Chapter 3 Inspection Before Use 4. Remove the rubber cap from the detergent inlet of the detergent tank. Detergent inlet Rubber cap Figure 3.5 5. Remove the cap from the EndoRapid 980 ml pack (Olympus-designated detergent) and attach the provided nozzle to it by turning the nozzle all the way in the direction shown in Figure 3.6. Nozzle Detergent pack Figure 3.
Chapter 3 Inspection Before Use 6. • Do not add detergent when the tank is on the detergent/alcohol drawer. If detergent is spilled on the tray, this equipment may be damaged. • Do not push the center of the detergent pack with too much force while adding detergent. Otherwise, the detergent may spill out of the tank. • Do not tilt the detergent tank while there is still detergent inside. Otherwise, the detergent may spill.
Chapter 3 Inspection Before Use 7. Attach the rubber cap to the detergent inlet of the detergent tank and ensure that detergent is not leaking from the detergent tank. 8. Place the detergent tank on the equipment’s detergent/alcohol drawer and connect the connector. Figure 3.8 9. Turn the connector to correct the tube orientation as shown below. Confirm that the tube is not bent. Connector Figure 3.9 10. 42 Close the detergent/alcohol drawer.
Chapter 3 Inspection Before Use 3.5 Inspecting the remaining quantity of alcohol, and replenishment Check how much alcohol is in the alcohol tank and add more as required. Check Required items 70% ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol Table 3.6 • The alcohol used with the equipment should be 70% ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol.
Chapter 3 Inspection Before Use Inspection of the amount of alcohol Check the ALCOHOL indicator on the detergent/alcohol drawer of the equipment to confirm that alcohol is present. If the amount of alcohol has decreased, add alcohol as described in “Addition of alcohol” before the level reaches “MIN.”. Figure 3.10 If alcohol flushing is executed when no alcohol is present, the equipment will stop and display an error code [E93].
Chapter 3 Inspection Before Use Addition of alcohol 1. Hold the section on the detergent/alcohol drawer marked “PULL” and pull it out. Figure 3.11 If the alcohol runs out, the equipment will stop and display an error code [E93]. 2. Push the lock lever on the connector of the tube connected to the cap on the alcohol tank to detach the tube. Lock lever Cap Alcohol tank Figure 3.12 3. Remove the alcohol tank and put it in a sink or other tub.
Chapter 3 Inspection Before Use 4. Turn the cap on the alcohol inlet in the direction shown to remove the cap. Cap Alcohol inlet Figure 3.13 5. • Do not add alcohol while the tank is on the detergent/alcohol drawer. If alcohol is spilled on the tray, it could damage the equipment. • Do not tilt the alcohol tank while there is still alcohol inside. Otherwise, the alcohol may spill. Pour alcohol until it is level with the line inside the alcohol tank. Be careful not to spill any.
Chapter 3 Inspection Before Use 6. Place the alcohol tank in the detergent/alcohol drawer so that the ventilation tube of the alcohol tank sits on the front of the tray. Placing the alcohol tank so that the ventilation tube sits on the deeper side of the tray could damage the alcohol tank. 7. Connect the tube that was originally connected to the cap. Alcohol tank Ventilation tube Figure 3.15 8. Turn the connector to correct the tube orientation as shown below. Confirm that the tube is not bent.
Chapter 3 Inspection Before Use 3.6 Inspecting the mesh filters Make sure that the circulation port mesh filters (two types) and the drain port mesh filter are not clogged. A clogged mesh filter not only prevents the equipment from functioning properly, but may also cause the endoscopes to malfunction or prevent effective reprocessing. • If the mesh filters have been removed, be sure to put them back in their original positions before using the equipment.
Chapter 3 Inspection Before Use 4. If any foreign object is found to be clogging the filter, clean the mesh filter in running water using a brush or cotton swab. Figure 3.18 5. 3.7 Attach the mesh filters in their original positions. Inspecting for disinfectant solution odor Check that the disinfectant solution is not producing an abnormal odor.
