NSTRUCTIONS FOR SE
For Use with Air
1. Prior to clinical use, inspect and familiarize yourself with the device and review the diagram below. If there is evidence of damage,
do not use this product and contact your local Product Specialist.
2. Both Pinch Clamps should be in the open position when removed from the package.
3. Open a bottle of sterile water and remove cap. (250cc, 500cc, or 1000cc).
4. Remove 1/3 of the sterile water from the full sterile water bottle. This will allow for improved water pressure for better insufflation
and water flow.
5. Open the sterile pouch and remove the AquaShield
contamination.
6. Insert the Water Bottle Tubing into the sterile water bottle and firmly tighten the threaded Lid Cap to ensure a seal.
7. Attach the Endoscope Connector to the endoscope.
8. Leave the Blue Pinch Clamp on the Endoscope Tubing in the open position.
9. Close the White Pinch Clamp on the CO
CO2 source/insufflator.
10. Turn on the light source of the processor and press the Air/Pump button to the ON position.
11. Prime the air/water channel prior to insertion of the endoscope into a patient. If water pressure is low, check to see that the
Lid Cap is tightly closed. Check that the Endoscope Connector is firmly attached to the endoscope.
12. Perform air insufflation and water flow for lens cleaning as described in the Olympus instruction manuals for air/water valve and
endoscope being used together with a sterile water bottle.
13. If the water bottle needs to be replaced, use proper aseptic technique.
After Procedure is completed
 Follow the Olympus manufacturer's guidelines for purging the air/water channel system when the procedure is completed.
 Close the Blue Pinch Clamp on the Endoscope Tubing and disconnect the Endoscope Connector from the endoscope.
This will prevent water from leaking from the Endoscope Connector.
 Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for turning off the light source and the Air/Pump of the processor.
 When procedures are completed for the day, close the White Pinch Clamp and disconnect the CO
Connection from the insufflator.
 Ensure that the device is discarded within 24 hours after the package has been opened. A label is provided with the device.
