Chapter 7 Cleaning, Disinfection, and Sterilization Procedures
• Gently withdraw the channel cleaning brush (BW-15B), the
single use channel cleaning brush (BW-201B), the single use
combination cleaning brush (BW-411B), or the single use
single-ended cleaning brush (BW-400B) from the instrument
channel or suction channel. Make sure that the shaft does
not rub against the external opening of the suction cylinder.
This could damage the brush and/or wear a groove in the
opening, leading to impaired suction and liquid leakage.
• Do not attempt to pass the channel cleaning brush
(BW-15B), the single use channel cleaning brush
(BW-201B), the single use combination cleaning brush
(BW-411B), or the single use single-ended cleaning brush
(BW-400B) from the distal end of the insertion section and/or
suction connector. It may get caught, making retrieval
impossible.
