to the operating instructions supplied with all the

the right order in which each component should be
turned off in due course
Disconnect the endoscope and water bottle.

Always turn off the processor BEFORE disconnecting the
endoscope.

Water bottle cleaning

NOTE
Take care in handling the water bottle. DO NOT carry the
water bottle by the Air/Water Connector or Air/Water
hose. When the cap assembly has been separated from
the bottle, be careful in handling the water feeding stem.
Water bottles should be sterilized at least on a daily basis.
Like all endoscopic accessories, the water bottle assembly must be
thoroughly cleaned. Failure to do so could result in incomplete or
ineffective sterilization.

Cleaning

1. After use, the entire water bottle assembly (bottle, cap
assembly and tubing) should be washed with clean water and
moistened gauze or scrubbing brush. Enzymatic detergent
solution should be used for soiled items.
Detergent may be applied to internal surfaces of the water
bottle by injecting the detergent into the air pipe stem (opposite
the A/W-Drain lever on the water bottle cap) using a syringe.
The A/W-Drain lever should be in the A/W position to ensure
contact with all internal tubes.
