Chapter 5 How to Use
5.5.2 Use of Non-Flammable Gases
If the intestines contain a flammable gas, replace it with air or a non-flammable gas such as air
or CO
2
before performing high-frequency treatment.
WARNING
• If the intestines contain a flammable gas, replace it with air or a non-flammable gas such
as air or CO
2
before performing high-frequency treatment. Performing high-frequency
treatment while the intestines are filled with a flammable gas could result in an explosion
and/or fire.
Note
When using the endoscopic CO
2
regulator, refer to the operation manual of the
endoscopic CO
2
regulator.
5.5.3 High-Frequency Treatment
If the intestines contain a flammable gas, replace it with air or a non-flammable gas such as air
or CO
2
before performing high-frequency treatment.
WARNING
• This product is not intended for use with the laser cauterization system. Do not use this
product in combination with the laser cauterization system.
• Set the minimum required output power of the electrosurgical unit and high-frequency
endotherapy device within the specified output range as per instructions provided in the
operation manual of the electrosurgical unit and high-frequency endotherapy device. If the
output power is inappropriate, it may cause injury to tissues in the body cavity, thermal
injury, bleeding or perforation.
• Wear chemical-resistant and waterproof gloves when performing high-frequency
treatment. If not worn, there is a risk of thermal injury or electric shock.
• Always keep pacemaker users away from the electrosurgical unit. The pacemaker may
malfunction.
• When performing high-frequency treatment, maintain enough distance between the distal
end of endoscope and the tip of the electrosurgical unit. Energize the electrosurgical
unit after bringing the tip of the endotherapy device into the field of view. When the high-
frequency endotherapy device or energizing part makes contact with the distal end of the
endoscope, do not energize the electrosurgical unit. When performing high-frequency
treatment, suck mucus adhering to the tissues in the body cavity first and then energize
the electrosurgical unit. If the unit is energized when the endotherapy device in contact
with the distal end of the endoscope or mucus, it may cause thermal injury.
• Before performing high-frequency treatment, basic in vitro experiments must be performed
sufficiently by the user to acquire proper skills for high-frequency treatment.
