ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSOR OER-ProOperation Manual
Important Information — Please Read
Before Use
Intended use
The OER-Pro is intended for use in cleaning and high-level disinfection of heat
sensitive Olympus flexible endoscopes and their accessories. Safe use requires
detergent and an FDA-cleared high-level disinfectant/sterilant that Olympus has
validated to be efficacious and compatible with the materials of the OER-Pro and
Olympus flexible endoscopes and their accessories. Use of a detergent or
high-level disinfectant/sterilant that has not been validated by Olympus may be
ineffective and can damage the OER-Pro components and the endoscopes
being reprocessed. Endoscopes must be subject to cleaning by the user prior to
reprocessing; however, use of the OER-Pro enables the user to perform
modified manual cleaning of the endoscope prior to automated cleaning and
high-level disinfection in the OER-Pro.

10
Important Information — Please Read Before Use
ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSOR OER-ProOperation Manual
Instruction manuals
The instructions for this equipment are divided into two volumes:
“Instructions-Installation Manual”, and “Instructions-Operation Manual”.
Instructions regarding the preparation of endoscopes prior to placing them in the
OER-Pro are found in “Instructions-Operation Manual”.
Each of these manuals contains essential information for using this equipment
safely and effectively. The “Instructions-Installation Manual” describes how to
install the equipment. The “Instructions-Operation Manual” describes how to
operate and maintain the equipment and describes modifications to the manual
endoscope cleaning process that can save the user time and inconvenience, if
the endoscope is going to be subsequently reprocessed using the OER-Pro.
The “List of Compatible Endoscopes/Connecting Tubes <OER-Pro>” identifies
all Olympus model endoscopes that are compatible with the OER-Pro, plus the
specific connecting tube(s) required for each of these endoscope models.
The descriptions in these manuals assume that all endoscopes are reprocessed
in the OER-Pro using both an Olympus-validated detergent and disinfectant.
Contact Olympus to obtain the list of both Olympus-validated disinfectant
solutions and detergents.
Before using this reprocessor, be sure to review all of the above-mentioned
manuals, the safety information provided with Olympus-validated detergents and
disinfectants, and the manuals for all other equipment used in the process.
Always use this equipment as instructed. It might cause unexpected danger if
you don’t follow the installation and operation manual. Keep these and all related
instruction manuals and documents in a safe and accessible location.
If you have any questions or comments about any information in these manuals,
please contact Olympus.

ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSOR OER-ProOperation Manual
User qualifications
The operator of this equipment must be sufficiently trained in reprocessing of
endoscopes. The medical literature reports cases of infections due to
inappropriate cleaning, disinfection, and /or sterilization. Thoroughly review and
understand the following items before use:
Cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization procedures
described in the instruction manuals for the endoscope
and ancillary equipment.
Professional health and safety standards.
Applicable guidelines on cleaning, disinfection, and
sterilization of endoscopy equipment.
Structure and handling of endoscopic equipment.
Personal protective equipment requirements to minimize
exposure to chemicals and infectious materials.
These manuals do not explain or discuss detailed cleaning, disinfection, and
sterilization procedures. For more details, please consult your facility’s
procedures, professional guidelines, and regulatory requirements for
reprocessing endoscopes.
Ensuring the safety of reprocessing personnel
• Disinfectant solution and detergent may irritate the mucous membranes
in the eyes and respiratory organs. If disinfectant solution contacts
directly on the skin, it may cause irritation or damage. Therefore, before
handling high-level disinfectant solution, carefully read the instructions
for use and the material safety data sheet.
• During reprocessing, wear appropriate personal protective equipment to
prevent contact with or inhalation of infectious substances or
disinfectant. Personal protective equipment includes eyewear, face
mask, moisture-resistant clothing, and chemical-resistant gloves that fit
properly and are long enough so that your skin is not exposed. All
personal protective equipment should be inspected before use and
replaced periodically before it is damaged.
• When using disinfectant solution and alcohol, Olympus recommends the
use of gas filters and running this equipment in well-ventilated areas.
Wear a face mask, gloves, and protective clothes to
minimize aspiration and skin contact.
Wear goggles for eye protection.

ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSOR OER-ProOperation Manual
• Operators who exhibit symptoms of an allergic reaction or sensitivity to
the reprocessing chemicals should not operate this equipment.
• This equipment can be set up to use the RFID (Radio Frequency
Identification) function. Please be aware that the radio waves emitted
from the RFID reader of the equipment may cause medical devices such
as pacemakers to malfunction. If any interference with the equipment is
observed, immediately move away from the RFID reader or set the
power switch to OFF. Call your doctor if you do not begin to feel better.
Equipment compatibility
Use this equipment in combination with ancillary equipment listed in “System
chart” in the Appendix. Using incompatible equipment may result in patient or
operator injury and equipment damage and/or malfunction.
Olympus has not tested the efficacy of cleaning and high-level disinfection on
this equipment in combination with endoscopes that are not listed on the “List of
compatible Endoscopes/Connecting Tubes <OER-Pro>”. If a nonlisted
endoscope is reprocessed using this equipment, be sure to validate in advance
that entire part of endoscope including internal channels can be effectively
cleaned and high-level disinfected, and it can maintain the function of the
endoscope without damage or degradation. Furthermore, verify this reprocess
method is appropriate for the endoscope.
Refer to the following association’s guidelines related to ventilation:
SGNA (Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates)
ASGE (American Society of Gastroenterological Endoscopy)
APIC (Association for Professionals of Infection Control and
Epidemiology)
AORN (Association of Preoperative Registered Nurses)
ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration)
ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists)
NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health)
AIA (American Institute of Architects)
Do not handle the equipment if the operator shows any allergic
symptoms even while wearing protective gear.

Care and storage
After use, reprocess and store this equipment referring to the instructions in
Chapter 5, “End-of-Day Checks” in this manual. Inappropriate care and storage
could present an infection control risk and/or cause equipment damage or
malfunction.
Maintenance and Inspection
• The OER-Pro requires routine maintenance and inspection. In addition
to checks before use, the person in charge of maintenance and
administration of the medical equipment at the hospital should
periodically check all of the items described in this manual. If any
irregularity is observed, do not use the equipment and inspect it as
described in 8.1, “Troubleshooting guide” on page 274. If the irregularity
is still present, the equipment must be repaired prior to next use.
• If the lamp of the PERIODIC MAINTENANCE indicator starts to blink,
described in Section 2.5, “Control panels” on page 28, the time for
regularly scheduled maintenance is near. When the lamp starts to blink,
be sure to contact Olympus immediately and perform the maintenance.
If you do not know when the lamp started to blink, do not use the device
and contact Olympus. Otherwise, effectiveness of the reprocessing may
be compromised.
Repair and modification
Do not disassemble, modify or attempt to repair this equipment and its
accessories. Doing so could result in operator or patient injury and/or equipment
damage or malfunction. Some problems that appear to be malfunctions may be
corrected by referring to Chapter 8, “Troubleshooting and Repair”. If the problem
cannot be resolved using the information in Chapter 8, “Troubleshooting and
Repair”, contact Olympus.
