3. DIRECTIONS FOR USE

WARNING:
This instrument should only be used by physicians who have thoroughly
studied all the characteristics of this instrument and who are familiar with
the proper techniques of endoscopy. There is a possibility of backflow and/
or spit-back of patient fluids, chemicals, etc. from the Instrument Channel
Inlet or the Suction Control Valve. During the procedure, always wear
protective garments such as gloves, gowns, face masks, etc. to minimize
the risk of cross contamination.
WARNING:
When using this instrument on a patient with invasive medical device such
as pacemaker, consult a physician specialized in the field to determine
whether the use of this instrument is safe by taking all factors into
consideration.
WARNING:
Because of the leakage current from the endoscope, there is a possibility
of electric shock if any part of the skin comes in contact with exposed
metallic surfaces of an endoscope while using an electrosurgical device. Be
sure to wear protective rubber gloves during endoscopic examinations to
prevent the skin from contacting the metallic surfaces of an endoscope.
WARNING:
Do not use a water supply device that can exert 30kPa or greater of
water pressure to the suction channel (suction valve) during endoscopic
examination. Failure to do so could result in the potential for reflux (spit-
back) of patient fluids through an unsealed path due to any looseness/
missing in the installed valve.
