Inspection of single-use equipment
• All items mentioned below are single-use items. Do not
clean, disinfect, or sterilize the equipment prior to use and/or
after use. Doing so may damage the equipment. Using
damaged equipment may make it difficult to effectively
reprocess the endoscope, and could cause endoscope
and/or equipment damage.
• Do not store the equipment outside its packaging. Doing so
could allow the equipment to become damaged. Before use,
inspect the bristles for any damage. If the bristles are
crushed, gently straighten them with your fingers. Using a
brush with crushed bristles may make it difficult to effectively
reprocess the endoscope.
• Before use, inspect the equipment for any irregularities.
Should any irregularity be observed, use a spare instead.
Using defective equipment may result in ineffectual
reprocessing, and could cause endoscope and/or equipment
damage.
