An olympus medical endoscopy support specialist performed a scope reprocessing in-service at the customer site as part of annual training.During the annual training, a staff member demonstrated reprocessing and the technician did not flush the device with detergent solution, water and air after the brush-cleaning was completed.The flushing steps are outlined in the device reprocessing manual.The device delivered a biopsy channel detachment error when it was being reprocessed in the device reprocessor.The endoscopy support specialist instructed the technician that if the scope were being sterilized, the flushing steps had to be performed.The technician repeated the demonstration of reprocessing with all required steps performed.The issue was resolved during observation.Once the facility inputted the correct model number, the error went away.No adverse effects to patient reported.
