•Store the bronchoscope hanging vertically with all valves and caps removed.

•Use a compatible disinfectant and test it for proper concentration as recommended by the manufacturer.

•Do not use the carrying case to store "patient-ready" endoscopes. Any bronchoscope placed in the carrying case must be reprocessed prior to patient use.
