Chapter 2 Instrument Nomenclature and Specifications
• Do not lift the endoscope by the chain for water-resistant cap.
Doing so may result in the fitting part of the chain detaching
from the S-cord connector mount, causing the endoscope to
fall. This could cause operator or patient injury and/or
equipment damage.
• Connect the fitting part only to the S-cord connector mount.
Connecting the fitting part to the suction connector may
impair the connection of the suction tube to the suction
connector. It may also cause the suction tube to become
disconnected from the endoscope and allow patient debris to
spray.
• When attaching the water-resistant cap to the electrical
connector, do not pinch the chain for water-resistant cap
between the electrical connector of the endoscope and the
water-resistant cap. Otherwise, equipment damage may
result.
• The chain for water-resistant cap and the water-resistant cap
itself cannot be ultrasonically cleaned; doing so could
damage them. The water-resistant cap with the chain can
only be ultrasonically cleaned if it is connected to an
endoscope that is being cleaned in an endoscope
reprocessor with an ultrasonic cleaning phase (such as OER,
OER-A, OER-AW).
• The chain for water-resistant cap and the water-resistant cap
itself cannot be ethylene oxide gas sterilized; doing so may
damage them. If the water-resistant cap is connected to the
endoscope by the chain, be sure to remove the chain and the
water-resistant cap from the endoscope before ethylene
oxide gas sterilization.
• The chain for water-resistant cap and the water-resistant cap
itself cannot be steam sterilized (autoclaved); doing so can
damage them severely.
