Equipment Required - PRIMED DART 9192 Instructions For Use Manual

 Never use excessive force when introducing or withdrawing the brush. If a
brush encounters significant resistance or blockage in the endoscope
channel, do not force it through the endoscope. Use of excessive force
may damage the brush and/or the endoscope channel.
 Do not rotate, twist or torque the brush while it is inside the channel. Doing
so may damage the brush and/or the equipment being cleaned.
 Do not use damaged brushes. Always inspect brush for damage before
use. See Figures 2 -7. Damaged brush may not adequately clean the
endoscope channel, which may cause patient infection.
 Perform cleaning and disinfection with both the brush and the endoscope
completely submerged in the detergent solution to prevent spattering.
 Do not put your face too close to the channel opening and do not withdraw
the brush too quickly from the channel. Doing so may cause operator'
infection or irritation from the splashes of patient blood/mucus and
detergent solution.
 Withdraw the brush straight from the channel opening. Do not rub brush
shaft, stem or bristle against the channel opening. Doing so may damage
the brush or equipment being cleaned.
 Never transfer a contaminated brush between endoscopes; cross-
contamination may occur resulting in patient infection.
WARNINGS
 Patient debris and reprocessing chemicals are hazardous. Before
reprocessing endoscope always wear personal protective equipment such
as eyewear, face mask, moisture-resistant clothing, and chemical-
resistant glove that fit properly and are long enough to cover exposed
skin.
 After using, carefully check that no parts of the brush have fallen off. Any
part of the brush remaining in the channel after cleaning can drop into
patient's body during a subsequent procedure. Detached part can be
retrieved from inside the endoscope channel by passing a new brush or
other endoscope accessory through the channel.
REUSE WARNINGS
®
DART brush is for SINGLE USE ONLY. Do not clean, disinfect or sterilize
the brush prior to use. Doing so may damage the brush and/or the
equipment being cleaned and/or impair its cleaning ability, which may cause
infection to the patient.
STORAGE
Store cleaning brushes in original packaging at room temperature in a dry
clean location away from direct sunlight.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

1. Preparation, Inspection and Use: Endoscope & channel cleaning brush.
2. Cleaning: Ultrasonic cleaner, container, enzymatic detergent, high level
disinfectant, cleaning brush, sponge & lint-free cloth.
PREPARATION
1. Before brushing, follow instruction manual provided by the endoscope
manufacturer regarding endoscope preparation, inspection and
cleaning.
INSPECTION
1. Remove the brush from the package and carefully unwind the shaft.
Only open bag containing the brush immediately before use.
2. Inspect the brush before use for damages depicted on Figures 2-7. This
inspection is the responsibility of the user. Worn out bristles are
ineffective in cleaning, and damaged brushes may damage the
endoscope.
3. If damage is observed, discard and replace with new brush. Do not
repair a damaged brush. Use of repaired brush may damage the
endoscope.
4. Inspect the brush after use for any detached part as depicted in Figure

retrieved and properly discarded (see "DISPOSAL" instruction).
