OER-Elite OPERATION MANUAL
Intended use
The OER-Elite is intended for use in cleaning and high-level disinfection of heat sensitive Olympus
flexible endoscopes, their accessories, and endoscope reprocessor 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-Elite and Olympus flexible endoscopes, their
accessories, and endoscope reprocessor 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-Elite components and the endoscopes being reprocessed. Endoscopes must be cleaned by the
user prior to reprocessing; however, use of the OER-Elite enables the user to perform modified manual
cleaning of some endoscopes prior to automated cleaning and high-level disinfection in the OER-Elite.
Instruction manuals
The instructions for this reprocessor 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-Elite are found
in “Instructions-Operation Manual”.
Each of these manuals contains essential information for using this reprocessor safely and effectively.
The “Instructions-Installation Manual” describes how to install the reprocessor. The
“Instructions-Operation Manual” describes how to operate and maintain the reprocessor 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-Elite.
The “List of Compatible Endoscopes/Connecting Tubes <OER-Elite>” identifies all Olympus model
endoscopes that are compatible with the OER-Elite, 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-Elite 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 reprocessor as instructed. It might cause
unexpected danger if you do not 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, contact Olympus.

OER-Elite OPERATION MANUAL
Terms used in these manuals
ALT
Stands for Auto Leak Test.
Air purge
In this operation, air is fed into an endoscope channel to blow out residual fluid. This
operation is usually performed automatically during a process, but it can also be activated
independently. Air purge is also used to drain cleaning fluid or disinfectant solution from
inside the reprocessor when the operation has stopped due to an error code, etc.
Alcohol
70% ethyl alcohol or 70% isopropyl alcohol.
Alcohol flush
To assist in drying the channels after reprocessing, alcohol is flushed through the
endoscope channels followed by air. This operation can be performed as the last step of
the reprocessing program or as an independent operation.
Automatic processing
When the reprocessor is stopped by the operator or due to an error, it identifies its status
and executes the optimum operation automatically. For example, if the reprocessor stops
in the middle of the disinfection process, it terminates the disinfection process and
removes the disinfectant solution.
Channel blockage monitoring
This function monitors the channel blockage of endoscope’s suction channel due to a
foreign object, etc., during a reprocessing program.
Channel connectivity monitoring
This function monitors the connection status of the connecting tubes during a
reprocessing program.
Channel monitoring
“Channel monitoring” will be used as a generic term meaning “Channel connectivity
monitoring” and “Channel blockage monitoring”.
Cleaning fluid
Refers to filtered water with detergent that is used during the cleaning process.
Cleaning process
A series of operations programmed into the reprocessor that enable it to perform
ultrasonic cleaning and detergent cleaning of endoscopes.

respiratory organs. If disinfectant solution contacts the skin directly and eyes, it may cause
irritation or damage. Therefore, before handling high-level disinfectant solution and detergent,
carefully read the instructions for use and the safety data sheet. For further details, contact
Olympus.
• While using chemicals, wear appropriate personal protective gear to prevent contact with or
inhalation of chemicals or infectious substances. Personal protective gear includes eyewear,
face mask, moisture-resistant clothing, and chemical-resistant gloves that fit properly and are
long enough so that your skin and eyes is not exposed. All personal protective gear 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 reprocessor in well-ventilated areas.
Wear a face mask, gloves, and protective clothes to minimize aspiration and skin contact.
Wear goggles for eye protection.
Refer to the following association’s guidelines related to ventilation:
If the person operating the reprocessor exhibits an allergic reaction or symptoms, no matter
how slight, they should discontinue the task they are performing and vacate the room.
• Before handling the detergent or disinfectant, read the SDS (material safety data sheets) and
learn what measures to take in the event of exposure.
• Operators who exhibit symptoms of an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the reprocessing
chemicals should not operate this reprocessor.
• This reprocessor can be set up to use the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) function. Be
aware that the radio waves emitted from the RFID reader of the reprocessor may cause
medical devices such as pacemakers to malfunction. If any interference with the equipment is
found, immediately move away from the RFID reader or set the power switch to OFF. Contact
a medical professional immediately if symptoms persist.

Before starting any of the following processes, be sure to check that the concentration of the
disinfectant solution is no less than the Minimum Recommended Concentration (MRC). If the
concentration is below the recommended minimum concentration or the shelf life of the disinfectant
solution has expired, replace the disinfectant solution. The result of MRC can be recorded with the
reprocessor.

Leaking scope decontamination
Water line disinfection
Self-disinfection & Water sampling
Detergent line disinfection
Alcohol line disinfection
WARNING
• The use life of the disinfectant solution may vary depending on many factors,
including storage conditions, and the temperature of the environment where the
reprocessor is installed. Routinely check the concentration of the disinfectant
solution with the test strip before performing endoscope disinfection. If this check is
not performed, the disinfection process may be ineffective. Replace the disinfectant
solution when it fails to meet the minimum recommended concentration or beyond
the specified use life.
• Before handling the disinfectant solution, read the SDS and instructions for use of
the disinfectant solution carefully, get fully accustomed to the contents, and use the
disinfectant solution as instructed. Be sure to fully understand what to do if the
disinfectant solution comes in contact with your skin and eyes.
• When handling the disinfectant solution, wear appropriate personal protective
equipment. Avoid direct physical contact and inhalation of vapors. If any
disinfectant solution gets in your eyes, immediately rinse with a large amount of
fresh water and then consult a medical specialist. 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 and eyes is not
exposed. All personal protective equipment should be inspected before use and
replaced periodically. If personal protective gear is damaged or defective in
anyway, do not handle hazardous chemicals and refer to the facility policies.

WARNING
Since the period of validity of the disinfectant solution varies depending on multiple
factors including the storage condition and the environmental temperature of the
reprocessor’s installation location, be sure to check the concentration of the
disinfectant solution before reprocessing endoscopes. If the concentration is below
the recommended minimum concentration or the validity date specified for the
disinfectant solution has expired, replace the disinfectant solution. Otherwise, the
endoscope reprocessing would become insufficient.
