EVIS EXERA GIF/CF/PCF TYPE 160 Series OPERATION MANUAL
• If remote switch 1 does not return to the OFF position after
being pressed strongly from the side, gently pull the switch
upwards to return it to the OFF position.
• Do not hit or bend the electrical contacts on the endoscope
connector. The connection to the light source may be
impaired and faulty contact can result.
• Do not attempt to bend the endoscope’s insertion tube with
excessive force. Otherwise, the insertion tube may be
damaged.
• Do not attempt to bend the endoscope’s insertion tube with
excessive force unless flexibility is at the stiffest position.
Otherwise, the insertion tube may be damaged.
• The endoscope contains a memory chip that stores
information about the endoscope and communicates this
information to the CV-160. Although the memory chip is
durable, damage will prevent data from being backed up on
it. When data are lost or damaged, contact Olympus.
• Electromagnetic interference may occur on this instrument
near equipment marked with the following symbol or other
portable and mobile RF (Radio Frequency) communications
equipment such as cellular phones. If electromagnetic
interference occurs, mitigation measures may be necessary,
such as reorienting or relocating this instrument, or shielding
the location.
Examples of inappropriate handling
Details on clinical endoscopic technique are the responsibility of trained
specialists. Patient safety in endoscopic examinations and endoscopic treatment
can be ensured through appropriate handling by the physician and the medical
facility. Examples of inappropriate handling are given below;
• Over-insufflating the lumen may cause patient pain and/or perforation.
• Applying prolonged suction with the distal end in contact with the
mucosal surface may cause bleeding or suction lesions.
• Retroflexing the endoscope within the esophagus or duodenal bulb may
cause mucosal trauma or impaction of the endoscope (for GIF models
only).
