Chapter 1 Precautions
CAUTION
• Do not touch the light guide cover glass. A dirty light guide cover glass may result in the
reduction of light intensity.
• If abnormalities and/or material changes including but not limited to cracking, flaking,
pitting, corrosion, etc. which can create sharp edges, compromise sealed surfaces and/or
negatively affect device functionality are found, contact your local FUJIFILM dealer.
1.12.2 Handling Precautions
WARNING
• Wear personal protective equipment (such as goggles, facemask, chemical-resistant and
waterproof gloves, antifouling protective clothing, cap and shoe covers) during a procedure
as well as during reprocessing to protect your eye and skin and to prevent infection. Not
doing so may cause infection.
• If you encounter any resistance during a procedure, insert the endoscope slowly. Do not
force it in. Do not insert or bend the endoscope without securing the view on the monitor.
Not following the recommendations above may cause injury to tissues in the body cavity,
bleeding or perforation.
• The forceps valve is intended for single use. Discard it after use. If a deteriorated forceps
valve is used, body fluids may leak, causing infection.
• Reprocess the forceps valve before use. Use of an improperly reprocessed forceps valve
can create a risk of infection.
• Use a reprocessed forceps valve, air/water valve, suction valve, mouthpiece and distal
end cap. Insufficient reprocessing could be a source of infection.
• Ensure that the forceps valve is properly attached to the instrument channel inlet. If this
product is used without the forceps valve attached, body fluid may leak and it could be a
source of infection.
• The lid of the forceps valve must be closed when using the endoscope. Not doing so may
cause leak of body fluids and increase a risk of infection.
• When the lid of the forceps valve needs to be opened during a procedure, place a piece of
gauze, etc. over it to prevent leakage. Otherwise, body fluids may leak or splash from the
forceps valve, posing an infection control risk to the patient or end-user.
• The distal end cap is intended for single use. Discard it after use. Use of a deteriorated
distal end cap can pose a risk of infection.
• Reprocess the distal end cap before use. Use of an improperly reprocessed distal end cap
can pose a risk of infection.
• 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.
• Attach the distal end cap before inserting the endoscope. Not doing so may cause injury
to tissues in the body cavity, bleeding and/or perforation.
