• After using this endoscope, reprocess and store it according to the instructions
given in the endoscope’s companion “REPROCESSING MANUAL” with your
endoscope model listed on the cover. Using improperly or incompletely
reprocessed or stored instruments may cause patient cross-contamination and/or
infection.
• Before endoscopy, remove any metallic objects (watch, glasses, necklace, etc.)
from the patient. Performing high-frequency cauterization treatment while the
patient is wearing metallic objects may cause burns on the patient in areas around
the metallic objects.
• Do not strike, hit, or drop the endoscope’s distal end, insertion tube, bending
section, control section, universal cord, or endoscope connector. Also, do not bend,
pull, or twist the endoscope’s distal end, insertion tube, bending section, control
section, universal cord, or endoscope connector with excessive force. The
endoscope may be damaged and could cause patient injury, burns, bleeding,
and/or perforations. It could also cause parts of the endoscope to fall off inside the
patient.
• Never perform angulation control forcibly or abruptly. Never forcefully pull, twist, or
rotate the angulated bending section. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation
may result. It may also become impossible to straighten the bending section during
an examination.
• Never insert or withdraw the endoscope’s insertion section while the bending
section is locked in position. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result.
• Never operate the bending section, perform suction, insert or withdraw the
endoscope’s insertion section, rotate the insertion section, or use EndoTherapy
accessories while no endoscopic image is observed or the endoscopic image is
frozen. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result.
• Never insert, withdraw, or rotate the endoscope’s insertion section with excessive
force or while an optimum field of view cannot be obtained. Patient injury, bleeding,
and/or perforation may result. If it is difficult to insert the endoscope, do not forcibly
insert the endoscope; stop the endoscopy. Forcible insertion can result in patient
injury, bleeding, and/or perforation.
• Never insert or withdraw the insertion section abruptly or with excessive force.
Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result.
