5.2 Withdrawal of the endoscope with an
abnormality
If an abnormality occurs while the endoscope is in use, take a proper measure
as described in either “When the endoscopic image appears on the monitor” or
“When the endoscopic image does not appear on the monitor or the frozen
image cannot be restored” below. After withdrawal, return the endoscope for
repair as described in Section 5.3, “Returning the endoscope for repair”.
If the endoscope or endo-therapy accessory cannot be
withdrawn from the patient smoothly, do not attempt to
forcibly withdraw it; deal appropriately. If any irregularities are
suspected, immediately contact Olympus. Forcibly
withdrawing the endoscope or endo-therapy accessory may
cause patient injury, bleeding and/or perforation.
When the endoscopic image appears on the monitor
1. Turn OFF all equipment except the video system center, light source,
monitor and suction pump.
2. When using an endo-therapy accessory, withdraw the endo-therapy
accessory slowly while the tip of the endo-therapy accessory is closed
and/or retracted into its sheath.
3. Aspirate accumulated air, blood, mucus or other debris by depressing the
suction valve.
4. Carefully withdraw the endoscope while observing the endoscopic image.
5. Remove the mouthpiece from the patient’s mouth.
