OVERVIEW: FlexiPump™Independent Flushing System
The FlexiPump system is designed for use in a medical reprocessing area. It is engineered to provide optimal flushing
capacity, installation flexibility, and easy use and maintenance. It can be used independently or with a Pure Station™
Sink Insert, and has been fully tested for use with a wide variety of reusable lumened devices, including rigid and flexible
endoscopes, minimally invasive surgical devices, ocular and robotic devices, and suction tips.
The FlexiPump System is adaptable for counter, sink or wall installation near a water source. Accessories are available
from Pure Processing to adapt the system to multiple additional uses. The FlexiPump tube sets connect to most devices,
with or without luer locks and/or ports. A pressure relief feature is included to help protect scopes during flushing. The
FlexiPump system can be used alone or can augment existing pumps. Up to three devices can be flushed at once through
each FlexiPump unit.

OPERATION
Set-up: new FlexiPump Independent Flushing System
Your FlexiPump system does not come with a tube set installed. To install your first tube set, please see the
Maintenance section in this manual (page 12).
Set-up: with Nest Accessory
The Nest Accessory can be set up on any counter near a sink. Simply insert the FlexiPump system into the Nest with
tubes facing the labeled front of the accessory. Plug the power supply cord into an electrical outlet.
NOTE: Do not place pumps directly under a water supply.
Set-up: with Sink Rail Accessory
The Sink Rail accessory (sold separately) adheres to the top inside surface of a clean sink at the top edge. Once the rail is
attached, lock the back of the FlexiPump system onto the Sink Rail track, then plug the FlexiPump power supply cord
into a wall outlet.
Use extra caution with sink wall installations to avoid impact with hard surfaces.

OPERATION (continued)
Set-up: on a wall
The Nest Accessory can be mounted on a wall using the two through-holes in the back of the accessory. Simply hang the
nest on a wall near a sink and insert the FlexiPump unit. Then plug the cord into an outlet. (Hardware not included.)
Mounting holes
Set-up: on Pure Station™Medical Devices Pre-Cleaning System
The FlexiPump system can be inserted into the corner well of the PureStation Sink Insert, or along the side ridges
molded into the sink.
The FlexiPump unit is not meant to be submerged; use caution when installing near water.

6
OPERATION (continued)
Set-up: tube sets
The drop-down tube on each new tube set is 30 inches long. If the tube is too long for your sink, it can be cut
to shorten it. If you cannot position it so it is submerged under the cleaning solution, use a tissue clip or other
medical device to add weight and rest it at the bottom of the sink where solution is drawn from. A ceramic
weight can also be purchased from Pure Processing.
Each FlexiPump tube set comes with three (3) leads, each of which can be attached to an instrument. You
can use all three at once. If you have fewer than three devices to flush, you can cap off the unused lead(s) to
ensure appropriate pressure into the lead(s) with attached devices. Use the luer end cap provided with your
tube set. You may also re-use end caps from other FlexiPump tube sets.
General guidelines for speed control
Because fluid will take the path of least resistance, it is important that instrument channels attached to a
FlexiPump system are approximately the same diameter, to assure consistent flushing into all the devices.
DO NOT ATTACH A LARGE-DIAMETER LUMEN TO ONE LEAD AND A SMALL-DIAMETER LUMEN TO ANOTHER
ON THE SAME PUMP SYSTEM.
Low speed: this setting is designed for small channels, 1 to 3 millimeters (mm) in size. This setting
will flush 500 milliliters (ml) of fluid in one minute into all three channels (166 ml through each
lead). DO NOT TURN UP THE SPEED when you hear the motor slowing down. The smaller channels
cannot accommodate any higher flow volume. Trying to force it to go faster will cause back up in
the motor and will make the pressure release valve drain fluid.
Medium speed: This setting is designed for channels that are 2 to 3 mm in diameter. This setting
will flush 750 ml of fluid in one minute into all three channels (250 ml through each lead). DO NOT
TURN UP THE SPEED if you hear the motor slowing down. However, if there is fluid draining from
the pressure relief valve, you can consider slowing the pump speed.
High Speed: This setting will flush 1,000 ml of fluid in one minute into all three channels (333 ml
through each lead). This is used for channels larger than 4 mm in diameter.
Too much pressure and speed for small devices can result in tube set damage.

OPERATION (continued)
Connecting flexible endoscopes to the FlexiPump Independent Flushing System
It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use (IFU) for each flexible endoscope. The FlexiPump system
replaces the syringe flushing method in the pre-cleaning sections of these IFU.*
The injector tube (or suction channel tube in this example) is used to
inject reprocessing fluids into the instrument channel, suction
channel, and air/water channels of the endoscope. It is also used to
flush air through these channels to expel fluids.
Follow the device manufacturer’s IFU to attach the injector tube to
the scope.
Attach the FlexiPump tube set luer locks to the suction channel port
and air/water port of the injector tube. Directions may vary
depending on the scope and the manufacturer.
Cap off all unused tubes on the FlexiPump Tube Set. If there are two
channels on the endoscope, place a FlexiPump seal cap on the end of
the third FlexiPump tube lead. If you are flushing only one channel or
lumen, cap off the other two FlexiPump tube leads with luer end caps.
Select the appropriate flush function and speed (page 9) and flush the
device.
IMPORTANT:
Most endoscope manufacturers specify how much cleaning solution to flush through the device. Follow IFU's to
prepare the cleaning solution. Carefully monitor all device exit points for flowing cleaning solution to ensure copious
flushing.
Be sure to rinse devices per manufacturer’s IFU.
To eject solutions from a scope, remove the drop-down tube from the reprocessing fluid container. Allow pump to
run. This will inject air into the scope and purge fluid from the device. Then continue to next reprocessing step.

OPERATION (continued)
Flushing flexible endoscopes with the FlexiPump Independent Flushing System
PSI Settings
Please refer to the manufacturer’s IFU for each endoscope’s pressure requirements. The FlexiPump system
can be used with a low-pressure tube set or a higher-pressure tube set. In general, smaller flexible devices
(urology scopes and bronchoscopes, for example) require lower pressure.
General rules and guidelines for flexible endoscope speed control
There are three (3) tubes on each FlexiPump tube set. IF ANY TUBES ARE NOT IN USE, BE SURE THEY ARE
SECURED WITH END CAPS PROVIDED IN THE TUBE SET.
When using all three tubes of the tube set for flushing, the MEDIUM or HIGH FlexiPump speed should
be used.
When using two tubes, make sure the third tube is capped and the FlexiPump is set for LOW, MEDIUM
or (in some cases) HIGH speed.
When using only one of the three tubes of the FlexiPump tube set, cap off the other two tubes and set
the FlexiPump speed to LOW, MEDIUM or (in rare cases) HIGH speed.
If the pump sounds or looks stressed, turn the speed setting down to avoid unnecessary
wear on the motor.
PLEASE NOTE: the FlexiPump Independent Flushing System is intended for pre-cleaning and flushing of lumened devices.
It is not for final treatment and does not replace manual brushing and rinsing. Refer to each medical device
manufacturer’s instructions for use for complete pre-cleaning instructions.

Too much pressure and speed can cause tube set damage.
Key Pad Operation
Impact: press for clogged devices. Press the button ONCE for two (2)
minutes, TWICE for four (4) minutes, and THREE TIMES for six (6)
minutes.
STOP: press to stop all pump action and cancel any cycle
Forward Flush: press the button ONCE for 30 seconds, TWICE for 60
seconds and THREE TIMES for 90 seconds
Speed Control: Push the button ONCE for low (500 ml per minute),
TWICE for medium (750 ml per minute), and THREE TIMES for high
speed (1,000 ml per minute)
The Forward flush cycle is used for flushing channels. There are three options for this cycle: 30 seconds,
60 seconds and 90 seconds.
The Impact cycle is used ONLY for devices that are clogged. The FlexiPump tube set must be
decontaminated after each Impact Cycle run.
The Speed Indicator shows one, two or three lights, to indicate the pump speed selected.

MAINTENANCE
Decontaminating the tube set
Disinfect the tube sets at least daily, preferably at every shift change.
Step 1. Pour ready-to-use disinfectant into an open, clean container.
Step 2. Submerge the drop-down tube in the container with disinfectant.
Step 3. Set speed control on Low (1 LED light).
Step 4. Press the START button to begin fluid flow.
Step 5. Press STOP when the tube set is completely full of disinfectant.
Step 6. You may need to place end cap(s) on the tube(s) to hold the disinfectant inside the tube set for the
full
contact time.
Step 7. Disinfectant should remain inside each tube for five (5) minutes.
Step 8. Fill a cleaning solution caddy with clean water.
Step 9. Place drop-down tube into the water and press START to rinse out the tubing.
Cleaning FlexiPump surfaces
The surfaces of the system should be cleaned daily and whenever there is visible soil.
Step 1. Wipe all external surfaces with a ready to use disinfectant, including the tubing, and
allow them to air-dry.
Step 2. Wipe the surfaces of the Nest accessory and/or Rail accessory (if used) and let them air-dry.
Replacing the tube set
There are several important reasons why it is necessary to replace the tube set every month:
1. Infection prevention: hard water deposits could potentially build up on inside surfaces of the tube set
2. Reduced flow rate: the squeeze tube can lose its elasticity with time and use
3. Reduced pump life: the factory-applied tube set lubricant eventually wears away, resulting in more resistance
and more work for the pump. This can reduce the pump’s overall useful life
Bleach or alcohol disinfectants are not compatible with the FlexiPump; it must be water based.

12
MAINTENANCE (continued)
Instructions for replacing the tube set:
1. Remove the Pump Cap by pressing on both side tabs
and pulling gently.
2. Unthread the tubing from around the squeeze tube
rotor.
3. Thread the new tube set around the rotor, making
sure it is properly aligned and the tube fittings are
properly situated in the cap fittings.
4. Place the cap back onto the base, making sure it snaps
down fully.
Flow validation and decontamination records:
These daily activities should be recorded and maintained as part of the department’s quality system. A daily
log sheet template is included in this manual (page 17) for convenient recording of daily flow and
decontamination testing.
