supplemented by the warnings and cautions given in each chapter.
WARNING
• After using this endoscope, reprocess and store it according to the instructions
given in the endoscope’s companion “REPROCESSING MANUAL” with your
endoscope model listed on the cover. Using improperly or incompletely
reprocessed or stored instruments may cause patient cross-contamination and/or
infection.
• Do not strike, hit, or drop the endoscope’s distal end, insertion tube, bending
section, control section, universal cord, video connector, or light guide connector.
Also, do not bend, pull, or twist the endoscope’s distal end, insertion tube, bending
section, control section, universal cord, video connector, or light guide connector
with excessive force. The endoscope may be damaged and could cause patient
injury, burns, bleeding, and/or perforations. It could also cause parts of the
endoscope to fall off inside the patient.
• Never perform angulation control forcibly or abruptly. Never forcefully pull, twist, or
rotate the angulated bending section. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation
may result. It may also become impossible to straighten the bending section during
an examination.
• Never insert or withdraw the endoscope’s insertion section while the bending
section is locked. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result.
• Never operate the bending section, insert or withdraw the endoscope’s insertion
section without viewing the endoscopic image. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or
perforation may result.
• Never insert or withdraw the insertion section or perform angulation control while
the image is frozen. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result.
• If it is difficult to insert the endoscope, do not forcibly insert the endoscope; stop the
endoscopy. Forcible insertion can result in patient injury, bleeding, and/or
perforation.
• Never insert or withdraw the insertion section abruptly or with excessive force.
Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result.
• Do not touch the light guide on the light guide connector immediately after
removing it from the light source because it is extremely hot. Operator or patient
burns can result.
