4.3 Treatment
WARNING
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.
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 If it is inserted or withdrawn quickly, body fluid may be splattered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.
CAUTION
If resistance is encountered while advancing a forceps (or endotherapy
device) within the instrument channel, stop and withdraw the forceps (or
endotherapy device). Repeat again, but do not apply excessive force
to avoid damaging the endoscope.
[Note] Occasionally, a forceps or endotherapy device can encounter difficulty while
attempting to pass through an angulated bending section. In such case, reduce
the angulation in the bending section a little and try to advance the forceps or
endotherapy device again.
For information on handling an endotherapy device, refer to the manual of an endotherapy
device.
Use an endotherapy device given in “Main Specification.”
