•Autoclave all autoclavable accessories.

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

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

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

Clean the bronchoscope meticulously prior to disinfection.
