WARNING
Slowly insert an endotherapy device (e.g. forceps), puncture needle or
syringe straight into the ultrasonic endoscope. Also, when withdrawing
it, slowly pull straight out. If it is inserted or withdrawn quickly,
body fluid may be splattered around due to breakage or accidental
detachment of the instrument, leading to infection.
Do not perform procedures with an endotherapy device hung over
the forceps valve. Doing so may cause backflow of body fluids and
increase a risk of infection.
The forceps valve and balloon are intended for single use. To prevent
infection, do not reuse them.
Discard the forceps valve and balloon after use. Used forceps valve
and balloon could be a source of infection.
Use a cleaned and disinfected (or sterilized) air/water valve and suction
valve. An inadequately cleaned and disinfected (or sterilized) valve
may pose an infection risk.
Use a cleaned and disinfected (or sterilized) puncture needle. An
inadequately cleaned and disinfected (or sterilized) puncture needle
may pose an infection risk.
Wear personal protective equipment during puncture to protect your
eye and skin and to prevent infection.
When supplying water, use sterile water. If sterile water is not used, it
can create a risk of infection.
Carry a cleaned and disinfected (or sterilized) ultrasonic endoscope
at a clean state. If personal protective equipment such as gloves is
contaminated, the contaminants adhere to the ultrasonic endoscope
and it can be a source of infection.
When removing the balloon, wear personal protective equipment and
slowly remove the balloon. There is a risk of infection.
