Chapter 4 Operation
The operator of this instrument must be a physician or medical personnel under
the supervision of a physician and must have received sufficient training in
clinical endoscopic technique. This manual, therefore, does not explain or
discuss clinical endoscopic procedures. It only describes basic operation and
precautions related to the operation of this instrument.
Do not allow the Power Cord to become wet. A wet Power
Cord may cause electrical shock.
Use personal protective equipment to guard against
dangerous chemicals and infectious material. During
operation, wear appropriate protective equipment, such as
eye wear, a face mask, moisture-resistant clothing and
chemical-resistant gloves that fit properly and are long
enough so that your skin is not exposed.
Only perform insufflation after drying the channel with 70%
ethyl or isopropyl alcohol. Otherwise the 70% ethyl or
isopropyl alcohol may remain inside the endoscope’s
channel.
4.1 Leakage Testing
When reprocessing the endoscope, perform leakage testing to ensure that the
endoscope is waterproof.
Refer to the instruction manuals of the Leakage Tester and endoscope for
directions on Leakage Testing.
