WARNING
Insert and withdraw the endoscope or Over-tube slowly. Slowly insert
the Over-tube so as not to have the intestinal tract caught in a gap
between the endoscope and Over-tube. When holding the Over-
tube, take care not to fold or crush the air feed inlet (clear tube). Do
not press the endoscope or Over-tube strongly onto the walls of the
digestive tract. Do not insert or withdraw the endoscope or Over-tube
with the balloon inflated. It may damage to the walls of the digestive
tract, causing perforation.
Make sure that water never enters the balloon air feed inlet (clear tube)
of the Over-tube or the balloon air feed inlet of the endoscope. Inflation
or deflation of the balloon with the balloon controller may become
impossible, damaging the walls of the digestive tract.
Use of devices such as endoscopic/enteroscopy overtubes may be
associated with potential complications including but not limited to
mucosal trauma, pancreatitis and/or hyperamylasemia. Users are
encouraged to closely monitor patients for such complications during
and after procedures and to appropriately treat patients as required.
