7.4 Manual Cleaning (cleaning in sink)
After the pre-cleaning at bedside, carry out a manual cleaning carefully in the sink. Run an
air tightness test on the endoscope before cleaning.
WARNING
Carefully inspect all cleaning brushes for abnormalities and/or damage
prior to use. Check the brushes integrity after every brushing to ensure
that they are not damaged and no brush fragment remains inside the
channel. Retained brush fragments could be a potential source of
infection and/or cause patient injury.
In case the cleaning brush is damaged during cleaning, remove any
residue from inside the channel using a spare brush. If residue is not
completely removed even with the spare brush, have the endoscope
repaired immediately. If residue remains inside the channel, it could be
a source of infection.
CAUTION
In case the cleaning brush is damaged inside the channel, insert a
spare brush to remove the particles of the damaged cleaning brush
by pushing them out of the channel. If the particles are not completely
removed even with the spare brush, have the endoscope repaired
immediately. If a damaged brush is left in the channel, the residue may
fall out during a procedure and injure the patient.
If any abnormal resistance is experienced while inserting the brush into the tube, have the
endoscope repaired immediately.

8.5 Cleaning and Disinfection Using an Automated Endoscope Reprocessor (AER)
WARNING
Some legally marketed automated endoscope reprocessors (AERs)
may be able to clean and/or disinfect FUJIFILM endoscopes.
However, end-users must check with each AER manufacturer to
confirm that their AERs use peracetic acid as disinfectant solution
and conform to ISO 15883 and that they also have validation data
to support their reprocessing claims for FUJIFILM endoscopes and
detachable endoscope components, such as valve mechanisms.
Inadequate device-specific instructions and/or non-validated AER
recommendations could result in unsuccessful cleaning and/or highlevel disinfection which may increase risks to patient safety.
Some legally marketed automated endoscope reprocessors (AERs) may be able to clean
