Dangers, warnings and notes
Follow the dangers, warnings and notes given below when handling this
instrument. This information is to be supplemented by the dangers, warnings
and cautions given in each chapter.
• Strictly adhere to the following precautions. Failure to do so
may place the patient and medical personnel in danger of
electric shock.
When this equipment is used to examine a patient, do not
allow the metal parts of the endoscope or its accessories
to touch metal parts of other system components. This
instrument is electrically connected to the metal parts of
other system components and such contact may cause
unintended current flow to the patient.
Keep liquids away from all electrical equipment. If liquid
enters the unit, stop the operation of the equipment at
once and contact Olympus.
Do not prepare, inspect or use this equipment with wet
hands.
• Never install and/or operate the OTV-S7V in locations where:
The concentration of oxygen is high.
Oxidizing agents such as nitrous oxide (N
2
O) are present
in the atmosphere.
Flammable anesthetics are present in the atmosphere.
Otherwise, explosion and/or fire can result.
• Be sure to prepare another video system center to avoid that
the examination must be interrupted due to equipment failure
or malfunction.
• Although the illumination light emitted from the endoscope’s
distal end is required for endoscopic observation and
treatment, it may also cause alteration of living tissues such
as protein denaturation of liver tissue and perforation of the
intestines by inappropriate using.
Observe the following warnings on the illumination.
