MH-948: Targeted cleaning for maximum safety
The Olympus MH-948 air/water channel cleaning adapter is an essential accessory in the reprocessing protocol for EVIS EXERA II endoscopes, including the TJF-Q180V model. Designed for use exclusively during cleaning, this adapter plays a crucial role in removing impurities and biological residues from the air/water channels of the endoscope.
The MH-948 stands out for its ability to inject water into the endoscope's air/water nozzle when its button is activated, while allowing continuous air insufflation when the button is released. This dual function ensures thorough cleaning of the channels, while avoiding the risk of cross-contamination or equipment malfunction.
It is imperative to note that the MH-948 must never be used on a patient, as continuous insufflation of air could cause injury. Its use is strictly reserved for cleaning procedures, in accordance with the recommendations of the Olympus cleaning guide.
The MH-948 is compatible with Olympus wash bottles and fits seamlessly into manual or automated cleaning protocols (LDE). It is also designed to withstand the chemicals used in detergent and disinfectant solutions, while ensuring reliable sealing thanks to its internal seals.
Before each use, a visual inspection is recommended to check for cracks, scratches or alterations. Although the MH-948 does not require sterilisation before its first use, it must be cleaned and disinfected after each cycle to ensure the safety of staff and patients.
The MH-948 adapter embodies Olympus' commitment to quality, safety and performance in the field of medical endoscopy. It is part of a comprehensive range of accessories designed to extend the life of endoscopes while meeting the most stringent standards for infection prevention.
