4-1 PROCESSOR FUNCTIONS

NOTE -Check the lamp life indicator on the front panel. If red, a lamp should be replaced before beginning a procedure.
-Before turning the processor ON, ensure the air flow vents are not obstructed.
WARNING - After 400 hours of use, the image quality will deteriorate. Excessive use of the lamp beyond 400 hours
(approaching a thousand hours of use or more) could cause the lamp to explode resulting in damage to the video processor.
NOTE -The lamp life rated at 400 hours, is applicable to the EPK-1000 processor with serial number beginning with UB and EB.

(1) MAIN LAMP

Turn ON the lamp switch to ignite main lamp and the LED on the lamp switch. The light will be emitted from the distal end of
the endoscope. When the procedure is completed, turn OFF the lamp. If the lamp fails to ignite and the LED flashes, do NOT
attempt to perform an endoscopic procedure.
-Aside from the pre-use inspection of the equipment, the lamp in the video processor should be turned OFF when the
NOTE
video system is not clinically used.

(2) AUXILIARY LAMP

If the LED on the lamp switch is flashing , it indicates that main lamp is burnt out or there is a lamp failure. The message
"PUSH LAMP SWITCH" will be displayed on the monitor screen. While this error message is displayed, all function keys
(except the lamp switch) are deactivated. To ignite the lamp, press the "LAMP SWITCH" - do NOT push the "POWER
SWITCH" - while the LED is flashing. The auxiliary lamp and the LED will light.
Do NOT attempt to perform an endoscopic examination with auxiliary lamp. The auxiliary lamp is intended to assist in the safe
withdrawal of the endoscope in the event that the main lamp fails to ignite during a procedure. After igniting the auxiliary lamp,
return the endoscope to the neutral position and slowly withdraw the endoscope under controlled visualization by the auxiliary lamp.
The auxiliary lamp can be turned OFF by pressing the switch or by turning the processor OFF.
WARNING - The auxiliary lamp is intended to provide sufficient visualization to withdraw the endoscope, should the main
lamp fail. Do NOT attempt to perform an endoscopic examination with the auxiliary lamp.
-The auxiliary lamp is incorporated to the processor with serial number beginning with UB and EB.
NOTE
- The auxiliary lamp in the EPK-1000 incorporates a LED which is recognized as a class 2 laser product by
CAUTION
IEC60825-1. Emission from the endoscope distal tip into the human body is at a level lower than class 2 as long as the lamp and
all associated finished products are used properly according to provided instructions. To protect user's eyes, avoid looking
directly at the light exiting the endoscope and/or the processor.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
