CAUTION
Do not forcibly advance or withdraw the endoscope into/from the
patient. It may cause damage to the body lumen, bleeding or
perforation.
Do not angulate the bending section forcibly or operate it quickly. It
may cause damage to the body lumen, bleeding or perforation.
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.
[Note] Do not inflate the balloon near the duodenum as doing so may cause complications.
CAUTION
Do not directly apply Xylocaine spray to the insertion portion. It may
cause deterioration of the outer surface. Do not use olive oil as a
lubricant for insertion. It may cause swelling of the outer surface.
[Note] In cases with bleeding, use the light save function of the light source (video
processor). Patient's blood adhering to light guide at the distal end of the endoscope
may be coagulated by the energy of illumination. For details on how to use the
light save function, refer to the operation manual of light source (video processor).
[Note] If any steam like smoke appears in the endoscopic image, or if the endoscopic
image becomes dark, blood or other substances may adhere to the light guide at the
distal end of the endoscope. Withdraw the endoscope from the patient immediately,
remove foreign matter, make sure that the light guide has no abnormality, and then
use the endoscope again. If foreign matter is not removed, the temperature at the
distal end of the endoscope may rise, causing damage to the endoscope or burn
injury to the patient or operator.
