Special precautions: Pathogens of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy

A comprehensive explanation of the necessary preventative measures with regard to agents of Transmissible
Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) would go beyond the scope of this document.
It is assumed that pathogens of the Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease cannot be killed using normal disinfection and
sterilisation processes. Therefore, the standard methods for decontamination and sterilisation are not sufficient
if there is a risk of transferring Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease.
In general, only tissue with a low potential of TSE infection comes into contact with surgical instruments. In spite
of this, special preventative measures must be taken for instruments which are used to treat patients with a
known or suspected infection of TSE, as well as for patients at risk.
9.5. Processing restricions
Repeated processing has only minimal effect on the endoscopes. The service life of the units is usually deter-
mined by wear and damage.
The endoscope can be damaged if the manufacturer's specifications are not observed.
Do not clean endoscope in an ultrasonic bath.

10. Assembly

1. Connection for illumination fibre, type ACMI.
2. Adapter type Wolf.
3. Adapter type Storz / Olympus.
If necessary mount adapter for illumination fibre.
Ensure that the irradiation surface of the illumination fibre is clean.
Mount illumination fibre (see manufacturer's specifications).
If required, adapt the camera (see manufacturer's specifications).
D900 700 023 D
For endoscopes with working channel:
a. Union nut.
b. Stopcock.
c. Sealing cap, green.
d. Stopcock nut.
In order to ensure sterility, only use grease which is suitable for
medical instruments for the stopcock.
Lubricate stopcock b.
Mount stopcock b and fix with stopcock nut d.
Remove excess grease.
