EVIS EXERA GIF/CF/PCF TYPE 160 Series OPERATION MANUAL
• Never insert or withdraw the endoscope under any of the
following conditions. Otherwise, patient injury can result.
−
Insertion or withdrawal while the endo-therapy accessory
extends from the distal end of the endoscope.
−
Insertion or withdrawal while the bending section is locked
in position.
−
Insertion or withdrawal with excessive force, or forcible
insertion or withdrawal.
• If any of the following phenomena occur during an
examination, immediately stop the examination and withdraw
the endoscope from the patient as described in Section 5.2,
“Withdrawal of the endoscope with an abnormality”.
−
If any abnormality is suspected with the functionality of
the endoscope.
−
If the endoscopic image on the video monitor disappears
or freezes unexpectedly.
−
If the angulation control mechanism is not functioning
properly.
−
If the flexibility adjustment ring becomes jammed.
Continued use of the endoscope under these conditions
could result in patient injury.
• If an abnormal endoscopic image/function occurs and returns
to its normal condition by itself, the endoscope has
malfunctioned. In this case, stop using the endoscope
because the abnormality can occur again and may not return
to its normal condition. Therefore, stop the examination
immediately and slowly withdraw the endoscope while
viewing the endoscopic image. Otherwise, patient injury can
result.
• Never insert or withdraw the endoscope’s insertion tube or
perform flexibility adjustment while the endo-therapy
accessory extends from the distal end of the endoscope.
Patient injury can result.
• Regardless of the flexibility of the endoscope’s insertion tube,
it can cause patient injury if it is forcibly inserted, withdrawn
and/or twisted with excessive force. It is generally believed
that an endoscope with a stiffer insertion tube can control the
intestines more easily provided that it is used properly.
However, it should be noted that such an endoscope, if used
improperly, is more likely to cause patient pain and/or injury
than an endoscope with a softer insertion tube.
