immediately after removing it from the light source because it
is extremely hot. Operator or patient injury may result.
•Regardless of the flexibility of the endoscope’s insertion
section, do not attempt to bend it with excessive force.
Otherwise, patient injury may result.
•This endoscope is not intended for fetal use.
•Before use, clean and disinfect or sterilize the endoscope as
described in Chapter 5 through 8 of this manual.

Important Information — Please Read Before Use
•Never perform high-suction continuously. Patient injury can
result.
•Never tie the elastic opening of both sides of the balloon with
a thread. This may cause the balloon to rupture or detach
from the distal end of the endoscope when inflating it, and
could result in patient injury.
•Never inflate the balloon to a diameter of more than 20 mm
when using the endoscope in the trachea. This could result in
suffocation of the patient.
•Never withdraw the endoscope while the balloon is still
inflated. Otherwise, the balloon may burst or det a ch from th e
distal end of the endoscope. If the balloon cannot be
deflated, insert the channel cleaning brush (BW-7B) into the
irrigation port. Using slow , short strokes, carefully feed the
brush to remove debris.
•When withdrawing the endoscope, make sure that the
balloon is completely deflated, using the ultrasonic image
and endoscopic field of view. Withdrawing the endoscope
while the balloon is inflated could result in patient injury.
•Transnasal insertion is accompanied by the risk of
inflammation of the nasal cavity. If this happens, the nasal
passage will be constricted, making it more difficult to
withdraw the endoscope. In this case, do not use force to
withdraw the endoscope because patient injury such as
bleeding or perforation may result.
•Transnasal insertion is accompanied by the risk of bleeding
in the nasal cavity. Be sure to be prepared to deal with any
bleeding. When withdrawing the endoscope, observe the
inside of the nasal cavity to ensure that there is no bleeding.
Even when the endoscope has been withdrawn without
bleeding, do not allow the patient to blow his or her nose
strongly because this could cause it to start bleeding.
•Before transnasal insertion, apply the appropriate
pretreatment and lubrication to the patient to enla rg e th e
nasal cavity. Otherwise, patient injury can result or the
endoscope could become lodged and be difficu lt to withdraw.
Otherwise, the treatment will have no effect. The effects of
the pretreatment agent and lubricant will decrease the longer
the procedure lasts. Apply the pretreatment agent or lubricant
as required during the procedure
withdrawal seems to be difficult.

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 or incompletely reprocessed or stored instruments
may cause patient cross-contamination and infection.
•Applying prolonged suction with the distal end in contact with the
mucosal surface with higher suction pressure than required or with
prolonged suction time may cause bleeding or suction lesions.
•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 angle of the bending section and/or
withdraw the endoscope from the patient. In case the patient move s due
to coughing and other reasons while the endoscope is angulated in the
narrow lumen, the bending section of the endoscope may be pushed
into the lumen and be retroflexed. Pretreatment to control patient’s
coughing reflex and other possible unexpected moves is the
responsibility of trained specialists. Retroflexed observation should be
performed only when the usefulness of doing so is determined to be
greater than the risk that is posed to the patient.
•Inserting, withdrawing and using EndoTherapy accessories without a
clear endoscopic image may cause patient injury.
•Patient injury may be caused by inserting or withdrawing the endoscope
or applying suction without a clear endoscopic image.
