EVIS EXERA GIF/CF/PCF TYPE 160 Series OPERATION MANUAL
• The flexibility of the insertion tube of the CF-Q160AL/I can be
adjusted to less than, equal to or more than that of the
CF-Q140L/I. The flexibility of the insertion tube of the
PCF-160AL/I can be adjusted in equal to or more than that of
the PCF-140L/I. The insertion tube of the endoscope should
be adjusted to the appropriate flexibility for each case.
Always confirm the flexibility of the insertion tube by holding
the insertion tube with two hands before inserting it into the
patient, and adjust the flexibility as necessary according to
the case, region and patient’s condition during an
examination. If you are unsure of the appropriate flexibility of
the insertion tube, set it to the softest condition. Continuing
the examination while the insertion tube is set to an
inappropriate degree of flexibility may cause patient pain
and/or injury.
Set the brightness of the light source to the minimum
necessary to perform the procedure safely. If the endoscope
is used for a prolonged period at or near maximum light
intensity, vapor may be observed in the endoscopic image.
This is caused by the evaporation of organic material
(remaining blood, moisture in stool, etc.) due to heat
generated by the light guide near the light guide lens. If this
vapor continues to interfere with the examination, remove the
endoscope, wipe the distal end of the endoscope with a
lint-free cloth moistened with 70% ethyl or isopropyl alcohol,
reinsert the endoscope and continue the examination.
