INSTALLATION

Set-up: on Multi-Pump Bracket

To install your multi-pump bracket on your wall, insert the anchor in the bracket holes. Line up

the pegboard holes and the anchor, and screw in the steel bracket securely.

To install on solid walls, position the bracket onto the wall, and note where the drilling will be

located. Pre-drill a 1/4” hole will into the area. Line up the bracket holes to the pegboard holes,

and screw in steel bracket securely.

The FlexiPump system can be inserted into the corner well of the PureStation Sink Insert, or along

the side ridges molded into the sink.

Set-up: on Pure Station™ Sink Insert

The FlexiPump unit is not

meant to be submerged; use

caution when installing near

water.

Once your FlexiPump system has been installed in its preferred place, remove the black power cord

from your FlexiPump box. Take the barrel end of the gray cord found at the back of the FlexiPump

and insert the barrel end of the black power supply to the gray cord. Make sure there are no frays in

the wires.

Once both barrel cords have been tightly secured, plug the power supply into your wall outlet. Run

the forward ﬂush on your FlexiPump to make sure that the power has been installed correctly.

Set-up: Power Supply

Do not submerge the power or

barrel cords. Please use caution

when installing near water.

Speeds

Low speed

This setting is designed for small channels, 1 to 3 millimeters (mm) in size. This

setting will ﬂush a total of 200 mL of ﬂuid in 30 seconds. 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 a

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 a total of 375 mL of ﬂuid in 30 seconds. 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 a total of 500 mL of ﬂuid in 30 seconds. 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.

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. For this reason, do

not attach a large-diameter lumen to one lead and a small-diameter lumen to another on the same pump system.

OPERATION

FlexiPump Cycles and Keypad Settings

Most frequently used button; time controlled:

• 1 LED light- 30 seconds

• 2 LED lights- 60 seconds

• 3 LED lights- 90 seconds

Stops the flushing

It’s important to control the volume without too much pressure:

• 1 LED light- Low- for small devices 1-2 mm diameter, such as suction tips

and eye instruments (500 ml** per min.)

• 2 LED lights- Medium- medium devices 2-3 mm diameter (750 ml** per min.)

• 3 LED lights- High- large devices, 4 mm and larger diameter, such as

laparoscopic, robotic, or orthopedic lumens (1000 ml** per min.)

**Milliliters flushed is the total volume. Example: if three devices are flushed at

the same time on high speed – each device flushes 333 ml per minute.

Used on devices that have material clog or impact. The impact cycle will create a push and

pull pressure- moving in a forward direction, and then stopping to reverse and create

suction. This feature will allow the clog to soften up and allow you to push a brush through.

Time controlled:

• 1 LED light: 2 minutes

• 2 LED lights: 4 minutes

• 3 LED lights: 6 minutes

KEY PAD FUNCTIONS

Many lumened/channeled devices can be properly connected and ﬂushed with the FlexiPump system.

OPERATION

Connecting Devices

For devices with luer locks:

Twist the FlexiPump tube collar onto the

device with a luer, until locked.

Flush the device following manufacturer’s

recommendations.

For devices with luer ports:

Pull the tube collar back.

Insert the slip tip into the device.

Flush according to manufacturer’s

recommendations.

For devices without luer locks or ports:

Use a cup adaptor to create a tight seal.

Flush according to manufacturer’s

recommendations.

For devices with female luer locks:

Use a female-to-female luer lock adapter.

Flush according to manufacturer’s

recommendations.

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 chan-

nels 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 end 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.

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 ﬂushing cleaning solution to ensure copious ﬂushing.

Be sure to rinse devices per manufacturer’s IFU.

OPERATION

Tube Sets

If the pump sounds or looks stressed,

turn the speed setting down to avoid

unnecessary wear on the motor.

PSI Settings

Please refer to the manufacturer’s IFU for each instrument’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 ocular instruments, for example) require lower pressure.

There are multiple leads on any FlexiPump tube set. If any tubes are not in use, be sure they are

secured with end caps provided in the tube set.

PLEASE NOTE: The FlexiPump Independent Flushing System is intended for manual 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 cleaning requirements.

MAINTENANCE

Disinfecting 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.

MAINTENANCE

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.

Each FlexiPump tube set comes with two, three, or ﬁve leads,

each of which can be attached to an instrument. You can use

them all at once. If you have fewer than three devices to ﬂush,

you can cap off the unused lead(s) to ensure appropriate pres-

sure into the lead(s) with attached devices. Use the end cap

provided with your tube set. You may also re-use end caps from

other FlexiPump tube sets.

MAINTENANCE

Changing tube sets

Tube Set Instructions

1. Infection Prevention

Hard water deposits could potentially build up on the inside surface of the tube set.

2. Reduced Flow Rate

The squeeze tube can lose its elasticity with time and frequent 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 lifetime.

MAINTENANCE

Conducting a Flow Validation Test

The ﬂow validation will test every speed on the FlexiPump: low, medium, and high for 30 seconds each

to assure your FlexiPump is dispensing the right amount of liquid. We recommend running the ﬂow

validation test at least once a day. You may use the log provided in the back of this manual to keep

track of your ﬂow validation tests.

Step 1 Place the down tube into a container of water that contains at least 1000mL of water. Remove

all the end caps from the 3 tube leads.

Step 2 Run an initial Forward Flush for at least 30 seconds on high speed, ensuring water is dispensed

from each tube lead (indicating the tubing is properly primed).

Step 3 Place the 3 tube leads into the solution caddy container. Make sure to hold the 3 tube leads

into the container while the pump is running. This will measure how much liquid is dispensed

during the ﬂush cycles.

Step 4 Make sure your Speed button is on the low setting, showing 1 LED light. Press the Forward

Flush button once to run the FlexiPump for 30 seconds on Low. Verify that at least 250mL of

water was dispensed.

Step 5 Empty the solution container and reﬁll your container of water, assuring that you have at least

1000mL of water. Place the tube leads back into the solution container.

Step 6 Set your Speed button to medium, showing 2 LED lights. Press the Forward Flush button once

for a 30 second cycle. Verify that at least 375mL of water was dispensed.

Step 7 Empty the solution container and reﬁll your container of water, assuring that you have at least

1000mL of water. Place the tube leads back into the solution container.

Step 8 Set your Speed button to high, showing 3 LED lights.

Press the Forward Flush button once for a 30 second

cycle. Verify that at least 500mL of water was dispensed.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Issue: My FlexiPump is failing its daily ﬂow validation test.

Are the results from your ﬂow validation test within

a 10% variance range of the stated volumes on

page 14 of your ﬂow validation test?

YES

The FlexiPump ﬂow validation test allows for up to

a 10% variance in the stated test results due to age,

general use, electrical amperage, and other factors.

My results are lower than what’s stated

in the variance range.

Do you disinfect your tubing on a

daily basis with a pre-approved disin-

fectant, such as ProSpray?

Do you change your tube sets

monthly?

YES NO

Tube sets that are disinfected with the

wrong disinfectant can result in damage

and incorrect ﬂow validation testing.

Begin disinfection with ProSpray, and

change your tube sets. Re-run your test.

Tubing that is not changed monthly can

result in less elastic tube sets, which

can cause variances in ﬂow validation

results. Change your tube sets monthly

and test a new tube set. Re-run your test.

Is your drop-down tube fully submerged?

Is your tubing with in its 30-days use?

Is your tubing leaking, torn, or damaged?

Are you using a three-prong rotor?

Did you fully prime your tube set by running an

initial Forward Flush on High speed for 30 seconds?

YES

Call your Pure Processing representative

for next steps in troubleshooting.

Reconduct your test results with tubing that is

primed, fully submerged under water, with the

correct rotor. Discard any damaged tubing.
