Fujinon gastrointestinal endoscopes. The BioShield
maintain insufflation, minimizes leakage of biomaterial from the biposy port thought the endoscopic procedure and provides access for
irrigation.
®
The single use Torrent irrigation scope connector is used in conjunction with the Torrent
to accommodate various endoscopes and irrigation pumps) and are intended to provide irrigation via irrigation fluids such as sterile
water supplied during gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures when used in conjunction with an irrigation pump (or electrosurgical unit).
Warnings and Precautions
These devices are intended to be used with Olympus
balloon channel**
(Follow the Olympus guidelines for air/water/suction use in the Olympus endoscopes)

US Endoscopy did not design these devices to be reprocessed or reused, and therefore cannot verify that reprocessing can clean
and/or sterilize or maintain the structural integrity of these devices to ensure patient and/or user safety.

These disposable medical devices are not intended for reuse. Any institution, practitioner, or third party, who reprocesses,
refurbishes, remanufactures, resterilizes, and or reuses these disposable medical devices must bear full responsibility for their
safety and effectiveness.

Endoscopic procedures should only be performed by persons having adequate training and familiarity with endoscopic techniques.

Consult the medical literature relative to techniques, contraindications, complications and hazards prior to any endoscopic
procedure.

When handling these devices use appropriate aseptic technique.
BioGuard™ air/water & suction valves:

Make sure the holes in the air/water and suction valves are not clogged or blocked. (This could cause continuous air/CO
or inadequate suction.)
®
BioShield biopsy valve:

Do not use a sharp or pointed object to prime the valve prior to use.

Do not leave a device hanging from the valve. Doing so can cause the creation of a larger valve slit/hole that may cause
leakage.

If the lid of the valve is opened while attached to the endoscope during a procedure, scope suction will be compromised and
leakage may occur.

If leakage occurs, a sterile gauze should be used to cover the valve.
®
Torrent irrigation scope connector:

Never attach or reattach the Torrent
been reprocessed.

Exposure to bodily fluids may occur during the connection or disconnection of this device. The User is responsible for adhering
to Body Substance Isolation protocols.

Do not insert this device into the patient. The device should be attached to the auxiliary water port of a flexible gastrointestinal
endoscope and an irrigation source. Use proper techniques to avoid risk of aspiration of a patient.

Always prime the auxiliary water channel or biopsy channel prior to inserting the endoscope into the patient.

The Torrent irrigation scope connector is intended to be used only with the Torrent
00711562 / 00711563). The Torrent irrigation scope connector is not intended to be used with nor has it been tested with any
other tubing.
Contraindications: Contraindications include those specific to any endoscopic procedure.
