Chapter 4 Operation

The operator of this instrument must be a physician or medical personnel under
the supervision of a physician and must have received sufficient training in
clinical endoscopic technique. This manual, therefore, does not explain or
discuss clinical endoscopic procedures. It only describes basic operation and
precautions related to the operation of this instrument.
• Wear personal protective equipment to guard against
dangerous chemicals and potentially infectious material
during the procedure. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment, such as eye wear, face mask, moisture-resistant
clothing and chemical-resistant gloves that fit properly and
are long enough so that your skin is not exposed.
• The temperature of the distal end of the endoscope may
exceed 41°C (106°F) and reach 50°C (122°F) due to intense
endoscopic illumination. Surface temperatures over 41°C
(106°F) may cause mucosal burns. Always use the minimum
level of illumination, minimum time and suitable distance
necessary for adequate viewing. Whenever possible, avoid
close stationary viewing and do not leave the distal end of the
endoscope close to the mucous membrane for a long time.
• Whenever possible, do not leave the endoscope illuminated
before and/or after an examination. Continued illumination
will cause the distal end of the endoscope to become hot and
could cause operator and/or patient burns.
• Turn the video system center ON to operate the light
source's automatic brightness function. When the video
system center is OFF, it cannot operate the light source's
automatic brightness function, and the light intensity is set to
the maximum level. In this case, the distal end of the
endoscope can become hot and could cause operator and/or
patient burns (when using a light source other than
CLV-180).
