Forward Water Jet – Fujinon Endoscopes
The SCOPE BUDDY elevator wire channel (EWC) hook-up must
be used to flush the Forward Water Jet of a
Fujinon endoscope.
The Fujinon endoscope’s forward water jet must
be flushed independently and while using Scope Buddy’s
Elevator Wire Channel hook-up. These specific endoscope’s have an internally contained check-valve and
Scope Buddy’s elevator wire channel hook-up is uniquely designed for this function. The DSD Hook-up or the
All-channel Irrigator Hook-up cannot be used to flush the Forward Water Jet of a Fujinon endoscope.
Never flush the Fujinon endoscope’s forward water jet simultaneously with other endoscope channels as the
Fujinon endoscope’s forward water jet will not be properly flushed per the endoscope manufacturer’s standards
and guidelines. The independent flushing of this channel using Scope Buddy’s EWC Hook-up ensures fluid is
delivered directly to this channel. Go to the section labeled “Endoscope Flushing using the Elevator Wire
Channel Hook-up – Fujinon Endoscopes” for further instructions.
Endoscope Flushing using a Medivators DSD Hook-Up
Use this step-by-step procedure to properly attach the device to an endoscope using the Fluid Intake
Tubing, the DSD Extension Line, and the appropriate Medivators DSD Hook-up.
The Fluid Intake Tubing and the DSD Extension Line are provided with the device. The Medivators DSD
Hook-up is provided by current users of a Medivators DSD Endoscope Reprocessor. Reference the
Medivators Hook-up Application Guide, located at www.minntech.com/medivators
to identify the correct
DSD Hook-up for the endoscope being cleaned. Refer to the Directions for Use Instructions supplied with
the hook-up to ensure correct connection.
When properly connected, fluid will be drawn up from the sink or from a clean container of detergent or
rinse water solution, flow through the Fluid Intake Tubing to SCOPE BUDDY, and then out of SCOPE
BUDDY and through the DSD Extension Tubing and the DSD Hook-up to the endoscope. This provides
fluid delivery for flushing the internal lumens of the endoscope.
Note: If flushing the Forward Water Jet or the Elevator Wire Channel of a Fujinon endoscope,
then the elevator wire channel hook-up must be used. The Medivators DSD Hook-up cannot be
used. Go to the section labeled “Endoscope Flushing using the Elevator Wire Channel Hook-up
– Fujinon Endoscopes” for further instructions.
