Instillation of fluids 7b
Fluids can be instilled through the working channel by inserting a syringe into the working
channel port at the top of the endoscope. When using a Luer Lock syringe, use the included
introducer. Insert the syringe completely into the working channel port or the introducer and
press the plunger to instill fluid. Make sure you do not apply suction during this process, as this
will direct the instilled fluids into the suction collection system. To ensure that all fluid has left
the channel, flush the channel with 2 ml of air. It is recommended to remove introducer from
the working channel port when it is not in use.
Aspiration 7c
When a suction system is connected to the suction connector, suction can be applied by
pressing the suction button with the index finger. If the introducer and/or an endoscopic
accessory is placed inside the working channel note that the suction capability will be
reduced. For optimal suction capability it is recommended to remove the introducer or syringe
entirely during suction.
Insertion of endoscopic accessories 7d
Always make sure to select the correct size endoscopic accessory for the endoscope
(See section 2.2). Inspect the endoscopic accessory before using it. If there is any irregularity
in its operation or external appearance, replace it. Insert the endoscopic accessory into the
working channel port and advance it carefully through the working channel until it can be
seen on the displaying unit. The enclosed introducer can be used to facilitate the insertion
of soft accessories such as microbiology brushes.
