EVIS EXERA II TJF TYPE Q180V OPERATION MANUAL
Important Information — Please Read Before Use
• Never operate the bending section, feed air or perform
suction, insert or withdraw the endoscope's insertion section,
or use EndoTherapy accessories without viewing the
endoscopic image. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation
may result.
• Never operate the bending section, feed air or perform
suction, insert or withdraw the endoscope's insertion section,
or use EndoTherapy accessories while the image is frozen.
Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result.
• Never insert or withdraw the insertion section abruptly or with
excessive force. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation
may result.
• If it is difficult to insert the endoscope, do not forcibly insert
the endoscope; stop the endoscopy. Forcible insertion can
result in patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation.
• Never insert or withdraw the endoscope's insertion section or
use EndoTherapy accessories while the image is magnified.
Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation can result (when
using the image magnification function of the video system
center).
• Do not touch the light guide on the endoscope connector
immediately after removing it from the light source because it
is extremely hot. Operator or patient burns can result.
• When the endoscopic image does not appear on the monitor,
the CCD may have been damaged. Turn the video system
center OFF immediately. Continued power supply in such a
case will cause the distal end to become hot and could cause
operator and/or patient burns.
• Do not rely on the NBI observation mode alone for primary
detection of lesions or to make a decision regarding any
potential diagnostic or therapeutic intervention.
• Do not pull the universal cord during an examination. The
endoscope connector will be pulled out from the output
socket of the light source and the endoscopic image will not
be visible.
• Do not coil the insertion tube or universal cord with a
diameter of less than 12 cm. Equipment damage can result.
• Do not attempt to bend the endoscope's insertion section
with excessive force. Otherwise, the insertion section may be
damaged.
