1.7 Cautions/Warnings
Observe the following cautions when handling this product. Also, there are same
cautions in each chapter.
CAUTION
Do not use the ultrasonic endoscope if it has failed its pre-inspection
check. Doing so can negatively affect the functionality of the instrument
or increase risks to patient safety.
Ultrasonic endoscope is a precision instrument. Unnatural force or
impact on the insertion portion, bending section, control portion or
connector may injure the inside of the patient as well as damage the
instrument. If you encounter any resistance, insert it slowly. Do not
force it in. Do not insert or bend the ultrasonic endoscope without
securing the view on the monitor. Not doing so may cause damage to
both the ultrasonic endoscope and body cavities of the patient.
As the front field of view of this product is at an angle, the view direction
and the insertion direction are different. Thoroughly understand this
characteristic, and always take it into consideration before and while
using the equipment.
Wear personal protective equipment when handling an ultrasonic
endoscope to prevent infection and static charges. When holding
ultrasonic endoscope, hold it by the control portion. Handling it up by
the insertion portion or LG flexible portion is difficult to hold and may
exert an unnatural force, resulting in instrument failure.
