Routine check up and cleaning must be done in order to maintain the performance and functionality of the endoscopes. Remember that these devices are used to examine, diagnose, and perform minor surgeries and therefore must be in top shape at all costs. Also, these machines are quite expensive. Users and operators must know at least the basics of maintenance care, and know when to call for professional repair services.
Before and after every procedure, it must become a routine to check the parts. Check for dents and ridges, and if you find one, do careful assessment and determine whether it could potentially affect the performance of the entire machine. If you are not sure about it, report the problem to a professional right away.
You can also perform a leak testing. If there are bubbles during the test, you had better call a professionals repair service provider right away. This damage can get too serious, and might damage the other parts.
