Chapter 3 Preparation and Inspection
5. Using both hands, bend the insertion tube of the endoscope into a
semicircle. Then, moving your hands as shown by the arrows, confirm that
the entire insertion tube can be smoothly bent to form a semicircle and that
the insertion tube is enough pliable (see Figure 3.3). Follow the above
checks on both the softest and stuffiest conditions when the endoscope has
the flexibility adjustment mechanism.

6. Gently hold the midpoint of the second bending section and a point 20 cm
from the distal end. Push and pull gently to confirm that the border between
the second bending section and the insertion tube is not loose. And also,
gently hold the midpoint of the first bending section and the midpoint of the
second bending section. Push and pull gently to confirm that the border
between the first bending section and the second bending section is not
loose.
7. Inspect the objective lens and light guide lens at the distal end of the
endoscope’s insertion tube for scratching, cracks, stains, gaps around the
lens or other irregularities.
8. Inspect the air/water nozzle at the distal end of the endoscope’s insertion
tube for abnormal swelling, bulges, dents or other irregularities.
