Testing showed that the required efficacy level of disinfection using CIDEX OPA was not achieved. To the extent included in the current applicable instructions for use, the following methods are being removed as reprocessing methods from the instructions for use of the affected endoscopes. +Manual High-Level Disinfection: -Cidex-OPA -Revital-Ox" RESERT¿ (e.g., 2.0% Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide solution). +Automated Endoscope Reprocessor: -Medivators AER -Reliance EPS -EvoTech ECR Customer Actions: 1.
