Endo-Detect System – loop closing detection
In the Polypectomy mode, the Endo-Detect system is an additional option. It is loop
detection. When the Endo-Detect system is active, the system makes it impossible to
activate current flow in a loop which is not applied on the tissue. It increases the
safety of endoscopic procedures by limiting the risk of accidental activation of current
in a loop which is not applied on the tissue. When the system detects a non-closed
loop, a sound will be emitted and a message will appear on the screen.
This function is disabled by default. You can turn it on by touching the Endo-
Detect button. To disable the detection, touch this button again.
WARNING
Enabling this function reduces the risk of operator’s error. It prevents
accidental activation of a loop which is not closed on the tissue, thus reducing
the risk of perforation.
CAUTION
NOTE: do not use the Endo Detect function when removing polyps smaller
than 2
mm.
Suggested settings for Polypectomy
Cutting percentage: 16%
Level: 6
Time: 0.08 s
WARNING
Please remember that the effect of cutting and the selected settings depend
on:

size and a type of the polyp

loop movements by the operator – too fast and too strong closing of the loop
can cause mechanic cut of non-coagulated polyp tissue which can lead to
bleeding.
