Chapter 3 Preparation and Inspection
ULTRASOUND GASTROVIDEOSCOPE GF-UCT180
• Confirm that the balloon applicator (MAJ-675) and cotton
thread that is used to tie the balloon have been properly
reprocessed as described in Chapters 5, “Reprocessing:
General Policy” through 7, “Cleaning, Disinfection, and
Sterilization Procedures”.
• If you find that a sterile balloon’s peel pack is open,
damaged, or soiled, do not use that balloon.
• When using the sterile balloon (MAJ-249), inspect the sterile
package for tears, inadequate sealing, or water damage. If
the sterile package shows any irregularity, the sterile
condition of the instrument may have been compromised.
• The balloons and the balloon applicator to be used with this
endoscope are listed below. Balloon 3 is shipped sterile.
• The balloon can easily tear, so beware of sharp objects.
• Store the balloon in a cool environment with low humidity.
• The resealable package containing the balloons also
contains a deoxidizer to maintain a deoxygenated condition
until the sterile peel pack is opened. After the resealable
package is opened, the balloons will gradually deteriorate. To
minimize deterioration, always keep the package sealed.
• The balloon applicator is reusable and supplied nonsterile.
Prepare the balloon and the balloon applicator.
