Inspection of the single-use suction valve (MAJ-209)
28
Clean and disinfect or sterilize the suction valve (MAJ-207) and biopsy valve
(MD-495) as described in Chapter 7, "Cleaning, Disinfection, and Sterilization
Procedures".
• The single-use suction valve (MAJ-209) is provided in a
sterile condition. Do not open the package until you are ready
to use it.
• Do not use an instrument after the expiration date displayed
on the sterile package. Doing so may pose an
infection-control risk.
• Do not attempt to reuse or sterilize the single-use suction
valve (MAJ-209). Doing so could pose an infection-control
risk or cause equipment damage.
This single-use suction valve (MAJ-209) is designed for use
with BF-30/40/60/200/240/260/160 and 180 series
endoscopes.
1.
Inspect the sterile package for tears, inadequate seals, or water damage. If
the sterile package shows any irregularity, the sterile condition of the
instrument may have been compromised. Use a spare instead.
2.
Confirm that the button can be pushed without excessive resistance.
3.
Inspect the suction valve for cracks or other damage (see Figure 3.4).
