| Issue: | The manufacturer of EVOTECH® Endoscope Cleaner and Reprocessors (ECR) has discovered that the EVOTECH® ECR may cancel cycles when reprocessing the Pentax EG-3670URK flexible endoscope. The Pentax EG-3670URK flexible endoscope has been qualified for use with the EVOTECH® ECR, however it cannot currently be processed in the EVOTECH® ECR due to incorrect flow rate parameter programming in the system that is specific to this endoscope. The minimum flow rate has been programmed at levels higher than those required for effective cleaning of this scope which leads to cycle cancellation for error of Low Flow. |
