OLYMPUS CAPSULE ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM
Important Information - Please Read Before Use
• Keep the recorder unit, antenna lead set, and real time
viewer away from water, alcohol, and any other liquids.
Liquids entering these components may damage them
and/or result in equipment failure.
• Be sure to use only the specified cables for the connection of
system components.
• Before using the recorder unit, check that no error icon is
displayed on the recorder unit's display panel. If an error icon
is displayed, refer to "Recorder unit error messages" of
Chapter 8, "Troubleshooting" on page 235, to evaluate and
attempt to correct the problem.
• While initializing the recorder unit, do not remove the
recorder unit from the recorder unit cradle or unplug the
recorder unit cradle cable and/or the AC adapter. It may
damage the recorder unit's internal memory.
• The examination cannot proceed if there is insufficient space
on the recorder unit's internal memory. Use the workstation to
initialize the recorder unit in advance.
• While initializing the recorder unit, do not turn OFF the
workstation or the recorder unit. The initialization may be
interrupted.
• The examination cannot proceed if the battery pack is not
fully charged. Use the battery charger to fully charge the
battery pack in advance.
• Start the examination immediately after turning the recorder
unit ON. Failure to do so may result in premature termination
of the examination due to an empty or low battery pack. If the
indicator on the battery pack changes from
the examination, recharge the battery pack, or replace with a
fully-charged battery pack.
• Do not remove the battery pack while the receiver unit's
power is ON. It may cause the recorder unit to break.
• Avoid prolonged use of the system at or below 0°C/32°F. The
capsule endoscope may not be able to operate for 8 hours,
and you may not be able to recharge the battery packs fully.
• Be sure to use the antenna covers when attaching the
antennas. Failure to do so may prevent the proper reception
of capsule endoscope images.
• Perform the examination with all 8 antenna pads attached to
the patient. The examination may fail with even one antenna
pad not properly attached.
