• Do not allow the washing solution to contact metal components.

• Do not use alcohol or alcohol-based products to clean the Reprocessor cabinet.

• Medivators endoscope hookups are not autoclavable. The hookups are automatically disinfected with each use due to their exposure to the entire disinfection cycle; no further disinfection or rinsing is required prior to their next use.
