EVIS EXERA II GIF/CF/PCF TYPE 180 Series OPERATION MANUAL
Examples of inappropriate handling
Details on clinical endoscopic technique are the responsibility of trained
specialists. Patient safety in endoscopic examinations and endoscopic treatment
can be ensured through appropriate handling by the physician and the medical
facility. Examples of inappropriate handling are described below;
• Over-insufflating the lumen may cause patient pain, injury, bleeding
and/or perforation.
• Applying suction with the distal end in prolonged contact with the
mucosal surface, with higher suction pressure than required or with
prolonged suction time may cause bleeding and/or lesions.
• The endoscope has not been designed for use in retroflexed
observation in parts of the body other than the stomach. Performing
retroflexed observation in a narrow lumen may make it impossible to
straighten and/or withdraw the endoscope. Retroflexed observation in
parts of the body other than the stomach should be performed only
when the usefulness of doing so is determined to be greater than the
risk that is posed to the patient.
• Inserting, withdrawing and using endo-therapy accessories without a
clear endoscopic image may cause patient injury, burns, bleeding
and/or perforation.
• Inserting or withdrawing the endoscope, feeding air, applying suction or
operating the bending section without a clear endoscopic image may
cause patient injury, bleeding and/or perforation.
