• The channel cleaning brush (BW-15B) is a consumable. The
single use channel cleaning brush (BW-201B) and the single
use combination cleaning brush (BW-411B) are single-use
items. Repeated use may cause the brush head to become
bent or kinked, which could cause it to come off during use.
Confirm that the channel cleaning brush (BW-15B), the
single use channel cleaning brush (BW-201B), or the single
use combination cleaning brush (BW-411B) is free from any
damage or other irregularities before and after use. If a part
of the brush comes off inside the endoscope, immediately
retrieve it and carefully confirm that no parts remain inside
the channel of the endoscope by passing a new cleaning
brush or other EndoTherapy accessory through the channel.
Any parts left in the channel can drop into the patient during
the procedure.
Depending on the location, the missing part may not be
recoverable by passing a new brush or other EndoTherapy
accessory through the channel. In this case, contact
Olympus.
• When using the single use channel cleaning brush
(BW-201B), withdraw the instrument straight from the suction
channel and do not rub its shaft against the external opening
of the suction cylinder as this may damage the brush and
could let bristles remain in the shaft.
• Clean only one endoscope and/or accessory with a single
use channel cleaning brush (BW-201B), a single use
channel-opening cleaning brush (MAJ-1339), a single use
combination cleaning brush (BW-411B), a single use
single-ended cleaning brush (BW-400B) and dispose of the
brushes immediately after use. Using a single use channel
cleaning brush (BW-201B), a single use channel-opening
cleaning brush (MAJ-1339), a single use combination
cleaning brush (BW-411B), a single use single-ended
cleaning brush (BW-400B) on more than one endoscope
and/or accessories may make it difficult to effectively
reprocess the endoscope and/or accessories, and could
cause endoscope, accessory, and/or equipment damage.
