3. Infuse sterile water into the instrument channel and check to ensure that it flows from the instrument
channel opening on the distal tip of the endoscope. Ensure that the effluent is free of foreign materials.
4. Remove the syringe from the inlet seal (OF- B190).
5. Fill the syringe with air and insert it into the inlet seal.
6. Flush the sterile water remaining inside the channel by pressing the syringe.
