If the endoscope is visibly damaged, does not function as expected, or is found
to have irregularities during the inspection described in Chapter 3, "Preparation
and Inspection", do not use the endoscope. Contact Olympus.
Some problems that appear to be malfunctions may be correctable by referring

due to equipment damage or failure, stop using the
endoscope immediately and retrieve the parts in an
appropriate way.

observed during use, stop the examination immediately and carefully withdraw
the endoscope from the patient as described in Section 10.2, "Withdrawal of the
