1-2-3-4. Brushing of the suction channel
WARNING
• Do not use cleaning brushes other than those that are specied in this
instructions for use. Failure to do so could result in endoscope damage
or incomplete or ineffective cleaning.
• Prior to use, ensure that cleaning brushes are not damaged (e.g., kinked
shaft or bent or missing bristles).
• In order to prevent the dispersal of patient debris that might still be in
the endoscope channel into the environment, always withdraw brushes
slowly.
CAUTION
• In order to avoid damage to the endoscope, never attempt to insert a
cleaning brush into the endoscope distal tip.
• Never apply excessive pressure to introduce or withdraw the brush. This
can result in damage to the endoscope and/or the brush.
Always fully immerse the endoscope during brushing.
