Keep an eye on the level of water in the bottle during the procedure. The water bottle must be changed when the water level falls
below the tube.
When changing the water bottle, disconnecting the system between two patients, or during any other procedures,
authorised personnel must use appropriate techniques to avoid contaminating the ENDOtube for Wash Bottle + CO2

to be used away from the patient and close to the endoscopy column.
Special care must be taken to avoid inadvertently connecting the connector to an existing line in the patent with a
