Inspection of the biopsy forceps
Bend the biopsy forceps into a circle with the diameter of 20 cm as the figure 3.4.2 shown; slightly operate
the biopsy forceps, confirm that the distal end of the biopsy forceps can be opened and closed smoothly.
(Figure 3.4.2)
Stop use and replace with a new biopsy forceps when any irregularity observed.
Hold the grip section and slightly insert the biopsy forceps into the instrument channel; confirm that the
instrument channel is unobstructed and the biopsy forceps can smoothly extend from the distal end.
CAUTION
⚫
Keep the suction pressure under 30kpa. Excessive suction pressure prevents the suction valve
from returning to original position.
⚫
Replace the biopsy valve with a new one when the liquids leak from the biopsy valve during
suction. To maintain good performance and prevent cross-infection, the biopsy valve is
recommended to be replaced regularly.
Open
CAUTION
⚫
The size of the biopsy forceps should be compatible with the size of the instrument channel;
using over-sized biopsy forceps may cause damage to the instrument channel.
