Product Description
The Medivators SCOPE BUDDY Endoscope Flushing Aid is designed to facilitate the flushing of rinse
water and cleaning solutions through the channels of flexible, immersible endoscopes. This device is to
be used during the manual pre-cleaning phase of endoscope reprocessing, prior to the endoscope being
placed in an automated endoscope reprocessor (AER) for high level disinfection.
The SCOPE BUDDY combines a diaphragm pump, digital timer, and electronic control circuitry to pump
fluids through tubing connections to the channels of the endoscope. Three different tubing sets allow
connection to most types of endoscopes. The Elevator Wire Channel Hookup allows connection to the
Fujinon endoscope’s elevator wire channel, or to the Fujinon endoscope’s Forward Water Jet. The DSD
Extension Line allows connection to the DSD hook-up which attaches to the endoscope. The Universal
Cleaning Adapter Extension Line and multi-way adapters allow connection to the Universal Cleaning
Adapter Hook-up provided with the endoscope.
The SCOPE BUDDY is designed to be used as a flushing aid only during the manual cleaning process of
a flexible endoscope. This device is not an endoscope disinfector. All endoscopes must be high-level
disinfected prior to use on a patient.
