the endoscope, and contact your local PENTAX service facility or sales
representative.
• Prior to disinfection, detach the ventilation cap (OF-C5). Failure to do so
can result in damage to the endoscope. If the endoscope is disinfected
with the ventilation cap attached, do not use the endoscope, and contact
your local PENTAX service facility or sales representative.
