7. Verify solution is exiting the endoscope channel. If fluid fails to come out, then the channel may be
blocked and 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 or the endoscope should be
taken out of service.
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 the endoscope
channel.
Caution: The screened end of the Fluid Intake Line must remain fully 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.
8. After 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 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
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 channel.
5. Verify rinse water is exiting the endoscope channel. 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 fluid 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 the endoscope channel.
