FLUSHING PUMP OFP
7
3.10 Depress and hold down the footswitch and adjust the flow control to activate the peristaltic pump. Confirm that water exits
from the endoscope water channel then release the footswitch to stop water flow.
NOTE
Ensure that no leaks are present from the irrigation tubing or any of its connections before use.
Take care not to spr ay equipment with water when operating the OFP with the endoscope outside the patient.
3.11 During the endoscopic procedure, depress the footswitch when mucosal lavage is r equired. Adjust the flow rate by means
of the flow control on the front panel.
WARNING
The operator must assess the condition of the patient and use clinical judgement to set the flow rate from the
pump to a suitable level to avoid patient trauma. The flow control should always be set to MIN at the start of the
procedure and be increased progressively to a level commensurate with the clinical condition of the patient and
degree of washing required.
Note that when the flow control is set to MAX, the flow r ate through the washing channel of the endoscope will
be in excess of that which can be delivered when using a 50ml syringe.
CAUTION
NEVER allow the fluid container to run dry, otherwise air will be supplied to the patient.
3.12 To refill the fluid container during use, leave the pump cover closed so as not to disturb the irrigation tube. Lift the irrigation
tube from the fluid container and remove the container from the unit. Unscr ew the cap, fill the container with sterile water
then replace the cap. Place the container back on the unit and secure with the Velcro s trap. Insert the irrigation tube into
the container through the lid.
3.13 The remote control cableconnector must onlybe used with theoptional Remote Control Cable MAJ--920. When connected,
this enables the OFP to be remotely controlled from the Olympus EVIS EXERA series endoscopes. Refer to MAJ--920
instructions for s etting endoscope remote switch functions.
