Inspection of reusable equipment
88
For inspection of other equipment than that mentioned below, refer to the
instruction manual for the equipment being used.
All equipment mentioned below is consumable. Should any
irregularity be observed, use a spare instead. Using defective
equipment may make it difficult to effectively reprocess the
endoscope, and could cause endoscope and/or equipment
damage.
Do not immerse the water-resistant cap alone in water.
Moisture remaining on the inner side of the cap may
penetrate the electrical connector and cause equipment
damage.
 Inspection of the water-resistant caps (MH-553)
1.
Confirm that the inside of the water-resistant caps is dry and free from
debris (see Figure 7.2 on page 84). Wipe with a dry cloth when the inside of
the water-resistant cap is wet or debris is detected.
2.
Confirm that the seal inside the water-resistant cap is free from scratches,
flaws, and debris.
3.
Check the venting connector for looseness.
 Inspection of the suction cleaning adapter (MAJ-222)
Check for cracks, scratches, flaws, debris, and other damage (see Figure 7.3 on
page 84).
 Inspection of the channel cleaning brush (BW-15B, BW-7B)
The cleaning brushes are consumable items. Should any
irregularity be observed, discard it and use a new one. Using
a defective brush may cause equipment damage.
1.
Confirm that the bristles and the metal tip of the distal end are securely in
place. Check for loose or missing bristles (see Figures 7.4 and 7.6 on
page 86).
2.
Check for bends, scratches and other damage to the shaft.
3.
Check for debris on the shaft and/or in the bristles of the brush.
