Daily Quality Assurance Test
To verify SCOPE BUDDY is operating properly and delivering the correct amount of fluid, the Quality
Assurance Flow Validation Test must be performed. This validation test should be performed prior to the
first use of the day and quickly determines if the device is delivering the correct volume of fluid.
The SCOPE BUDDY validation test is performed using the Flow Verification Tube, Fluid Intake Line, the
Universal Cleaning Adapter Extension Line, the SCOPE BUDDY device, and a graduated cylinder. To
perform the test, SCOPE BUDDY is preset to pump for a specific period of time and then after pumping, the
dispensed fluid is measured to identify if it is within an acceptable volume range.
Although the test can be performed at any time, it is recommended that it be run at the start of each work
day. Use the following procedure to perform the test.
WARNING: Failure to perform the daily quality test can result in the device
not delivering the proper amount of fluid through the channels of an endoscope.
Note: A 200cc graduated cylinder is required to perform this test.
