Olympus OER Pro
Olympus · Model OER Pro
Quick Reprocessing Time. Simultaneous reprocessing of two flexible scopes in about 29 minutes, or one scope at a time, including Olympus ultrasonic scopes and other specialty models. Compact and Smart Design. Simple configuration in a compact 18"-wide designhalf the size of earlier reprocessorshelps ease operation and installation while minimizing space requirements. Also equipped with casters for increased mobility and accessibility. Modified Manual Cleaning. Easier and faster cleaning process, which eliminates 7 of the 11 manual cleaning steps, including the most labor-intensive and variable part of the process: manual flushing of the endoscope channels with detergent, water, and air. Automated Scope ID System. Equipped with a simple-to-use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) management system, which provides automated traceability of the scope serial and model numbers, operator, and time of reprocessing to eliminate cumbersome manual input from a keypad or barcode. Data Management Simplify data input, streamline accurate record keeping, and reduce the need for paper receipt searches with two dedicated data management solutions that can be scaled to meet any busy reprocessing center's budgetary needs. OER-Pro data management solutions are focused on mitigating risk and achieving superior reprocessing compliance.

Key tips
- ·A failed leak test means the scope does not get reprocessed or used - send it for repair, full stop.
- ·A shortened reprocessing cycle is a real infection-control failure, not a minor deviation - follow AAMI ST91 exactly.
- ·Track light-source lamp-hours against the manufacturer's limit rather than running to failure.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Cycle fault / abort
HighSymptoms: Cycle stops with a fault code, scope not high-level disinfected, must be re-run.
Root cause: Water fill / drain fault, a leak-test failure, a channel-flow / pressure fault, or a chemistry-delivery fault.
Channel-flow / connector fault
MediumSymptoms: Low-flow or occlusion alarm on a scope channel, incomplete flushing.
Root cause: Wrong or worn hook-up connector, a blocked channel, or a flow-sensor fault.
Leak-test failure
HighSymptoms: The reprocessor's automated leak test fails.
Root cause: A genuine scope leak, or a worn leak-test connector / pump.
Chemistry / disinfectant concentration fault
MediumSymptoms: Low-concentration alarm, MEC test fails, dosing alarm.
Root cause: Empty or expired disinfectant, a dosing-pump fault, or a concentration-monitor fault.
Water-quality / filtration fault
MediumSymptoms: Water-quality alarm, poor rinse, filter-change overdue.
Root cause: Loaded pre-filter / final micron filter, or an RO / water-supply issue.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Leak testing before each reprocessing cycle
- ·Scope reprocessing per AAMI ST91
- ·Light source lamp-hour tracking
- ·Annual full PM
Error Codes
Extracted directly from this unit's own service manual.
[E41]Error code [E41] will be displayed when the device is turned ON.
After checking, press the STOP/RESET button to release the error code. However, if the error code is blinking, the disinfectant solution in the basin is being collected in the tank and pressing the button will have no effect; in this case, wait until the blinking changes to a steady light.
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Cycle fault / abort
- Note the fault code and the phase it aborted in.
- Confirm the correct hook-up connectors for that scope model and that all channels are connected.
- Check the water supply, the pre-filter and final micron filters, and the drain.
- Run the MEC / disinfectant-concentration test.
- Follow the service manual for the specific code.
Symptom: Leak-test failure
- Repeat the manual / bench leak test on the scope to confirm a genuine leak.
- If the scope passes, inspect the reprocessor's leak-test connector and pump.
- Replace the leak-test connector.
- Re-run the automated leak test.
- Quarantine and send the scope for repair if it genuinely leaks.
Symptom: Channel-flow / connector alarm / incomplete flushing
- Confirm the correct connectors and that they are seated.
- Check the channel for a blockage and the flow sensors.
- Descale / clean the water path per the manual.
- Verify each channel flow against the spec.
- Replace worn connectors or refer a flow-sensor fault.
Symptom: Low disinfectant concentration / MEC test fails / water-quality alarm
- Confirm the disinfectant is in date and not expended.
- Check the dosing pump and its tubing.
- Replace the water filters if the change is overdue.
- Run the concentration monitor's own check.
- Replace the dosing pump or concentration monitor as isolated.
