patient to patient. Attach the leak tester, submerge in clear water and
contort the angulation-control knobs to see if pressure drops. Look
out for bubbles that emit from leaks in the tubing.
Submerge the scope in cleaning solution. Again, this solution
must be diluted to manufacturer recommendations. While the
scope is submerged, wipe it down using a clean, lint-free cloth.
Thoroughly brush all channels of the scope. Use a manufacturer-
approved brush while the scope is submerged in the cleaning
solution. Ensure that the brushing is completed from proximal to dis-
tal tip.
Brush the valve cylinders clean. As with prior steps, the manufac-
turer's recommendation is crucial to ensuring you have a proper,
clean brush.
Submerge the scope in clean rinse water. Using the cleaning
adaptor, flush the scope to the manufacturer's recommendation.
