Transporting outside the hospital
Transport the endoscope in the carrying case.
Always clean, disinfect, or sterilize the endoscope after
removing it from the carrying case. If the endoscope is not
cleaned, disinfected, or sterilized, it could pose an infection
control risk.
• The carrying case cannot be cleaned, disinfected, or
sterilized. Clean and disinfect or sterilize the endoscope
before placing it in the carrying case.
• To avoid damage to the endoscope caused by changes in air
pressure, do not attach the water-resistant cap when
transporting the endoscope.
• Before putting the endoscope in the carrying case, always
make sure that the insertion section is set to the most flexible
condition. Putting the endoscope in the carrying case while
the insertion section is rigid could damage the endoscope
(for endoscopes with flexibility adjustment only).
