4.
Plug the water warmer cable into the receptacle marked "water warmer" on the back of the unit.
5.
Place the ENDO STRATUS® irrigation pump on a flat surface such as an endoscope accessory cart or other
suitable working surface.
6.
Before connecting the power cord to the hospital grade wall receptacle, make sure the power is off to the device,
and no accessories are connected.
7.
Connect the power cord to the back of the device.
Pre-Procedure setup
1.
Place the foot pedal on the floor and insert the foot pedal cord into the designated front panel receptacle.
2.
Insert a water bottle containing sterile water into the water bottle holder
CAUTION:
Use of irrigation fluid other than sterile water can pose an infection risk to patients.
Adjust the hold-down bracket by loosening the knob, lowering the bracket until it contacts the top of the bottle
and then tightening the adjusting screw. After initial setup, if the same size and type of bottle is used, it should
require no further adjustment.
3.
Open a sterile pouch of the 100130 ENDOGATOR® irrigation tubing or 100609 ENDOGATOR® hybrid tubing. Read
and follow its instructions for use.
CAUTION:
The ENDO STRATUS irrigation pump EGA-500 and EGA-500E is intended to be used only with
specific models of compatible tubing sets, connectors and accessories identified in the table in
Section V or officially recommended by MEDIVATORS. Use of the device with accessories not
identified in the accessories table or officially recommended by MEDIVATORS may result in
incompatibility and/or the risk of cross contamination and infection transmission.
4.
Connect the tubing to the water bottle.
5.
Open the pump head and place the tubing into the pump head rollers so that the water flow will be from right to
left facing the pump.
NOTE:
The device is equipped with a safety feature so that the pump will not operate if the pump head is open.
6.
Turn the flow rate indicator to its lowest speed and turn the unit on.
7.
Perform the following procedure to ensure the tubing is fully filled with sterile water each time before connecting
to a GI endoscope:
A. Direct the end of the tube into a receptacle capable of catching expelled water.
B. Depress the foot switch and turn up the flow rate adjustment to the desired level based on the
irrigation connection to the GI endoscope.
PRIME FUNCTION: The prime function allows the user to perform this feature with the assistance of an automatic
timer in lieu of pressing the foot pedal. Pressing the prime button will run the pump for a period of 20 seconds. If at
any time the prime cycle needs to be stopped the button can be pressed again, or the foot pedal can be pressed.
The prime function is not intended to be a definite means of fully priming the tubing. It is the
responsibility of the end user to ensure the tubing and GI endoscope channel are fully filled with
water before proceeding.
8.
When priming is complete, attach the irrigation tube set to the GI endoscope using the proper adapter for the
endoscope model and endoscope channel. (See Section V for a complete list of irrigation tubing and
adaptors for various GI endoscopes.)
9.
The ENDO STRATUS irrigation pump is now ready to use.
CAUTION:
NEVER allow the sterile water bottle to empty completely to avoid air entering the
irrigation tubing.
