Attaching the balloon
1.
Inspect the balloon and confirm that there are no holes, swelling, color
changes or any other irregularities. If an irregularity is detected, do not use
the balloon; use a spare instead, inspecting it thoroughly before use.
2. Insert the front end of the balloon into the installation side of the balloon
applicator. Slide the rear band of the balloon into the groove of the balloon
applicator (see Figure 3.25).

3. Insert the distal end of the endoscope into the balloon applicator until it
contacts the front end of the balloon.
4. Remove the rear band from the balloon applicator and attach it to the
endoscope’s balloon attachment groove (see Figure 3.26).
