HIGH FLOW INSUFFLATION UNIT UHI-3

tube
• To prevent cross-contamination from the backflow of body
fluids (e.g. blood) when the relief mode is activated, it is
necessary to use a disposable filter. The type of filter is PALL
OR01H (0.2 μm, hydrophobic) or equivalent filters; contact
Olympus for further details. Even if the relief mode is not
activated, Olympus highly recommends the use of a
disposable filter.
• Tubes and connectors (MAJ-590/591, MH-397) are supplied
non-sterile. Always sterilize before the first and each
subsequent use.
• Before removing the filter from the package, inspect the
package for damage. If the package has been previously
opened or torn, or if the end caps are loose, do not use the
filter. Remove the filter from its package and examine for
damage. If any damage or irregularity is found, do not use
the filter.
• The external surfaces of the filter are not sterile. This filter
should be handled by non-sterile personnel only (e.g.
circulating nurse).
The filter is a single-use device. Do not reuse. Insert a new
filter before each use.
Disposable filter and disposable tube sets are optional items
which must be purchased separately. Please contact
Olympus for details.
