WARNING
• When inserting an EndoTherapy accessory, hold it close to the biopsy valve and
insert it slowly and straight into the biopsy valve. Otherwise, the EndoTherapy
accessory and/or biopsy valve could be damaged. This can reduce the efficacy of
the endoscope's suction system and may leak or spray patient debris or fluids,
posing an infection control risk.
CAUTION
• When the bending section of the endoscope angulates significantly and insertion of
an EndoTherapy accessory becomes very difficult, straighten the bending section
as much as possible. Inserting the EndoTherapy accessory with excessive force
may damage the instrument channel and/or the EndoTherapy accessory.
• Hold the EndoTherapy accessory close to the slit of the biopsy valve and insert it
straight into the slit using slow short strokes. Otherwise, the EndoTherapy
accessory could bend or break.
• Do not open the tip of the EndoTherapy accessory or extend the tip of the
EndoTherapy accessory from its sheath while the accessory is in the instrument
channel. The instrument channel and/or the EndoTherapy accessory may become
damaged.
• When the endoscope is bent at a sharp angle and the bending section and/or the
insertion tube appear in the endoscopic image, be sure not to extend the
EndoTherapy accessory from distal end of the endoscope. Equipment damage
may result.
