Inspection of the instrument channel
1.
Insert the EndoTherapy accessory through the biopsy valve. Confirm that
the EndoTherapy accessory extends smoothly from the distal end. Make
sure that no foreign objects come out of the distal end.
2.
Confirm that the EndoTherapy accessory can be withdrawn smoothly from
the biopsy valve.
Inspection of the water feeding function
1.
Insert a syringe filled with sterile water into the biopsy valve and depress the
plunger.
2.
Confirm that water is discharged from the distal end of the endoscope.
ULTRASONIC BRONCHOFIBERVIDEOSCOPE BF-UC180F
Keep your eyes away from the distal end when inserting
EndoTherapy accessories. Extending the EndoTherapy
accessory from the distal end while looking into it could
cause eye injury.
• For proper operation, the syringe must be inserted fully and
held perpendicular to the biopsy valve. Angled or incomplete
insertion may result in fluid leakage from the biopsy valve.
• Do not press the suction valve during water feeding. If the
suction valve is pressed during water feeding, water will be
aspirated into the suction tube instead of being discharged
from the endoscope's distal end.
• If fluid is not discharged from the endoscope's distal end,
flush air through the channel.
