Pentax EC-380LKp User Manual

- 29 -
A variety of special brushes have been provided to mechan-
ically brush clean the entire suction/instrument channels
and tubes. Whenever possible, the entire endoscope should
be immersed in detergent solution during the remainder of
the cleaning procedure.
Brush clean the entire instrument/suction channel system:
a) Using the cleaning brush provided, insert the brush
into the opening of the suction nipple and gently pass
the brush until it appears in the suction control valve
receptacle. This will clean the suction tube within the
light guide/umbilical cable.
Then gently withdraw the brush. Repeat at least 3 times
until it is visibly clean.
b) Next, insert the brush into the opening at the bottom of
the suction control valve receptacle (cylinder) on the
control head and gently advance until resistance is felt.
DO NOT USE EXCESS FORCE.
Then gently withdraw the brush. Repeat at least 3 times
until it is visibly clean.
c) Insert the brush into the instrument channel inlet and
gently advance the brush until it exits the distal end of
the scope. Clean debris off the brush and then gently
withdraw the brush.
Repeat several times ensuring that only a clean brush is
introduced into the channel each time.
d) Using the large bristle of the specially designed clean-
ing brush (CS-C5S), scrub clean the surfaces inside the
suction control valve receptacle on the control head.
Do not insert the brush excessively.
e) Scrub all internal and external surfaces of the suction
valve OF-B120 using the smaller side of the cleaning
brush (CS-C5S).

NOTE:
Be sure to inspect the bottom of the suction control
valve receptacle on the control head for any
debris.
CAUTION:
A worn or damaged valve and/or O-ring should be replaced with a new one. The entire valve mechanism
should be subjected to a high-level disinfection or sterilization procedure prior to use (O-ring set, model
OF-B127, is optionally available). Failure to do so could result in continuous aspiration which in certain
clinical situations can suction tissue into the distal channel opening at the scope tip and/or create a loss
of insufflated air via the suction system.
A compromised valve could also result in the potential for reflux or spit-back of patient fluids that may
present infection control risks.
NOTE:
Brushing of all internal channels is not a substitute for exposure to an appropriate cleaning solution. Man-
ual cleaning by brush complements and augments the cleaning effectiveness of chemical cleaning (i.e.
enzymatic detergent).
