3.8 Inspection of the endoscopic system
BF-190 Series OPERATION MANUAL
Ch.3
Inspection of the remote switches
Check that all remote switches work normally even if they are not expected to be
used. Otherwise, the endoscopic image may freeze, or other irregularities may
occur during examination and may cause patient injury, bleeding, and/or
perforation.
Detach the sterilization cap from the venting connector after gas sterilization (e.g.,
ethylene oxide gas sterilization, hydrogen peroxide low temperature plasma).
Otherwise, the remote switches may not work normally due to a difference between
internal and external pressures of the endoscope.
