Chapter 3 Preparation and Inspection
Before each case, prepare and inspect this instrument as
instructed below. Inspect other equipment that are used with
this instrument as instructed in their respective instruction
manuals. Should the slightest irregularity be suspected, do
not use the instrument and see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting”.
If the irregularity is still suspected after consulting Chapter 6,
contact Olympus.
Damage or irregularity may compromise patient or user
safety and may result in more-severe equipment damage.
Do not connect the power cord of the MU-1 to a different
voltage electrical outlet. Fire and smoke may result.
According to the “System Chart” in the Appendix, prepare this instrument, other
equipment that are used with this instrument, paper towels, basin, gauze and
protective equipment, such as eye wear, a face mask, moisture-resistant clothing
and chemical-resistant gloves, for the procedure.
Refer to the respective instruction manual for each piece of equipment.
3.1 Preparation of the Equipment
Use 70% ethyl or isopropyl alcohol as directed on the
container’s label. Store 70% ethyl or isopropyl alcohol in an
air-tight container. 70% ethyl or isopropyl alcohol stored in an
open container may cause fires and will lose its efficacy due
to evaporation.
Use basins which are at least 40 cm by 40 cm (16” by 16”) in
size and deep enough to allow the endoscope to be
completely immersed. Do not coil the endoscope’s insertion
tube or universal cord with a diameter less than 40 cm.
The endoscope can be damaged if coiled too tightly.
