Chapter 1 Precautions
CAUTION
• If the distal end cap becomes misaligned or falls off during a procedure, stop the
procedure immediately and slowly withdraw the endoscope. Otherwise, it may cause injury
to tissues in the body cavity.
• Insert the endotherapy device slowly. The endotherapy device may bend if it is inserted
quickly.
• When inserting an endotherapy device, close the lid of the forceps valve. If the lid is open,
it can reduce the efficacy of the endoscope’s suction system, making it impossible to
perform aspiration.
• When attaching the suction valve to the suction valve cylinder of the endoscope, align
the recessed and projecting portions and slowly insert the suction valve straight into the
suction valve cylinder of the endoscope. If the suction valve is attached forcibly, it may be
damaged.
• Do not use any lubricants (except sterile water) to the air/water valve. It may impair the
functionality of the valve or may clog the channel, diminishing functionality of air/water
supply.
• Slowly insert the air/water valve straight into the air/water valve cylinder of the endoscope.
If the air/water valve is attached forcibly, it may be damaged.
• Firmly connect the LG connector of the endoscope and the light source. Do not look into
the connecting part between the endoscope and the light source. Light leaking from the
connecting part may cause damage to the eyes.
• 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 endoscope failure or patient injury.
• When the shutter speed is set to “HIGH”, take care not to set the brightness level too high.
Thermal energy created by illumination may cause burn injury.
• Do not push the boot of the control portion against the bed, etc. during a procedure. Doing
so may cause endoscope failure.
