the endoscope provides a live image (rather than a stored
one) and has the correct image orientation. Patient injury,
bleeding, and/or perforation could result.
•When the endoscopic image does not appear on the monitor,
the CCD may have been damaged. Turn the video system
center OFF immediately. Continued power supply in such a
case will cause the distal end to become hot and could cause
operator and/or patient burns.
•Turn ON the diagnostic ultrasound system only when the
ultrasonic cable is connected to both the diagnostic
ultrasound system and the ultrasonic cable connector on the
endoscope. In particular, confirm that the diagnostic
ultrasound system is OFF before connecting or
disconnecting the ultrasonic cable from the ultrasonic cable
connector on the endoscope. Operator injury may result
and/or equipment damage may result.
•Do not rely on the NBI observation mode alone for primary
detection of lesions or to make a decision regarding any
potential diagnostic or therapeutic intervention.
•Never withdraw the endoscope while the balloon is still
inflated. Otherwise, the balloon may burst or detach from the
distal end of the endoscope. If the balloon cannot be
deflated, insert the channel cleaning brush (BW-7L) into the

ULTRASOUND GASTROVIDEOSCOPE GF-UCT180
Important Information — Please Read Before Use
•To prevent unnecessary patient exposure to ultrasound
radiation, follow the ‘as-low-as-reasonably achievable’
(ALARA) principle when using ultrasound equipment. Freeze
the image whenever you are not actively viewing the “live”
ultrasound image. When the equipment is in the FREEZE
mode, no ultrasound energy is emitted.
•It is highly recommended that a backup ultrasonic cable be
available to continue clinical procedures in case of a
malfunction.
•This endoscope contains a memory chip that stores
information about the endoscope and communicates this
information to the video system center CV-160 and CV-180.
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 described below.
•Over-insufflating the lumen may cause patient pain, injury, bleeding,
and/or perforation.
•Applying suction with the distal end in prolonged contact with the
mucosal surface, with higher suction pressure than required, or with
prolonged suction time may cause bleeding and/or lesions.
•The endoscope has not been designed for use in retroflexed
observation in parts of the body other than the stomach. 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. Retroflexed observation in parts of the body
other than the stomach 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, burns, bleeding,
and/or perforation.
•Inserting or withdrawing the endoscope, feeding air, applying suction, or
operating the bending section without a clear endoscopic image may
cause patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation.

•For reasons described below, do not rely on the NBI
alone for primary detection of lesions or to make a decision regarding
any potential diagnostic or therapeutic intervention.
NBI has not been demonstrated to increase the yield or
sensitivity of finding any specific mucosal lesion including
colonic polyps or Barrett’s esophagus.
NBI has not been demonstrated to aid in differentiating
establishing the presence or absence of dysplasia or
neoplastic changes within mucosa or mucosal lesions.
