LF-TP/DP/GP OPERATION MANUAL
Insertion of the Endoscope
• The shape and size of the nasal cavity and its suitability for
transnasal insertion may vary from patient to patient. No
endoscope, including this one, can always be inserted
transnasally with all patients. Before proceeding, always be
sure to confirm that transnasal insertion is possible with the
patient. Otherwise, operator and/or patient injury can result or
the endoscope could become lodged and be difficult to
withdraw.
• Transnasal insertion of the endoscope should be performed
carefully. If resistance to insertion is felt, or the patient reports
pain, stop insertion immediately. Otherwise, operator and/or
patient injury can result or the endoscope could become
lodged and be difficult to withdraw.
1.
If necessary, apply a medical-grade, water-soluble lubricant to the Insertion
Tube.
Use only water-soluble lubricants to lubricate the Bending
Section. Water-insoluble and/or petroleum-based lubricants
(e.g., Vaseline) can damage the covering of the Bending
Section.
2.
Turn the illumination on.
3.
Always view the endoscopic image when passing the Distal End of the
endoscope from the mouth or nose to the larynx.
Do not allow the Insertion Tube to bend in a radius of 10 cm
or less. Insertion Tube damage can occur (see Figure 4.3).
