BRONCHOSCOPE DISINFECTION GUIDE

Refer to the companion BRONCHO SCOPE CLEANING G UIDE for detailed cleaning info rmation

WARNING:

This guide is only a summary of the steps necessary to properly disinfect your bronchoscope. Be sure to follow the

detailed steps outlined in the ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSING MANUAL that

was included with your

bronchoscope

when purchased.

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 bub­bles clinging to external surfaces.

Soak all equipment according to
the time and temperature
recommended by the disinfectant
manufacturer. Use a timer to
measure the exact contact time.

Connect the suction cleaning
adapter and syringe. Inject air
to remove disinfectant from the
instrument/suction channels,
then remove the bronchoscope
from the disinfectant.

Disconnect the suction cleaning
adapter and immerse the
bronchoscope and adapter in
sterile water. Using a sterile,
lint-free cloth, thoroughly 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.

•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 recom-
 mended by the manufacturer.

•Do not use the carrying case to store 
 "patient-ready" endoscopes. Any broncho-
 scope 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.
