WARNING: The user of this equipment should be thoroughly trained in the
medical procedures appropriate to the equipment. Furthermore, time should
be taken to read and understand these instructions before performing any
procedures. Instructions for other equipment used in conjunction with any
VideoPath Proximal Video Camera (e.g. light sources) should also be read
and understood. Failure to do so may result in injury to the patient and/or
damage to the instrument.
While this manual describes the recommended protocol for inspecting and
operating the equipment, it does not outline procedural techniques.
CAUTION: Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by/to or on the
order of a physician or other appropriately licensed medical professional.

Preparation and Inspection for Use
Prior To Initial Use
Before preparation and set-up of this equipment, check all components received
against the list of components (see Components section) to verify a complete set.
If parts are missing, please notify Welch Allyn. Review the nomenclature, set-up,
operations and cleaning sections to become familiar with the equipment.
Specifically inspect:
VideoPath®Proximal Video Camera
Camera Head – for any cracks, dents, scratches and debris.
Camera head cable – for any dents, tears or cracks.
Light guide connector – for any cracks, dents, scratches and debris.
Light Source
Cabinet – for any dents, scratches or other abnormalities.

Operations
The methods and techniques of endoscopy are well-defined and documented.
Endoscopy training seminars and preceptor programs are also in existence worldwide. No attempt is made in this manual to outline any medical procedures. Before
beginning a procedure, the physician should be familiar with it and all possible
relative contraindications.
1. Plug the VideoPath
scope connector port of the light source. The Video Camera connector terminal
should fully engage and “click” into place.
2. Activate the Power switch on the front panel. The green Lamp Ignition/Stand-By
light will blink for approximately 11 seconds. Once the LED stops blinking, the
lamps are ready to be ignited.

4. Press the Lamp Ignition Switch. The lamps will ignite and the Lamp Ignition/
Standby light will go out. The lamps require 11 seconds to warm up. This length
of time will be indicated by the center LED of the Picture Brightness Indicator,
which blinks until the lamps are fully warmed up, and the system is ready for use.

WARNING: Once lamps have been lit, do not remove the instrument
from the light source without turning the main power switch off or putting
the lamps on Stand-By by pressing the Lamp Ignition switch. If the VideoPath Proximal Video Camera is removed from the light source, avoid
looking directly into the intense light provided by the light source to
prevent damage to your eyes.

6. Connect Video Coupler to the eyepiece of
the endoscope. Secure coupler/eyepiece
connection by tightening the thumbscrew
on the coupler.

8. After white balancing is completed, focus the image
by adjusting the focusing ring on the video coupler.
7. White balance the VideoPath Proximal Video
Camera by aiming the distal tip of the endoscope at a white surface at a distance of one
to two inches. Momentarly depress the white
balance button on the Proximal Video Camera
light source connector. Continue aiming the
endoscope at the white surface until the image
flickers. Once the image flickers, the system
has been properly white balanced.
Thumb Screw
Focusing Ring
9. After the image has been properly focused, it may be necessar y to further adjust
the color. The VideoPath Proximal Video Camera has been preset at the factory
for optimal picture quality and performance. Monitors can vary and therefore may
require some fine tuning. This can be accomplished by using the controls on the
monitor.
In some cases, it may be necessary to reduce the moire effect. Moire is a phenomenon caused by an interference pixel pattern between a fiberscope and a
CCD imager, and can be controlled by either slightly defocusing the image or
by rotating the video coupler with respect to the eyepiece of the fiberscope.
The system is now functional. Illumination level is controlled automatically by an
electronic shuttering system built into the VideoPath.

PC-20 (Model 65180):
Function Control Switches – The function control switches can be used to control
a peripheral video printer. The RS-232 cable must be attached from the light source
(Model VLX-20) to the video printer. The controls are as follows:
F - Freezes the image
C - Prints the image
V - Returns the system to a live video image
By utilizing these switches, the image may be captured and printed for later
observation.
Electrosurgery
The user must read and understand all the instructions in the operating manuals supplied with the electrosurgical generator and associated accessories. All electrosurgical
equipment must be thoroughly inspected prior to use. Only the user can determine if
the condition of the electrosurgical generator and accessories is correct and safe for
clinical use. The active portion of the electrosurgical accessory should always be
clearly visualized before applying electrical energy to the instrument.
Caution: The chassis of the high frequency surgical equipment, if accessible, should be connected to the Equipotentiality Terminal of the VLX-20 Light
Source to eliminate the potential of RF voltage potential between the two
devices during electrosurgery.
1. The recurring peak voltage of the high frequency surgical equipment used should
not exceed 300 Volts in any mode of operation.
2. Avoid the use of high frequency endoscopically-used accessories in the presence of
flammable anesthetics or explosive gas concentrations.

Cleaning and Disinfection
Immediately after the endoscope is removed from the patient, put the lamps on
stand-by by pressing the lamp ignition/standby switch. This will help maximize
lamp life. Next, disconnect the video coupler from the eyepiece of the endoscope.
The VideoPath Proximal Video Camera system and all video couplers should be
properly cleaned. Any debris should be wiped from the coupler, camera head and
cable with a soft lint-free cloth moistened with mild soap and water. An enzymatic
detergent may also be used. See the list below for compatible detergents. (Follow
the dilution instructions provided by the manufacturer.)
