3. Handling Instructions
A. Sterilization of Endoscope Holder
Warning: The Point Setter arm and OR table adapter are never sterilized. Instead
they are covered by a sterile drape as referenced in 3. D. (page 15).
Sterilize the endoscope holder using the following instructions. Please follow these
instructions carefully.
CLEANING AND STERILIZATION OF REUSABLE ACCESSORIES
FOR THE MITAKA POINT SETTER (“ENDOSCOPE HOLDER”)
NOTE: Throughout this sterilization section, the reusable sterilizable accessories that
are attached to the Point Setter arm through the sterile drape, as shown on page
10, are collectively referred to as “endoscope holder” for purposes of
simplification.
Warning: The endoscope holder must be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized according to
validated infection control procedures prior to use and subsequent reuse.
Caution: Any deviations from the recommended parameters for cleaning and sterilization
should be validated by the user.
■ Preparation for Cleaning and Sterilization
Place the endoscope holder in a container and soak with a neutral pH (pH
5.0 to 8.0) enzymatic cleaning solution (e.g., Enzol, Metrizyme, or
equivalent per manufacturer’s instructions) immediately after use to
prevent blood, protein and other contaminants from drying onto the
endoscope holder.
■ Water Quality Requirements
Distilled water is recommended for cleaning and rinsing of the endoscope
holder.
