WARNING
The forceps valve must be completely immersed in a disinfectant
solution. Remove air bubbles completely. If any air bubbles remain,
effective disinfection cannot be achieved and an inadequately cleaned
and disinfected (or sterilized) forceps valve may increase a risk of
infection.
Be sure to inspect the forceps valve before attachment. If any
abnormality is found during inspection, do not use the product. It could
be a source of infection.
The lid of the forceps valve must be closed when using the endoscope.
Not doing so may cause backflow of body fluids and increase a risk of
infection.
If the lid of the forceps valve needs to be open during an examination
or treatment, put sterile gauze around the forceps valve before opening
the lid. If sterile gauze is not applied, body fluid may be splattered,
leading to infection.
Be sure to attach a balloon and Over-tube when using the endoscope.
If not attached, body fluid may flow back and it could be a source of
infection.
Do not use the balloon or Over-tube after its expiration date has
elapsed. Doing so may pose an infection risk.
The filter and tube of the tube kit are consumables. Replace them once
a month or once every 10 cases, whichever comes first. If body fluid
flows back into the tube, replace the tube kit. Not doing so may pose
an infection risk.
When removing the hood, Over-tube and balloon, wear personal
protective equipment and slowly remove them. Not doing so may pose
an infection risk.
Do not release your finger suddenly from the suction valve during
suction. Doing so may cause body fluid to splatter and pose an
infection risk.
