WARNING
Slowly insert an endotherapy device (e.g. forceps) or syringe straight
into the 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 If it is inserted or withdrawn quickly, body fluid may be splattered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 examinations 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, setting tool ST-05B, balloon and Over-tube are
intended for single use. To prevent infection, do not reuse them.
Discard the forceps valve, balloon and Over-tube after use. Used
forceps valve, balloon and Over-tube 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)
accessory may pose an infection risk.
Use a cleaned and disinfected (or sterilized) endotherapy device. An
inadequately cleaned and disinfected (or sterilized) endotherapy device
may pose an infection risk.
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) endoscope at a clean
state. If personal protective equipment such as gloves is contaminated,
the contaminants adhere to the endoscope and it can be a source of
infection.
