MAJ-222 Adapter for Cleaning Olympus Video Bronchoscopes: an Essential Step in Hospital Hygiene Protocols
The Olympus MAJ-222 cleaning adapter is an accessory specifically designed for the internal cleaning of BF-180 series video bronchoscopes. Its main role is to ensure the controlled aspiration of cleaning solutions through the operator and aspiration channels of the endoscope, enabling thorough cleaning and effective disinfection of these internal pathways, which are often difficult to reach.
By connecting the MAJ-222 to the operator channel port and then to a suction pump, the user can circulate a detergent solution precisely from the distal end to the outlet of the device. The adapter includes a suction port, a sealing cap for the suction cage and a shutter, which ensure its correct positioning and effectiveness throughout the process. It is designed to fit perfectly with the morphology of Olympus endoscopes, thus avoiding any risk of leakage or overpressure during suction.
This device is an integral part of the manual cleaning steps detailed in the Olympus protocol, particularly for the detergent solution injection, clean water rinsing and channel drying phases. The MAJ-222 thus ensures a constant and uniform cleaning flow, which is essential for the complete removal of organic residues and potential pathogens.
It is simple and intuitive to use, provided that the manufacturer's specific instructions are followed, particularly with regard to attachment, immersion and maximum pressure. It is also recommended that it be checked regularly for cracks, scratches or deformation that could compromise its effectiveness. In the event of visible contamination, ultrasonic cleaning is possible, further extending its service life.
When used in accordance with Olympus recommendations, the MAJ-222 adapter is an essential tool for any biomedical team committed to meeting strict hospital safety and hygiene standards.
