WARNING
Never release your finger from the forceps stand lever during puncture.
Doing so may cause bleeding due to an unintended puncture.
To avoid the potential for patient injury including perforation, do not
apply excessive force of the ultrasonic endoscope or endotherapy
device against mucosal surfaces. Only advance the endotherapy
device while viewing the endoscopic image.
Use the air/water channel cleaning adapter CA-609 only for cleaning
the air/water channel. If it is used during a procedure, continuous air
supply may occur and cause patient injury.
CAUTION
Take extreme care when inserting the ultrasonic endoscope into the
oral cavity. Otherwise, it may cause pain to the patient.
Do not forcibly advance or withdraw the ultrasonic endoscope into/
from the patient. It may cause damage to the body lumen, bleeding or
perforation.
Before inserting or moving the ultrasonic endoscope, be sure to lower
the forceps stand. If the force stand remains raised, there is a risk of
damaging the inside of the body cavity.
Do not angulate the bending section forcibly or operate it quickly. It
may cause damage to the body lumen, bleeding or perforation.
During an observation, do not perform close observation for an
extended period of time. Use the ultrasonic endoscope with a minimum
necessary amount of brightness and time while maintaining an
appropriate distance. 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. For details on the settings, refer
to the operation manual of the light source and processor in use.
If the brightness level is high, the temperature at the distal end may
exceed 41°C. Do not allow the distal end to remain in contact with the
same site for an extended period of time. It may cause burn injury.
