Chapter 3 Preparation and Inspection
Inspection of the auxiliary water feeding function
Use sterile water only. Using non-sterile water may cause
patient cross-contamination and infection.
1. Attach a syringe containing sterile water or the water tube from a water
pump to the luer port of the auxiliary water tube (see Figure 3.19). Feed
water and confirm that water is emitted from the auxiliary water channel at
the distal end of the insertion tube.
2. Make sure that no water leaks at the connection between the connecting
end of the auxiliary water tube and the auxiliary water inlet.
3. Make sure that no water leaks at the connection between the luer port of the
auxiliary water tube and the syringe or the water tube.
4. Disconnect the water tube from the water pump or the syringe from the luer
port of the auxiliary water tube. Make sure that no water leaks at the luer
port of the auxiliary water tube and/or the distal end of the insertion tube.
• If the auxiliary water channel is used for feeding water, never
disconnect the auxiliary water tube during 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
surrounding equipment. This could cause damage and/or
malfunction of the equipment.
• Note that the luer port on the MAJ-855 includes a one-way
valve to prevent backflow – do not use the MAJ-855 without
this connector in place, otherwise backflow of contaminated
material may occur and equipment damage or patient injury
may result.
