Operation
Top-Line Video Endoscope
6.5 Inserting the Video Endoscope
Before inserting the flexible probe into the cavity to be examined, ensure that the probe tip is straight and the
locking is not engaged.

i
Make sure that the probe tip can be moved freely with the control levers.
The more flexible probe is bent or coiled, the less the probe tip can be moved. Maximum articulation is pos-
sible when the flexible probe is relatively straight.
When the locking is not engaged, their control lever is loose and will move freely. Lock the control lever by
pushing the lever to the resistance.
Turn the light source on to maximum brightness.
With the probe tip in the straight-ahead position, slowly begin to insert the video endoscope into the cav-
ity to be examined.
Fig. 13 Inserting the flexible probe into the cavity
Watch the image on the video display to see where the video endoscope is pointed and guide the probe
tip in the inspection area.
If a bend must be negotiated, articulate the probe tip in the direction of the bend to keep the probe tip from
bending. If the video endoscope is obstructed by objects or bending, rotate the flexible probe back and forth
while moving it forward.
The rotations help to overcome disablements on the edges of the devices.
Continue guiding the video endoscope forward until the target area is visible on the display.
