Purging an Endoscope of Detergent:
1. Remove the Fluid Intake Line from the detergent solution and place on the counter.
2. Press the START/STOP button once to reset the timer to the original pre-set time amount.
3. Press the START/STOP button again to begin pumping. The timer display will now begin counting
down as some of the detergent solution is pumped out the endoscope. Verify fluid is exiting the tip of
the endoscope.
4. Press START/STOP button to halt pumping when fluid no longer exits the endoscope. Note: Most
fluid is now purged from the endoscope, but some residual fluid will remain in the endoscope.
Rinsing an Endoscope with Water:
1. Dispose contaminated detergent solution down the drain and thoroughly rinse the sink.
2. Fill the sink or the fluid container with clean rinse water and place the Fluid Intake Line into the
clean water
3. Press the START/STOP button once to reset the timer to the original pre-set time amount.
4. Press the START/STOP button again to begin the cycle; the timer display will now begin counting
down. Rinse water will now be drawn up, pumped through the device, and will flow out of the
endoscope channels.
5. Verify rinse water is exiting all endoscope channels. If fluid fails to come out of the endoscope, then
the endoscope may need to be manually brushed and cleaned again. The flushing process will then
need to be repeated until flow through the endoscope is verified.
Caution: Failure to verify fluid flow through the endoscope can result in an
endoscope which is not properly rinsed. Always verify fluid is exiting all endoscope ports at the
distal end.
Caution: The screened end of the Fluid Intake Line must remain deeply submerged in
solution to ensure proper fluid delivery and no interruption in fluid flow.
Note: A flushing cycle can be paused by pressing the START/STOP button. Pressing the
START/STOP button again will resume the original cycle. If; however, an arrow key was
pressed during the pause cycle, then pressing the START/STOP button will begin a cycle
from the original pre-set time amount.
6. Once the timer counts down to zero, fluid flow will stop and a five-second audible tone will be heard.
During this time, the timer display will flash all zeros “00.00” and then remain with a zero display
providing an indication that the cycle is complete.
