Chapter 3 Preparation and Inspection
Inspection of the biopsy valve (MD-495)
32
• The biopsy valve (MD-495) is consumable and it should be
inspected before each use. Replace the biopsy valve with a
new one if irregularities and/or excessive wear are detected.
A damaged or deformed biopsy valve (MD-495) can reduce
the efficacy of the endoscope's suction system and may
cause patient debris to leak or spray from the endoscope,
posing an infection-control risk.
• Do not use the biopsy valve (MD-495) with the single use
aspiration needle (NA-201SX-4022). Please use the single
use adapter biopsy valve (MAJ-1414) and refer to the
instruction manual for the single use aspiration needle
(NA-201SX-4022).
This biopsy valve (MD-495) is designed for use with
BF-30/40/60/200/240/260/160 and 180 series endoscopes.
1.
Confirm that the biopsy valve is free from cracks, tears, deformation, or
other irregularities.
