ULTRASOUND GASTROVIDEOSCOPE GF-UCT180
3.4 Attaching accessories to the endoscope
The air/water valve and the suction valve do not require
lubrication. Lubricants can cause swelling of the valves’
seals, which will impair valve function.
Attaching the suction valve
Attach the suction valve (MAJ-1443) to the suction cylinder of the endoscope
(see Figure 3.12). Confirm that valve is fitted properly without any bulging of the
skirt.
Figure 3.12
The suction valve will make a whistling noise when it is dry;
this does not indicate a malfunction.
