1.3.4 Direct Harm to Human Body
WARNING
Use the air/water channel cleaning adapter CA-611 only for cleaning
the air/water channel. If it is used during an examination or treatment,
continuous air supply may occur and cause patient injury.
Do not supply an excessive amount of air or gas during the procedure
as doing so could cause an embolism. Do not overinsufflate during any
clinical procedure to minimize the potential for pneumatic perforation.
To avoid the potential for patient injury including perforation, do not
apply excessive force of the endoscope or endotherapy device against
mucosal surfaces. Only advance the endotherapy device under direct
visualization.
Do not angulate the bending section or insert the endoscope while
an endotherapy device is out of the distal end. Doing so may cause
the endotherapy device to be pressed against the mucosal surfaces,
resulting in bleeding or perforation.
CAUTION
During an observation, do not perform close observation for an
extended period of time. Use the endoscope with a minimum
necessary amount of brightness and time while maintaining an
appropriate distance. When the shutter speed is set to "HIGH", take
care not to set the brightness level too high. Thermal energy created
by illumination may cause burn injury. For details on the settings, refer
to the operation manual of the light source and video processor in use.
If the brightness level is high, the temperature at the distal end may
exceed 41°C. Do not allow the distal end to remain in contact with the
same site for an extended period of time. It may cause burn injury.
Immediately after removing the LG connector from the light source, do
not touch the light guide rod with hands since it is extremely hot. There
is a risk of burn injury.
