Holding and manipulating the endoscope
The control section of the endoscope is designed to be held in the left hand. The
air/water and suction valves can be operated using the left index finger. The
UP/DOWN angulation control knob and the elevator control lever can be
operated using the left thumb. The right hand is free to manipulate the insertion
section and the RIGHT/LEFT angulation control knob (see Figure 4.1).
Figure 4.1
Insertion of the endoscope
Keep the elevator control lever moved all the way in the
opposite direction of the “
U” direction while inserting or
withdrawing the endoscope into or from the patient. If the
elevator control lever is moved in the “
U” direction until the
operator feels heavy and the forceps elevator is raised while
inserting or withdrawing the endoscope into or from the
patient, this may cause patient injury.
• To prevent the patient from biting the insertion section during
an examination, it is strongly recommended that a
mouthpiece be placed in the patient’s mouth before inserting
the endoscope.
• To prevent the patient from accidentally loosening a dental
prosthesis, make sure that the patient removes it before the
examination.
