Chapter 5 How to Use
5.2.6 Operating Suction Valve
WARNING
• Set the suction pressure between 40 and 53 kPa. If the suction pressure is too high,
patient debris or fluids may leak or splash from the forceps valve, posing infection control
risks to patient or operator.
• Do not quickly release one’s finger from the suction valve during aspiration. Doing so may
cause a splattering of body fluids from the suction valve and increase a risk of infection.
• The lid of the forceps valve must be closed when using the endoscope. Not doing so may
cause leak of body fluids and increase a risk of infection.
• Avoid aspirating solid materials or thick fluids. If the suction valve does not return to its
original position, stop aspiration immediately and slowly withdraw the endoscope. If any
solid materials or thick fluids adhere to or clog the suction valve, suction may not stop,
causing damage to mucous membrane.
CAUTION
• Set the suction pressure between 40 and 53 kPa. If the suction pressure is too high,
the endoscope may adhere to mucous membrane, resulting in damage to the mucous
membrane.
• The lid of the forceps valve must be closed when using the endoscope. Not doing so can
reduce the efficacy of the endoscope’s suction system, making it impossible to perform
aspiration.
