6-2-1 WATER BOTTLE CLEANING
NOTE:
Take care in handling the water bottle. Do NOT carry the water bottle by the Air/Water connector or Air/Water
hose. When the cap assembly has been separated from the bottle, be careful in handling the water feeding stem.
Water bottles should be sterilized at least on a daily basis. Like all endoscopic accessories, the water bottle
assembly must be thoroughly cleaned. Failure to do so could result in incomplete or ineffective sterilization.
6-2-1-1 CLEANING
1) Immediately after use, the entire water bottle assembly (bottle, cap assembly and tubing) should be washed
with fresh detergent solution and dampened gauze or scrub brush. Complete immersion in a detergent solu-
tion should be used for soiled items. Internal surfaces of the water bottle assembly may be exposed to the
detergent by injecting the detergent into the air pipe stem (opposite the A/W-DRAIN lever on the water bot-
tle cap) using a syringe. The A/W-DRAIN lever should be set to the A/W position to ensure contact with all
internal tubes.
Figure 57
2) Ultrasonic cleaning of the entire water bottle assembly is recommended to access difficult to reach areas.
Use an operating frequency of 44 kHz ± 6% for a period at least 5 minutes.
3) After washing with the cleaning solution, all surface areas of the water bottle assembly should be thoroughly
rinsed and dried. Use gauze or lint-free cloth to wipe dry most surfaces. Compressed air and 70% alcohol
may be used to facilitate drying of hard to reach areas.
6-2-1-2 STERILIZATION
Before any attempt has been made to sterilize the water bottle assembly, ensure that the cleaning process above
has been completed.
CAUTION:
• Use only the type of packaging material and package configuration as recommended by the manufacturer of the
sterilizer.
• The sterilization parameters are only valid with sterilization equipment that is properly maintained and calibrated.
Use appropriate heat process indicators and/or biological monitors as recommended by the manufacturer of the
sterilizer.
67-42-102d EN
- 59 -
(1) STEAM STERILIZATION
The OS-H4 water bottle assembly has been designed to withstand high-pressure steam sterilization procedures.
Use the parameters below:
Sterilizer Type : Prevacuum

Temperature : 132 ~ 135 °C (270 ~ 275 °F)

NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from struc-
tures, objects and people.
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur
radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic envi-
ronment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location
in which the EPK-i is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the EPK-i should be observed to verify normal operation.
If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the EPK-i.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Recommended separation distances between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the EPK-i
The EPK-i is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the
user of the EPK-i can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment (transmitters) and the EPK-i as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the commu-
nications equipment.
