4.3 How to Use Balloon
WARNING
Do not use a balloon on patients allergic to latex. There is a risk of an
anaphylactic reaction.
CAUTION
Do not feed more than 5 ml of water into the balloon. There is a risk of
rupturing the balloon.
[Note] It takes approximately 3 seconds to feed in 5 ml of water. Check the amount of
water to be fed before use.
[Note] Check the endoscopic and ultrasonic images while injecting/discharging water into/
from the balloon.
[Note] If water cannot be discharged or little water is discharged from the balloon, refer to
“Chapter 5 Troubleshooting”.
“Chapter 5 Troubleshooting”
(1) Feed a small amount of sterile water to the affected area
before using the balloon.
(2) Turn the up-down and left-right angulation knobs to bring
the transducer closer to the area to perform the ultrasonic
observation.
Feed the required amount of sterile water.
(3)
To move or pull out the ultrasonic endoscope, deflate the
balloon beforehand.
[Note]
If the balloon does not deflate while depressing the suction
valve fully, remove clogs in the balloon channel using the
cleaning brush (WB2221FW2).
