Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
The countermeasure against troubles are described in this chapter.
If any irregularity is observed during the inspection described in Chapter 3, “Preparation and
Inspection”, do not use the endoscope and solve the problem as described in Section 5.2,
“Troubleshooting guide”.
If the problem still cannot be resolved, send the endoscope to Olympus for repair as described in
Section 5.4, “Returning the endoscope for repair”.
Also, should any irregularity be observed while using the endoscope, stop using it immediately and
withdraw the endoscope from the patient as described Section 5.3, “Withdrawal of the endoscope with
an irregularity”.
• Never use the endoscope on a patient if an irregularity is observed. Damage or an
irregularity in the endoscope may compromise patient or user safety and may result
in more severe equipment damage.
• If any parts of the endoscope fall off inside the patient body due to equipment
damage or failure, stop using the endoscope immediately and retrieve the parts in
an appropriate way.
The accessories are consumables. Olympus does not repair accessory parts. If an accessory part
becomes damaged, contact Olympus to purchase a replacement.
