could result in patient injury, bleeding and/or perforation.
• If an abnormal endoscopic image or function is observed, but
quickly corrects itself, the endoscope may have
malfunctioned. Continuous use of such an endoscope may
cause the abnormality to occur again, at which time it may
not return to the normal condition. In this case, stop the
examination immediately and slowly withdraw the endoscope
while viewing the endoscopic image. Otherwise, patient
injury, bleeding and/or perforation can result.
• Never perform flexibility adjustment while the endo-therapy
accessory extends from the distal end of the endoscope.
Patient injury, bleeding and/or perforation can result (for
endoscopes with flexibility adjustment only).
• Regardless of the flexibility of the endoscope's insertion tube,
it can cause patient injury, bleeding and/or perforation if it is
forcibly inserted, withdrawn and/or twisted with excessive
force. It is generally believed that an endoscope with a
more-rigid insertion tube is easier to manipulate in the
intestines if used properly. However, it should be noted that
such an endoscope, if used improperly, is more likely to
cause patient pain, injury, bleeding and/or perforation than
an endoscope with a more flexible insertion tube
(for endoscopes with flexibility adjustment only).
