• When aspirating, maintain the suction pressure at the lowest
level necessary to perform the procedure. Excessive suction
pressure could cause aspiration of and/or injury to the
mucous membrane. In addition, patient fluids could leak or
spray from the biopsy valve, posing an infection-control risk.
• When aspirating, attach the cap to the main body of the
biopsy valve. The uncapped 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.
During the procedure, take notice that the suction bottle does
not fill completely. Aspirating fluids into a full bottle may
cause the suction pump to malfunction.
Depress the suction valve to aspirate excess fluid or other debris obscuring the
endoscopic image (see Figure 4.4).
Performing both air feeding and suction at the same time
sometimes makes it easier to remove water droplets from the
objective lens surface.
Auxiliary water feeding (for endoscopes with auxiliary
water feeding only)
Use sterile water only. Using non-sterile water may cause
patient cross-contamination and infection.
• Never disconnect the auxiliary water tube from the auxiliary
water inlet during an examination; leave it attached until the
endoscope is precleaned. If the auxiliary water tube is
detached before precleaning, water remaining in the auxiliary
water channel may be spilled on the equipment. This could
cause damage and/or malfunction of the equipment.
• When the auxiliary water tube is not connected to the
auxiliary water inlet, be sure to have the auxiliary water inlet
cap attached to the auxiliary water inlet. Otherwise, patient
debris etc. that back flowed may drip out of the auxiliary
water inlet.
1.
Attach a syringe containing sterile water or the water tube from a water
pump to the luer port of the auxiliary water tube. Feed water.
