The operator of the endoscope must be a medical practitioner capable of safely performing endoscopy after
operation technique training. This manual does not explain or discuss clinical endoscopic procedures. It only
describes basic operation of the endoscope. Before using the endoscope, ensure to perform preparation
inspection on the endoscope as described in Chapter 3,
“Preparation and inspection”.
Perform cleaning, disinfection on the endoscopes according to the Section 4.6, “Cleaning and disinfection
of the endoscope”.
Check and confirm correct connection of all components, refer to the instruction manual of each product
for details.
Prepare the necessary supplies (alcohol cotton, lens detergent, gauze, biopsy forceps, wax paper, etc.).
Wipe the insertion tube, bending section and distal end of the endoscope carefully with alcohol cotton.
Turn ON the power supply switch of the imaging processor.
Align the distal end of the endoscope with white balance cap; depress the white balance button on the
imaging processor for automatic real color adjustment.
Turn ON the LED lamp, press the brightness adjustment buttons and adjust it to the appropriate
observation intensity.
Feed air and water if necessary; adjust the angulation by operating the angulation control knob; carefully
observe surrounding area and slowly advance the distal end of the endoscope towards the target area.
If the image is blurred by mucus or flush, clean the lens by feeding water from the air/water valve
(inapplicable to VET-3512); utilize air feeding and aspiration to quickly eliminate the blurring.
Open the biopsy valve at the control section of the endoscope.
Close the distal end of the biopsy forceps; slowly insert it through the biopsy channel as shown in figure
4.3.
In the field of view, position to the target biopsy site and align the biopsy forceps with the target, open the
cup of the biopsy forceps to cut the specimens.
Close the cup and withdraw the biopsy forceps from the biopsy channel after the sampling.
