Anything remaining in the channels could potentially be walled against the effects of the disinfection, so you have to keep inspecting the scopes throughout the manual stages. Transfer the scope to the automated endoscopic reprocessor (AER). Connect the scope, making sure that the entire scope will be below the disinfectant fluid, and activate the AER. Some newer AERs will suggest neglecting the manual stages listed above. In my opinion, though, machines aren't fool proof. They do fail, and although humans do, too, you need a set of human eyes in the room to pick up any remnant debris and scrub it away before the scope goes through the AER. 10 Specifically designed for the pre-cleaning of endoscopes, TBJ sinks are careful crafted to meet each customer's distinct demands and individual standards.
