WARNINGS: PRODUCT SAFETY
This instrument and related devices may contain batteries or other environmentally hazardous
materials. When the instrument or accessories have reached the end of their useful service life,
see the section Device Disposal. Dispose of used, single‑use components as infectious waste.
WARNING
Two areas of the bronchoscope tip that contact the patient can exceed 41°C (106°F) as part of
normal operation:
The first area is the light‑emitting area surrounding the camera in the tip. When used as
indicated, continuous contact with this area is unlikely because, if tissue were to contact this
area, a usable view would be lost. Devices would then need to be adjusted to regain the
working distance needed for a usable view.
The second area is the area of the tip that surrounds the camera, but is out of its field of view.
Continuous contact with this area is unlikely because the product is typically not held stationary
for an extended period of time, and because there is normally a small clearance between the
area and the adjacent tissue.
To prevent thermal damage, such as a burn to the mucosal tissue, avoid prolonged, continuous
contact with these areas of the bronchoscope tip.
