Reason/Issue |
Pentax is issuing updated, validated manual reprocessing instructions for the ED-3490TK Video Duodenoscope to replace those provided in the original device labelling. The updated reprocessing instructions for the ED-3490TK Video Duodenoscope include a more rigorous protocol for pre-cleaning, manual cleaning, high-level disinfection and liquid chemical sterilisation procedures. In addition, updated instructions include additional text, figures, cautions and warnings intended to clarify the validated reprocessing procedure.
If not properly reprocessed, residual body fluids and organic debris may remain in microscopic crevices of the device following an attempted cleaning and high level disinfection. |
