10. Determine if endoscope requires an insertion tube sleeve as
follows (see Figures 4-4 and 4-5):
NOTE: Insertion tube should fit easily with no force applied.
• Locate three diameter template slots in front of endoscope
processing support.
• Place portion of insertion tube closest to bending rubber into
smaller of template slots. If insertion tube fits in this slot, use
insertion tube sleeve labeled with a RE
D dot.
• If insertion tube does not fit into this slot, go to next template slot.
• If insertion tube fits into next template slot, use insertion tube
sleeve labeled with a BLUE dot.
• If insertion tube does not fit into this slot, go to next template slot.
• If insertion tube fits in this larger slot, use insertion tube
sleeve NOT labeled with a color dot (split insertion tube
sleeve).
NOTE: Some endoscopes have a distal tip that is larger than
the insertion tube diameter. These endoscopes will fit into a
template slot but the distal tips will not fit into the designated
insertion tube sleeve. Use the split insertion tube sleeve
(NO
T labeled with a color dot) to process these endoscopes.
• If insertion tube does not fit into any template slot, endoscope
does not need an insertion tube sleeve.
