Chapter 3 Preparation and Inspection
OSF TYPE V60 OPERATION MANUAL
• If the Biopsy Valve leaks, replace it with a new one. A leaking
Biopsy Valve can reduce the efficacy of the endoscope’s
suction system, and may leak or spray patient debris or
fluids, posing an infection-control risk.
1.
Place the container of sterile water and the endoscope on the same height.
For the inspection, adjust the suction pressure to the same level as it will be
during the procedure.
2.
Immerse the Distal End of the Insertion Tube in sterile water with the
endoscope’s Instrument Channel Port at the same height as the water level
in the water container. Press the Suction Valve and confirm that water is
continuously aspirated into the suction bottle of the Suction Pump.
3.
Release the Suction Valve. Confirm that suction stops and the valve returns
to its original position.
4.
Depress the Suction Valve and aspirate water for one second. Then,
release the Suction Valve for one second. Repeat this several times and
confirm that no water leaks from the Biopsy Valve.
5.
Remove the Distal End of the endoscope from the water. Depress the
Suction Valve and aspirate air for a few seconds to remove any water from
the Instrument Channel.
Inspection of the Instrument Channel
Keep your eyes away from the Distal End when inserting
Endo-Therapy Accessories. Extending the Endo-Therapy
Accessory from the Distal End could cause eye injury.
Insert the Endo-Therapy Accessory through the Biopsy Valve. Confirm that the
Endo-Therapy Accessory extends smoothly from the Distal End.
