ULTRASOUND GASTROVIDEOSCOPE GF-UCT180
6.9 OER-AW (Olympus Endoscope Reprocessor)
When using Olympus OER-AW, move the elevator control
lever to make the instrument channel outlet of the distal end
opened (i.e., lower the forceps elevator), attach the dedicated
connecting tube to the distal end of the endoscope, and set it
in your OER-AW according to its instructions. When using an
AER/WD that is not recommended by Olympus, set the
forceps elevator according to the AER/WD manufacturer’s
instructions.
