First of all, rigid endoscope is a complex device composed of optical fiber bundle, imaging eyepiece, operating channel, bending joint and other parts, which is usually not suitable for contact with water. Soaking in water may cause problems such as fiber bundle breakage, blurred imaging eyepiece, and blocked surgical channel, thus affecting the imaging quality and surgical effect of endoscope.
Secondly, the endoscope is an electronic device, and soaking in water will increase the risk of short circuit, which may lead to damage or even failure of the endoscope. Moreover, endoscopes often need to be disinfected in advance, and soaking in water may destroy the effect of these treatments and increase the risk of cross-infection.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety and normal use of the endoscope, it is necessary to avoid soaking the rigid endoscope in water to avoid damaging and affecting the endoscope. If the endoscope breaks down or needs maintenance, you should seek the help of professional medical institutions or equipment maintenance centers. Do not operate it at will to avoid safety risks.
