3.5 Inspection and connection of ancillary
equipment
Inspection of ancillary equipment
• BF-160 series endoscopes are not compatible with the video
system center CV-200/240/260.
• For the BF-P160/XT160/3C160, use the video system center
CV-160 only. These endoscopes are not compatible with the
video system center CV-100/140.
Prepare and inspect the light source, video system center, video monitor, suction
pump and endo-therapy accessories as described in their respective instruction
manuals.
Connection of the endoscope and ancillary equipment
• If the endoscope connector, videoscope cable and video
system center are not connected properly, the endoscopic
image may have flicker or not be displayed. Continuous use
of such endoscope may cause patient injury, bleeding 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.
• For the BF-P160/XT160/3C160, use the videoscope cable
EXERA (MAJ-843) only. These endoscopes are not
compatible with the videoscope cable 100 (MD-680 or
MD-148).
• For more information on combining the endoscope with the
video system center and the videoscope cable, refer to the
“System chart” in the Appendix.
1. If any ancillary equipment is ON, turn it OFF.
2. Insert the endoscope connector completely into the output socket of the light
source.
