Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
If the endoscope is visibly damaged, does not function as expected or is found to
have irregularities during the inspection described in Chapter 3, “Preparation and
Inspection”, do not use the endoscope. Contact Olympus.
Some problems that appear to be malfunctions may be correctable by referring
to Section 5.1, “Troubleshooting guide”. If the problem cannot be resolved by the
described remedial action, stop using the endoscope and send it to Olympus for
repair.
Olympus does not repair accessory parts. If an accessory part becomes
damaged, contact Olympus to purchase a replacement.
• Never use the endoscope on a patient if an abnormality is
suspected. Damage or irregularity in the instrument 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.
If any abnormality in the function of the endoscope and/or endoscopic image is
suspected during use, stop the examination immediately and carefully withdraw
the endoscope from the patient as described in Section 5.2, “Withdrawal of the
endoscope with an abnormality”.
