Observe the following cautions when handling this product. Also, there are same cautions in
each chapter.
1.12.1 Precautions for Inspection Before Use
WARNING
• Make sure to inspect the endoscope and accessories before use according to the
procedures provided in this manual. Do not use the equipment that shows any signs
of abnormality or irregularity. Use of abnormal equipment may lead to misdiagnosis or
increase risks to patient safety.
• Make sure to check the forceps valve before use. If the inspection result shows any sign of
abnormality or irregularity, replace the forceps valve with a new one already reprocessed.
Use of an abnormal forceps valve may cause the leakage of body fluid, posing an infection
risk.
• Make sure to check the distal end cap before use. If the inspection result shows any
sign of abnormality or irregularity, replace the distal end cap with a new one already
reprocessed. Use of an abnormal distal end cap can pose a risk of infection.
• Turn the up/down and left/right angulation knobs slowly in each direction until they stop.
Repeat this operation several times to confirm that the bending section angulates smoothly
and correctly. If the endoscope with an abnormal angulation knob is used, the bending
section does not return to its neutral position, causing patient injury.
• If water leaks from the forceps valve or suction valve during the inspection of the suction
function, replace it with a new one already reprocessed. A leaking forceps valve or suction
valve may cause backflow of body fluid, posing an infection control risk.
• If water leaks from the air/water valve during the inspection of the air/water supply
function, replace it with a new one already reprocessed. A leaking air/water valve may
cause backflow of body fluid, posing an infection control risk.
• Turn off the light of the light source before inspecting the objective lens. Viewing the light
from the light guide directly may damage your eyes.
CAUTION
• Make sure to inspect the endoscope and accessories before use according to the
procedures provided in this manual. Do not use the equipment that shows any signs of
abnormality or irregularity. Use of abnormal equipment may cause equipment malfunction.
• Do not forcibly turn the angulation knob further after turning the knob until it stops. If the
angulation knob is forcibly turned, it may cause malfunction of the endoscope.
• Make sure that no moisture or foreign matter (such as dust, gauze fibers, metallic
fragments) adheres to the LG connector before connecting it to the light source. If the LG
connector with moisture or foreign matter (such as dust, gauze fibers, metallic fragments)
is connected, it may cause malfunction or failure of the devices.
