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.
• 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.
