FLUSHING PUMP OFP-2
35
WARNING
• If high flow rates are required while accessory tools are inserted in the
instrument channel, there is an increased risk of fluid leakage.
Therefore, the user should slow the pump speed to reduce any fluid
loss, or take precautionary measures to ensuring there is no danger to
users, patients or equipment.
• If there is no fluid flow during use, switch off the OFP-2 and
depressurise the system by disconnecting the tube from the MAJ
-
855
auxiliary tube, MAJ-1606 instrument channel adapter or EndoTherapy
device. Otherwise, leakage or spraying of potentially contaminated
fluid may occur, particularly in the event of endoscope or EndoTherapy
device blockage.
• Clinical judgement should be used when filling the intra-abdominal area,
as it is possible to raise the intra-abdominal pressure to a potentially
unsafe level.
• Note that this unit can deliver flow rates through the instrument channel
of the endoscope in excess of that which can be delivered when using a
50ml syringe.
• Before the procedure begins, ensure the water container has been filled
with sterile fluid and the fluid path is primed.
• For EndoTherapy use, ensure that the supply of saline does not run out
during operation of the OFP-2, as harm may be caused to the patient if
air is injected into the submucosal layer.
CAUTION
• When inserting an EndoTherapy instrument or ultrasound probe in the
MAJ-1606 instrument channel adapter, hold the instrument or probe as
close as possible to the distal end and insert it straight it into the
MAJ
-
1606 instrument opening.
• Prior to each use, ensure the tube connections are secure, watertight
and routed to eliminate potential flow restrictions caused by, but not
limited to, tube kinking or accidental tube compression. Keep the tubing
clear of the patient at all times. In the event of entanglement, stop the
procedure and re-route the tubing
• Activation of the pump while the tubing/EndoTherapy accessory is
connected to the OFP-2 but not inserted into an endoscope may result
in potentially contaminated fluid being pumped from the end of the
system and coming into contact with the floor, electrical equipment and
people in the area
NOTE
• When the footswitch is pressed continuously, the pump will operate
continuously to a maximum of 20 seconds. Upon footswitch release, the
pump will stop.
