EVIS EXERA II GIF/CF/PCF TYPE 180 Series OPERATION MANUAL
If an abnormality occurs while the endoscope is in use, take a proper measure
as described in either "When the endoscopic image appears on the monitor" or
"When the endoscopic image does not appear on the monitor or a frozen image
cannot be restored" on page 85 below. After withdrawal, return the endoscope
for repair as described in Section 5.3, "Returning the endoscope for repair" on
page 86.
If the endoscope or endo-therapy accessory cannot be
withdrawn from the patient smoothly, do not attempt to
forcibly withdraw it. If any irregularities are suspected,
immediately contact Olympus. Forcibly withdrawing the
endoscope or endo-therapy accessory may cause patient
injury, bleeding and/or perforation.
