3.6 Inspecting the mesh filters
Make sure that the circulation port mesh filters (two types) and the drain port
mesh filter are not clogged.
A clogged mesh filter not only prevents the equipment from functioning properly, but may also cause the endoscopes to
malfunction or prevent effective reprocessing.
• If the mesh filters have been removed, be sure to put them
back in their original positions before using the equipment. If you forget to attach the mesh filters, the pump may
malfunction and/or foreign objects may enter the endoscope
channels including the nozzle and clog them.
• When cleaning the mesh filters, take care not to leave brush hair or cotton swab fiber in the meshes. Otherwise, their
filtering effectiveness may be reduced.
• If a mesh filter is dropped or subjected to an impact, make
sure that the mesh shape is not deformed. Otherwise, the filtering effect may degrade.
• Two-type mesh filters are installed on the outer and inner
sides of the circulation port. Be sure to remove, inspect, and
clean both of them.
