Purging an Endoscope of Rinse Water:
1. Remove the Fluid Intake Line from the rinse water 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 rinse solution is pumped out the endoscope. Verify fluid is exiting the
endoscope.
4. Press START/STOP button to halt pumping when fluid no longer exits the endoscope.
Note: Residual fluid will remain in the endoscope. Do not use SCOPE BUDDY to deliver
alcohol to the endoscope. Alcohol should never be used in SCOPE BUDDY.
5. Upon successful completion of these steps, the endoscope is now ready to be placed in an
Automated Endoscope Reprocessor, or it can be manually reprocessed for high-level disinfection.
Never use alcohol in SCOPE BUDDY.
Endoscope Flushing using the Endoscope
Manufacturer’s All-channel Irrigator
Use this step-by-step procedure to properly attach the device to an endoscope using the Fluid Intake
Tubing, the Universal Cleaning Extension Line with multi-way adapters, and the Universal Cleaning Adapter
supplied by the endoscope manufacturer
Note: The endoscope’s Universal Cleaning Adapter may be referred to as the All-Channel
Irrigator by some endoscope manufacturers.
The Fluid Intake Tubing and the Universal Cleaning Extension Line with multi-way adapters are provided
with the SCOPE BUDDY. The Universal Cleaning Adapter is supplied by the endoscope manufacturer.
Refer to the endoscope manufacturer’s Instructions for Use to ensure the correct Cleaning Adapter is being
used and that it is correctly connected.
When properly connected, fluid will be drawn up from the sink or a clean container of detergent or rinse
water solution. The fluid will flow through the Fluid Intake Tubing to SCOPE BUDDY, and then out of
SCOPE BUDDY and through the Universal Cleaning Extension Line with multi-way adapters and the
Universal Cleaning Adapter 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 brand
endoscope, then the elevator wire channel hook-up must be used. The Manufacturer’s All-
Channel Irrigator or Universal Cleaning Adapter cannot be used. Go to the section labeled
“Endoscope Flushing using the Elevator Wire Channel Hook-up – Fujinon Endoscopes” for
further instructions.
