3.8.2 Endoscope With Biopsy/
Suction System
See Figures 3-9 and 3-10.
Channeled flexible endoscopes have at a minimum a suction/biopsy
channel. The suction/biopsy channel may be accessed at three
ports: the suction barb (which may be on the control handle or the
light guide); the suction valve port (which is located on the control
body); and the biopsy port (which is located on the control body).
The suction/biopsy channel exits at the distal tip.
