WARNING
The biopsy valve is a consumable that should be inspected as described below
before each use. Replace it with a new one if any irregularity is observed during the
inspection. An irregular, abnormal, or damaged valve can reduce the efficacy of the
endoscope’s suction system, and may leak or spray patient debris or fluids, posing
an infection control risk.
Inspect the biopsy valve (MD-495) as described in the biopsy valve’s instruction
manual.
