Precautions
CAUTION
• Prevent patient’s body from touching electric conductor such as metal part of bed while
performing high-frequency treatment. It could cause thermal injury to a patient due to
energization via the conductive part.
• When performing high-frequency treatment, take care that patient’s vomitus or body fluids
do not make contact with the conductive parts such as a metal part of the bed. It could
cause thermal injury to a patient due to energization via vomitus or body fluids.
• While performing high-frequency treatment, ensure that the end-user does not touch the
patient. It could cause thermal injury to a patient and/or end-user.
• Operate the electrosurgical unit within specified output range as per instructions provided
in the operation manual of the electrosurgical unit. Leakage current may cause thermal
injury.
• Do not energize the electrosurgical unit when the high-frequency endotherapy device or
electrically active portion is in contact with the distal end of endoscope. Thermal injury to a
patient or endoscope failure may occur.
• Do not apply the current under the circumstance that patient’s clothing is wet when
performing high-frequency treatment. Doing so may cause thermal injury.
1.13.2 Precautions for Endotherapy Device and Syringe
WARNING
• When inserting an endotherapy device into the endoscope, or when injecting fluids by
attaching a syringe to the instrument channel inlet, slowly insert the endotherapy device
or syringe straight into the endoscope. Also, when withdrawing it, slowly pull straight out.
If an endotherapy device or syringe is inserted or withdrawn quickly, or if it is inserted
or withdrawn obliquely against the forceps valve, the forceps valve may be damaged or
accidentally detached, or a clearance may be generated between the lid and the main
body of the forceps valve. As a result, body fluid may be splattered around leading to
infection to the patient or end-user.
• Do not perform a procedure with an endotherapy device hung over the forceps valve.
Doing so may cause leakage of body fluids and increase a risk of infection.
• Use sterile or reprocessed endotherapy devices. Non-sterile or inadequately reprocessed
endotherapy devices may pose an infection risk.
CAUTION
• If resistance is encountered while advancing an endotherapy device within the instrument
channel, do not forcibly advance the endotherapy device. Otherwise, it may cause
malfunction of the endoscope.
