• When placing the distal cover in the sterile packing, do not
place it together with other cleaning equipment, accessories,
etc. The distal cover could be deformed and may become
difficult to attach, or the risk of the distal cover falling off
during the examination will increase.
• When steam sterilizing the distal cover, do not place other
objects on top of the distal cover. The distal cover could be
deformed and may become difficult to attach, or the risk of
the distal cover falling off during the examination will
increase.
