
