It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use (IFU) for each flexible endoscope. The Flexi-
Pump system replaces the syringe flushing method in the pre-cleaning sections of these IFU.*
OPERATION
Connecting flexible endoscopes to the FlexiPump
Independent Flushing System
The injector tube (or suction channel tube in this example) is
used to inject reprocessing fluids into the instrument channel,
suction channel, and air/water channels of the endoscope. It is
also used to flush air through these channels to expel fluids.
Follow the device manufacturer’s IFU to attach the injector
tube to the scope.
9
Attach the FlexiPump tube set luer locks to the suction channel port and
air/water port of the injector tube. Directions may vary depending on the
scope and the manufacturer.
Cap off all unused tubes on the FlexiPump Tube Set. If there are two
channels on the endoscope, place a FlexiPump end cap on the end of
the third FlexiPump tube lead. If you are flushing only one channel or lu-
men, cap off the other two FlexiPump tube leads with luer end caps.
Select the appropriate flush function and speed (page 9) and flush the
device.
IMPORTANT
Most endoscope manufacturers specify how much cleaning solution to flush through the device.
Follow IFU’s to prepare the cleaning solution. Carefully monitor all device exit points for flushing
cleaning solution to ensure copious flushing.
Be sure to rinse devices per manufacturer’s IFU.
To eject solutions from a scope, remove the drop-down tube from the reprocessing fluid container.
Allow pump to run. This will inject air into the scope and purge fluid from the device. Then continue
to the next reprocessing step.
