OSF TYPE V60 OPERATION MANUAL
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.
• Anytime you suspect an abnormality in an endoscope
function, stop the examination immediately and slowly
remove it while viewing the endoscopic image. Using a
defective endoscope may cause patient injury.
• If the endoscopic image on the Display Monitor should
unexpectedly disappear or freeze during an examination, and
cannot be restored, turn the Video System Center power
switch OFF and then ON again. If the image still does not
appear, stop the examination immediately, turn the Video
System Center OFF, turn the RIGHT/LEFT Angulation Lock
in the “F
” direction. Then, without touching the Angulation
Control Knobs or Angulation Locks, slowly withdraw the
endoscope from the patient. If an Endo-Therapy Accessory is
being used, withdraw it in the safest possible manner before
withdrawing the endoscope.
• If the angulation control mechanism or any other part of the
system is not functioning properly, stop the procedure
immediately; free the Angulation Locks and do not operate
the Angulation Control Knobs unless absolutely necessary.
Then carefully withdraw the endoscope while observing the
endoscopic image.
• If the endoscope or Endo-Therapy Accessory cannot be
withdrawn from the patient smoothly, do not attempt to
forcibly withdraw it. If any irregularities are suspected,
immediately contact Olympus. Forcibly withdrawing the
endoscope or Endo-Therapy Accessory may cause patient
injury, bleeding and/or perforation.
