Using a sterile, lint-free cloth, thoroughly rinse and wipe all external
surfaces.
3. Immerse the auxiliary water tube in the sterile water. Using a sterile, lint-free
cloth, thoroughly rinse and wipe all external surfaces (for endoscopes with
auxiliary water feeding only).

suction port in sterile water.
