Prüfung der mechanischen Funktion (von Endoskopen)

Albarran mechanism
Explanation:
Endoscopes of this kind, for example duodenoscopes, whose lens is usually arranged at the side of the endoscope head, comprise a mechanism, in particular an Albarran mechanism with an Albarran lever, which makes it possible to move the probes, which are introduced into the endoscpoe through the working channel thereof, in the angle of view of the lens. The Albarran lever can be moved by means of a Bowden wire device extending between the distal and the proximal ends via an operating lever arranged at the outside of the endoscope's housing.

neutral chexum: "mechanism" seems to be used in patents only, "deflector" occurs more often, but I'm not sure if it's the same :)
