 Attaching the biopsy valve (MD-495) or single use biopsy
valve (MAJ-210)
WARNING
If a biopsy valve is not properly connected to the instrument channel port, it can
reduce the efficacy of the endoscope’s suction system and may cause patient
debris to leak or spray from the endoscope.
NOTE
At low temperature, the biopsy valve may become stiff and difficult to attach.
3 Inspect and verify that the base of the valve is in contact with the suction cylinder
properly. Improper attachment makes a gap between the base of the suction valve
and the top of the suction cylinder.
