Caution: Failure to verify fluid flow through the endoscope can result in an endoscope which is
not properly flushed or cleaned. Always verify fluid is exiting all endoscope ports including 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 key 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.
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 of 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 Elevator
Wire Channel Hook-up – Fujinon Endoscopes
Use this step-by-step procedure to properly flush a Fujinon endoscope’s Elevator Wire Channel, or Fujinon
Forward Water Jet. This procedure is used to attach the SCOPE BUDDY to an endoscope using the Fluid
Intake Tubing and the Elevator Wire Channel Hook-up.
The Fluid Intake Tubing and the Elevator Wire Channel Hook-up are provided with the device. When properly
connected, fluid will be drawn up from the sink or from 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 Elevator Wire Channel Hook-up to the endoscope. This provides fluid delivery for flushing the
individual channel of the endoscope.
