4.4 Transportation of the endoscope
Transporting within the hospital

endoscope connector together with the control section in one hand and hold the
distal end of the insertion tube securely, but gently without squeezing, in the
other hand (see Figure 4.6).
Figure 4.6
Transporting outside the hospital
Transport the endoscope in the carrying case.
Always clean, disinfect or sterilize the endoscope after
removing it from the carrying case. If the endoscope is not
cleaned, disinfected or sterilized, the patient might be
infected.
• The carrying case cannot be cleaned, disinfected or
sterilized. Clean and disinfect or sterilize the endoscope
before placing it in the carrying case.
• Do not attach the water-resistant cap when transporting the
endoscope, to avoid damage to the endoscope caused by
changes in air pressure.
• When putting the endoscope in the carrying case, do not
touch the forceps elevator or the elevator wire at the distal
end with your hand. This could result in damage.
