LF-TP/DP/GP OPERATION MANUAL
• This instrument has not been designed to be used with
Endo-Therapy Accessories. Using Endo-Therapy
Accessories can damage the endoscope.
• Do not coil the Insertion Tube with a diameter of less than 10
cm. Equipment damage can result.
• Do not strike the Distal End of the Insertion Tube or allow it to
strike other objects. The objective lens surface of the Distal
End is particularly fragile, and vision abnormalities may
result.
• Do not twist or bend the Bending Section by hands.
Equipment damage may result.
• Do not squeeze the Bending Section forcefully. The Bending
Section’s covering may stretch or break and cause water
leaks.
• The eyepiece section cannot be removed. Do not attempt to
rotate it by force.
Examples of inappropriate handling
Details on clinical endoscopic technique are the responsibility of trained
specialists. Patient safety in endoscopic examinations and endoscopic treatment
can be ensured through appropriate handling by the physician and the medical
facility. Examples of inappropriate handling are given below.
• Using improperly reprocessed or stored instruments may cause patient
cross-contamination and/or infection.
• Applying prolonged suction with the Distal End in contact with the
mucosal surface may cause bleeding or suction lesions.
• Patient injury may be caused by; inserting or withdrawing the
endoscope, applying suction without a clear endoscopic view; forcefully
pulling, twisting or rotating the angulated Bending Section.
• The endoscope has not been designed for use in retroflexed
observation. Performing retroflexed observation in a narrow lumen may
make it impossible to straighten the bending section and/or withdraw the
endoscope from the patient.
