Intended Use:
Based on the product number, the cleaning brush(es) are used for endoscope accessory/suction channel, auxiliary water channel, balloon
inflation channel (EUS endoscope) or control head cleaning. The intended use of these cleaning brushes is as follows:
The channel cleaning brush is a nylon Flexi Brush™ attached to a flexible plastic sheath designed to safely remove debris from flexible
endoscopes.
The control head cleaning brush is used to safely remove debris from the valve openings and dials of the control head of flexible
endoscopes.
The Small Wonder® - cleaning brush is designed to safely remove debris from 1.0mm and larger channels, such as the auxiliary water
channel of some flexible endoscopes, the balloon inflation channel (EUS endoscopes), or flexible bronchoscope accessory channels.
Warnings and Precautions:
The cleaning brush should never be used as a cytology brush.
Original Equipment Manufacturer’s guidelines regarding the care and cleaning of individual endoscope channels must be reviewed prior to
the use of any cleaning brush.
Dispose of the cleaning brush after initial use. The mechanical attachment of the brush(es) to the plastic sheath cannot be guaranteed to be
reliable or secure following initial use.
If sharp bends in the plastic sheath or wire cable are observed during insertion of the brush, the brush should be disposed of to avoid
causing damage to the endoscope’s operating channels.
Never transfer a used cleaning brush from one endoscope to another endoscope, since cross-contamination could occur and result in
patient complications. Disposable cleaning brushes are designed to safely remove debris, some of which can be retained in the bristle
structure.
Do not attempt to reuse, reprocess, refurbish, remanufacture, or resterilize this device. STERIS Endoscopy did not design this device nor is
it intended to be reused, reprocessed, refurbished, remanufactured, or resterilized. Performing such activities on this disposable medical
device presents a safety risk to patients (i.e. compromised device integrity, cross-contamination, infection).
Contraindications:
o If the channel(s) are known to be occluded or resistance is met in attempting to pass the brush through the endoscope, do not force the
cleaning brush through the endoscope, as this may result in damage to the channel.
o Do not use a specific cleaning brush in a specific channel if use is not recommended by the endoscope’s Original Equipment Manufacturer.
Directions for use:
1. Channel cleaning brush:
a. Using the cleaning media of choice, advance the cleaning brush through the entire length of the endoscope before reversing
direction. Reversing direction inside the endoscope could cause the brush to expand, which could potentially damage the
endoscope.
b. Using the cleaning media of choice, pass the channel cleaning brush through the valve stem openings.
2. Control head cleaning brush:
a. Remove valve(s) from the control head of the endoscope. Using the cleaning media of choice, use the brush to gently cleanse the
valve openings. Avoid twisting or torquing the brush handle. The brush handle will prevent the brush from being pushed too deeply
into the valve openings.
b. Using the cleaning media of choice, clean control head and control head dials.
Product Disposal:
After use, this product may be a potential biohazard which presents a risk of cross-contamination. Handle and dispose of in
accordance with accepted medical practice and applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations.
