follow these guidelines may result in severe injury or death to the patient and/or operator. Read and understand
all operating and service procedures before attempting to operate the reprocessor. If the equipment is not used
as specied, the the ability of the equipment to high level disinfect an endoscope may be at risk. Contact your
Medivators representative if you have any questions regarding the safe and correct way to operate and service
this equipment.
Intended Use
Only properly trained individuals may operate or service the reprocessor. Never use the reprocessor for any
purpose other than the manufacturer’s specic indications for use. It is the responsibility of the facility to
maintain and ensure that adequate training is provided to operators. It is recommended that the facility conduct
regular training of all personnel concerned with the operation and maintenance of this equipment, including
emergency procedures for safe handling of an accidental chemical spill. Attendance records of the training should
be maintained and evidence of understanding demonstrated.
Operator Safety
Avoid biological contamination and chemical burns–always wear appropriate personal protective equipment
when handling endoscopes or disinfectant solutions. Never open the reprocessor lid during operation.
Moving the CER OPTIMA®Endoscope Reprocessing System
Before moving the CER OPTIMA Endoscope Reprocessing System, ensure the electrical cord, disinfectant
tubing, drain line and water supply line are either disconnected or are appropriate lengths to accommodate the
relocation of the machine. Failure to do so may result in damage to the machine. While moving the CER OPTIMA
Endoscope Reprocessing System, ensure the machine remains in an upright position. Moving or resting the
machine in any orientation other than an upright position may result in damage to the machine. Take precautions
to ensure the machine does not tip over which could result in damage to the machine or personal injury. The
machine may be placed upon a mobile cart or dolly. When loading or unloading the machine onto or off of a cart
or dolly, utilize appropriate lifting equipment or manpower to avoid damage to the machine or personal injury.
Note: To avoid injury or death from an electrical insulation breakdown within the
unit, the GFI (ground fault interrupter) circuit breaker should be checked for proper
operation on an annual basis.
Note: If during the use of this equipment you see or smell smoke, immediately
disconnect the unit from the power supply, discontinue use and call Medivators
Technical Support at 1-800-444-4729.

7
Note: Prior to undertaking any service or maintenance operation, or when
resetting the GFI ensure that the CER OPTIMA®system is disconnected from the
main power supply. If service or maintenance operations are to be conducted on
the water system, ensure that the CER OPTIMA system is isolated from the main
water supply.
Warning! The reprocessor must be protectively grounded.
Installation and Maintenance
For complete system installation instructions and details, refer to the:
• CER OPTIMA Pre-site Installation Instructions
• CER OPTIMA Water Filtration Installation Instructions
• CER OPTIMA Installation Instructions
Upon installation, position the equipment so the power on/off switch is readily accessible by the operator.
Ensure compliance with the installation documents before operating the system.
• The reprocessor must be properly grounded.
• The disinfectant immersion period (contact time) is xed in the CER OPTIMA’s software, specic to
the high level disinfectant that is displayed on the screen at the start of the cycle.
• All pressure regulators are factory-preset. Do not adjust the settings. Contact Medivators Technical
Support for assistance.
• Do not use alcohol or alcohol-based products to clean the reprocessor cabinet.
• The hook-ups are not autoclavable and must be reprocessed by low temperature disinfection only.
• Replacement parts must be ordered from the manufacturer to maintain the warranty.
• Regularly inspect reprocessor for basin damage, pipe and tubing damage, which may result in leaks.
• Ensure CER OPTIMA unit is level prior to operation. Place a bubble level on the front and side edges of
the basin. Level the unit using the four (4) adjustable feet on the bottom of the reprocessor. To adjust the
level of the reprocessor, rotate the foot clockwise to raise up, or counterclockwise to lower the corner.
When the basin is full of liquid, the level of the liquid should be even around the top of the basin.
Proper maintenance will ensure effective disinfection and prolong the life of the reprocessor.
Water Quality and Filtration
Potable water is the minimum standard. Incoming water must be pre-ltered to a minimum of 1 micron. Use a
cold water line with a pressure of 40 to 60 PSI that will supply a ow rate of 2.5 to 3 GPM (9.4 LPM to 11.4
LPM) to the water ltration system. The cold water supply should not exceed 104°F (40°C).
• The high performance 0.2-micron absolute water lter included with the reprocessor is a bacterial-
retentive lter. This lter removes all microorganisms and particles greater than 0.2-micron.

8
• The routine maintenance schedule recommends replacing the 0.2-micron water lter every 6 months
or sooner, depending on the pre-ltration system and the quality of the incoming water. Never use a
nominal 0.2 micron water lter.
• Incoming water supplied (upstream of the external pre-ltration system) should be shut-off at the end of
every work day. Ensure this water supply is turned on prior to operating the reprocessor.
• The pre-ltration system should be monitored for excessive pressure drop indicating blocked lter
membranes. If this occurs replace the water lter.
Chemicals
The CER OPTIMA®endoscope reprocessing system is designed for use with RAPICIDE®High-Level
Disinfectant, Glutaraldehyde disinfectant, or Ortho-phthaladehyde (also known as OPA) disinfectant. Refer to
the American National Standard recommended practice titled, Chemical Sterilants and High Level Disinfectants:
A guide to Selection and Use (AAMI TIR7:1999) and/or Safe Handling and Biological Decontamination of
Reusable Medical Devices in Health Care Facilities and in Nonclinical Settings (AAMI/ANSI ST35:2003).
These documents are available from the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation.
The CER OPTIMA also allows the use of detergents for endoscope washing, or 70% Ethyl Alcohol and Isopropyl
Alcohol for end-of-cycle endoscope drying.
For all chemicals used within the CER OPTIMA endoscope reprocessing system, refer to the respective chemical
labeling, directions-for-use (DFU) and/or material safety data sheet (MSDS) for chemistry constituents, as well
as for safety and handling guidelines. These documents should be displayed and stored near the CER OPTIMA
endoscope reprocessing system for easy access in the event of a chemical spill or emergency resulting in contact
with any chemical that is considered hazardous.
In case of an emergency in which eye or skin contact, or inhalation occurs, such as release of toxic or pathogenic
material, or leakage from a disinfectant container, or detergent (alkaline, acidic, non-enymatic or enzymatic)
container, always refer to the manufacturer’s labeling, directions for use and/or Materials Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS), for rst aid measures, accidental release measures and exposure controls/personal protection. Call the
emergency telephone number located on the MSDS if additional manufacturer’s information is needed.
Detergent Solution
If the user decides to incorporate a pre-wash in the reprocessing cycle, MEDIVATORS recommends the use of
a medical-grade detergent solution which is bacteriostatic, low foaming, free-rinsing and having a neutral pH.
Caution! Never use household detergent in the reprocessor.
Disinfectant Solution
The CER OPTIMA endoscope reprocessing system is designed for use with RAPICIDE High-Level Disinfectant
(HLD), Glutaraldehyde HLD, or Ortho-phthaladehyde (also known as OPA) HLD.
!

9
Medivators only recommends the use of the HLD that is legally marketed and FDA cleared as a high-level
disinfectant/sterilant for use on exible endoscopes and medical devices/instruments. Refer to the FDA website
to conrm the HLD is cleared for use.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the HLD used per the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions, including
the proper contact time, use temperature, and post rinses. Refer to the high level disinfectant manufacturer’s
directions for use for further instructions.
Monitoring Disinfectant Potency
High Level Disinfectant (HLD) testing must be performed before each reprocessing cycle. The minimum required
concentration (MRC) testing of the high level disinfectant (HLD), ensures the HLD is at an effective level of
potency, so that it can be used to disinfect an endoscope or medical device. Testing the potency prior to starting
a reprocessing cycle, conrms the disinfectant’s MRC potency, and that it can be used to achieve high level
disinfection of an endoscope or medical device.
Use only the disinfectant manufacturer’s recommended test strips to test the potency of the HLD. If the high level
disinfectant is below the minimum required concentration, then discard the used disinfectant and replace it with
new disinfectant, prior to initiating a reprocessing cycle. Refer to the test strip manufacturer’s instructions, for
further details and step-by-step use instructions.
Endoscope Precleaning and Testing
All endoscopes must be manually precleaned prior to disinfection. Follow the endoscope manufacturer’s
instructions and established professional guidelines to properly preclean the endoscope.
• Endoscopes with elevator wire channels require additional manual cleaning and disinfection steps.
• Leak test endoscopes prior to disinfection procedures.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
The CER OPTIMA®endoscope reprocessing system meets all safety requirements of International standard
IEC 61326-1 for medical electrical equipment and is suitable for use in laboratory environments.

• Endoscopes must be inspected for damage and veried to be in proper working order prior to hookup
connection. If cleaning or leak testing identies endoscope damage or channels that may be restricted
or obstructed, the endoscope should be repaired before further reprocessing. Connection of hookups
to damaged endoscopes, or endoscopes with restricted or obstructed channels may result in inadequate
high level disinfection.
• Users operating MEDIVATORS AERs and hookups must be trained and competent in the
understanding of endoscope channel systems. Prior to hookup connection, users must verify that the
hookup used contains connections for all appropriate endoscope channels that requiring a separate
reprocessing connection.
• Ensure proper alignment of all connectors with the endoscope mating parts prior to attachment.
Misalignment may cause damage to hookup components and/or mating parts.
• All connectors and adapters must remain rmly attached and unrestricted for the entire disinfection
cycle to ensure adequate high level disinfection. Users must inspect the endoscope and hookup
combination to verify proper connection and ow.
• Remove connectors from mating parts by griping the connector directly and detaching from the
endoscope. Do not remove connectors by pulling on tubing.
• Hookups must be periodically checked to ensure their functionality is not impaired. Hookups should be
inspected for damaged or worn connectors, missing components, kinked/blocked tubing or other signs
of deterioration. If signs of damage or deterioration are found, the hookup should be replaced.
• Modications or repairs to hookups which do not correspond to the manufacturer’s specications may
result in inadequate high level disinfection and/or damage to endoscopes.
• Leak testing should be carried out in accordance with endoscope manufacturer’s recommendations
prior to hookup connection.
• Install all necessary waterproof caps, plugs and cleaning adapters prior to immersion.
• Do NOT autoclave MEDIVATORS hookups.
• Avoid biological contamination. Always wear personal protective equipment when handling

PLUMBING & ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Reference the “CER OPTIMA® Pre-site Installation Instructions” the “CER OPTIMA Installation Instructions”
and the “CER OPTIMA Water Filtration Installation Instructions” for further CER OPTIMA Installation
details.
Water Supply
Water flow rate into reprocessor is a minimum of 2 to 3 gallons (7.6 L to 11.3 L) /minute.
Water pressure: Minimum 40 psi (2.8 bar)
Maximum 60 psi (4.1 bar)
Temperature: Water supply [not to exceed 104°F (40°C)]
Note: Endoscope manufacturers recommend that endoscopes not be exposed to
temperatures above 130°F (55°C).
A shut off valve is required.
The water inlet fitting on the reprocessor and on the pre-filter side (water inlet side) of the water filtration
system is ¾-inch male hose thread. All reprocessors and prefilter systems are supplied with a ¾-inch female
thread, 5-foot, flexible, stainless hose.
All tubing necessary to connect the water filtration system to the reprocessor is included with the system. The
water filtration system can be installed in-line.
The water supply can tee off the supply under a counter or can be a dedicated line.
Local plumbing regulations vary regarding installation of:
• Vacuum breakers for the water inlet.
• Backflow protection for the drain.
Note: Medivators recommends that the user check local regulations regarding anti siphon
valves and vacuum breakers before attempting to install any reprocessor models.
Note: Always TURN OFF the water supply at the end of the day!

Drain
A facility drain pipe having a minimum 1-1/2 inch diameter must be placed at least 1 foot below the CER
OPTIMA®Endoscope Reprocessing System drain fitting to ensure complete draining of fluids from the unit.
The drain fitting on the reprocessor is 1 1/4-inch OD with ¾-inch ID pipe thread. It is recommended that the
reprocessor be installed with the 4-foot flexible drain hose supplied with each reprocessor. The drain pipe must
contain an air gap at the point where the CER OPTIMA system drain tubing enters it.
The facility drain must be capable of handling a discharge rate of 5 gallons per minute (19L per minute). A
facility drain having a dishwasher type drain Y is not an acceptable drain method and cannot be used. The drain
Y does not provide adequate drain flow rates and must not be used.
Consult with local plumbing regulations for information regarding backflow protection for drain.
