appear on the monitor", "Withdrawal when either the WLI or the NBI endoscopic
image does not appear on the monitor", or "Withdrawal when no endoscopic
image appears on the monitor or a frozen image cannot be restored" below. After
withdrawal, return the endoscope for repair as described in Section 5.3,

If the endoscope or EndoTherapy accessory cannot be
withdrawn from the patient smoothly, do not attempt to

withdrawing the endoscope or EndoTherapy accessory may
cause patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation. If any
irregularities with the scope are observed, contact Olympus.
