OSF-3 ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSING MANUAL
Figure 3.12
Brushing the Channels
To avoid splattering of detergent solution when the Channel
Cleaning Brush is pulled out, keep the endoscope
submerged.
The channel cleaning brush is an item that is subject to wear.
Repeated using may cause the brush head being bent or
kinked, as a result the brush head may be come off. Confirm
that the brush is free from any damages or other irregularities
before and after each use. If the brush head comes off after
brushing, immediately retrieve it and carefully check that it is
not left inside the channel of the endoscope by passing a
new cleaning brush or other endo-therapy accessories. If the
brush head is left in the channel, it can drop into the patient
body during the procedure.
Depending on the staying location, the missing part may not
be recoverable by passing a new brush or other
endo-therapy accessories. In this case, contact Olympus.
Withdraw the Channel Cleaning Brush from the Suction
Channel gently, ensuring its shaft does not rub against the
external opening of the Suction Cylinder, as this may
damage the brush and may wear a groove in the opening,
leading to impaired suction and liquid leakage.
While the endoscope is submerged, brush the Instrument/Suction Channel,
Suction Cylinder and Instrument Channel Port in the following order (see Figure
3.13).
