EVIS EXERA GIF/CF/PCF TYPE 160 Series OPERATION MANUAL
• If the distal end of an endo-therapy accessory is not visible in
the endoscopic image, do not open the distal end or extend
the needle of the instrument. This could cause patient injury,
bleeding, perforation and/or equipment damage.
• When using a biopsy forceps with a needle, confirm that the
needle is not bent excessively. A bent needle could protrude
from the closed cups of the biopsy forceps. Using such a
biopsy forceps could damage the instrument channel and/or
cause patient injury.
• When using an injector, be sure not to extend or retract the
needle from the catheter of the injector until the injector is
extended from the distal end of the endoscope. The needle
could damage the instrument channel if extended inside the
channel, or if the injector is inserted or withdrawn while the
needle is extended.
Insertion of endo-therapy accessories into the endoscope
• Do not insert endo-therapy accessories forcibly or abruptly.
Otherwise, the endo-therapy accessory may extend from the
distal end of the endoscope abruptly, which could cause
patient injury, bleeding and/or perforation.
• When using the endo-therapy accessory with the cap of the
biopsy valve detached, it is easier to insert the accessory.
But, as a result, it can reduce efficacy of the endoscope’s
suction system, and may leak or spray patient debris or
fluids, posing an infection control risk. When not using the
endo-therapy accessory, attach the cap to the main body of
the biopsy valve.
• When the cap of the biopsy valve is detached, it may cause
patient debris or fluids to leak or spray from the endoscope,
posing an infection control risk. When the valve is uncapped,
place a piece of sterile gauze over it to prevent leakage.
• Do not let the endo-therapy accessory ‘hang down’ from the
biopsy valve. Doing so can create a space between the
accessory and the valve’s slit or hole and/or damage the
valve, which can reduce the efficacy of the endoscope’s
suction system, and may leak or spray patient debris or
fluids, posing an infection-control risk.
