WARNING
• If it becomes impossible to withdraw the transnasally inserted endoscope, pull its
distal end out of the mouth, cut the flexible tube using wire cutters, and after
ensuring that the cut section will not injure the body cavity or nasal cavity of the
patient, withdraw the endoscope carefully. Therefore, always prepare wire cutters
in advance.
• If the endoscope cannot be withdrawn from the patient smoothly, do not attempt to
forcibly withdraw. Rather, withdraw the endoscope carefully. If the endoscope
cannot be withdrawn from the patient, consider removing it through open surgery
and take proper measures. Forcibly withdrawing the endoscope may cause patient
injury, bleeding, and/or perforation. If any irregularities with the endoscope are
observed, contact Olympus.
• Straighten the bending section in advance before withdrawing the endoscope from
the patient.
