Connect the ancillary equipment to the endoscope as described below.
Connection to the light source
• If the endoscope connector and light source are not connected properly, the
endoscopic image may flicker or may not be displayed. Continuous use of such an
endoscope may cause patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation.
• Firmly connect the suction tube from the suction pump to the suction connector on
the suction valve. If the suction tube is not attached properly, debris may drip from
the tube. The patient, operator and/or equipment could be contaminated and
equipment malfunction can result.
Before connecting the endoscope connector to the light source, confirm that the
endoscope connector, including the electrical contacts, is completely dry and
foreign objects such as detergent remnants, hard water residue, finger grease,
dust, and lint are not on the electrical contacts. If the endoscope is used with the
electrical contacts wet and/or dirty, the endoscope and/or light source may
malfunction.
