EVIS EXERA II GIF/CF/PCF TYPE 180 Series OPERATION MANUAL
Laser cauterization treatment (except GIF-N180)
• Performing treatment while the intestines is filled with a
flammable gas could result in an explosion, fire and/or
serious patient injury. If the intestines contains a flammable
gas, replace it with air or a non-flammable gas such as CO
2
before performing laser cauterization treatment.
• To avoid patient injury, burns, bleeding and/or perforation as
well as damage to the endoscope, do not activate laser
radiation before confirming that the tip of the laser probe
appears in the proper position in the endoscopic image. Keep
an appropriate distance between the target and the
endoscope’s distal end and always use the lowest power
output possible.
• Before inserting or withdrawing the laser probe, return the
UP/DOWN and RIGHT/LEFT angulation control knobs to
their neutral positions (see Figure 3.6 on page 41) so that the
bending section will be straight. If it is bent, the instrument
channel and/or the laser probe may be damaged.
• Allow the tip of the laser probe to cool down before pulling it
back into the instrument channel. If the laser probe is
withdrawn while hot, channel damage may occur.
• Do not use a damaged laser probe. A laser probe with a
damaged sheath or distal end may cause patient injury
and/or equipment damage.
Prepare, inspect and connect the laser unit and laser probe as described in their
instruction manuals.
