ULTRASONIC BRONCHOFIBERVIDEOSCOPE BF-UC180F
• Gently withdraw the channel cleaning brush (BW-15B), the
single use channel cleaning brush (BW-201B), the single use
combination cleaning brush (BW-411B), or the single use
single-ended cleaning brush (BW-400B) from the instrument
channel or suction channel. Make sure that the shaft does
not rub against the external opening of the suction cylinder.
This could damage the brush and/or wear a groove in the
opening, leading to impaired suction and liquid leakage.
• Do not attempt to pass the channel cleaning brush
(BW-15B), the single use channel cleaning brush
(BW-201B), the single use combination cleaning brush
(BW-411B), or the single use single-ended cleaning brush
(BW-400B) from the distal end of the insertion section and/or
suction connector. It may get caught, making retrieval
impossible.
While the endoscope is submerged, brush the instrument and the suction
channel, suction cylinder, instrument channel port, balloon channel and irrigation
port according to the following procedures (see Figure 7.20).
