OSF TYPE V60 OPERATION MANUAL
• Confirm that the tip of the Endo-Therapy Accessory is closed
or retracted into its sheath and slowly insert the
Endo-Therapy Accessory into the biopsy valve. Do not open
the tip of the Endo-Therapy Accessory or extend the tip of the
Endo-Therapy Accessory from its sheath while inserting the
Endo-Therapy Accessory into the Instrument Channel. The
Instrument Channel and/or the Endo-Therapy Accessory
may become damaged.
• Hold the Endo-Therapy Accessory close to the biopsy valve
and insert it straight into the biopsy valve using slow short
strokes. Otherwise, the Endo-Therapy Accessory could bend
or break.
3.
Hold the Endo-Therapy Accessory approximately 4 cm from the biopsy
valve and slowly advance it into the biopsy valve using slow, short strokes.
When the tip of the Endo-Therapy Accessory extends
approximately 1 cm from the Distal End of the endoscope,
the accessory appears in the endoscopic image.
Operation of Endo-Therapy Accessories
Operate the Endo-Therapy Accessory according to the directions given in its
instruction manual.
Withdrawal of Endo-Therapy Accessories
Withdraw the Endo-Therapy Accessory slowly while the tip of the Endo-Therapy
Accessory is closed and/or retracted into its sheath.
• Withdraw the Endo-Therapy Accessory slowly and straight
out of the Biopsy Valve. Otherwise, the valve’s slit and/or
hole could be damaged. This can reduce the efficacy of the
endoscope’s suction system, and may leak or spray patient
debris or fluids, posing an infection-control risk.
• Do not withdraw the Endo-Therapy Accessory if the tip is
open or extended from its sheath; patient injury and/or
instrument damage may occur. If the Endo-Therapy
Accessory cannot be withdrawn from the endoscope,
carefully withdraw both the endoscope and the
Endo-Therapy Accessory together under endoscopic
observation. Take care not to cause tissue trauma.
