Applicability of endoscopy and endoscopic treatment

2
These instruments have been designed to be used with an Olympus video
system center, light source, documentation equipment, video monitor,
endo-therapy accessories (such as biopsy forceps) and other ancillary
equipment for endoscopy and endoscopic surgery within the airways and
tracheobronchial tree.
Do not use these instruments for any purpose other than their intended uses.
If there is an official standard on the applicability of endoscopy and endoscopic
treatment that is defined by the medical administration or other official
institutions such as academic societies on endoscopy or pulmonology, follow
that standard. Before starting endoscopy and endoscopic treatment, thoroughly
evaluate its properties, purposes, effects, and possible risk (their natures, extent
and probability). Perform endoscopy and endoscopic treatment only when its
potential benefits are greater than its risks.
Fully explain to the patient the potential benefits and risks of the endoscopy and
endoscopic treatment as well as the examination/treatment methods that can be
performed in its place, and perform the endoscopy and endoscopic treatment
only after obtaining the consent of the patient.
Even after starting the endoscopy and endoscopic treatment, continue to
evaluate the potential benefits and risks, and immediately stop the
endoscopy/treatment and take proper measures if the risks to the patient
become greater than the potential benefits.
