3. Locate the open end of the outflow tubing and place it into the container of decontamination solution.
This creates a closed loop for the passage of decontamination solution.
4. Using the front panel arrow keys, set the timer until it displays either two (2) minutes or the contact
time specified by the manufacturer of the decontamination solution.
5. Select the “START/STOP” button to begin fluid delivery and verify a steady column of
decontamination solution is now passing through the tubing.
• If the timer was set to two minutes, then press the “START/STOP” button to halt fluid flow and
referencing the decontamination solution manufacturer’s labeling, allow the solution to remain
within SCOPE BUDDY and all connection tubing for a minimum of the full decontamination cycle
contact time.
• If the timer was set to the contact time specified by the manufacturer of the decontamination
solution, then allow the full SCOPE BUDDY cycle time to complete.
6. The decontamination procedure is now complete, and SCOPE BUDDY is ready to be used for
endoscope flushing.
Note: If SCOPE BUDDY is to be unused for an extended period of time such as overnight or
over the weekend, it should be left full of decontamination fluid or rinse water. This
maintains pump-head decontamination, lubrication and facilitates priming. SCOPE BUDDY
should not be air-purged and stored empty between uses. The tubing can be detached from
the SCOPE BUDDY unit during this period.
