Manufacturer Narrative

A facility reported a black substance appeared in both basins of their dsd edge automated endoscope re-processor (aer) after completion of a reprocessing cycle.There is potential for patient exposure to the black substance during endoscopy procedures.Medivators field service engineer (fse) evaluated the aer and performed a preventative maintenance (pm) service as requested by the facility.It was determined that the source of the black substance was due to degradation of the disinfectant pumps from extended exposure to the high-level disinfectant.Medivators recommends replacing these pumps at least annually as part of routine preventative maintenance.The facility's biomedical technician reported he was unaware when the last pm was performed on the aer.The facility does not have a service contract with medivators and the aer is normally serviced by the facility's biomedical technicians.Per medivators dsd edge user manual, it is the responsibility of the facility to ensure proper servicing is performed on the aer.The facility reported that their biomedical technicians will perform pm services on the aer in the future.It is unknown if the endoscopes potentially exposed to the black substance were used in patient procedures.There have been no reports of patient harm.This complaint will continue being monitored in medivators complaint handling system.
