interrupted due to equipment failure or malfunction.

medical equipment maintenance in each hospital should inspect the items
specified in this manual periodically. An endoscope with which an irregularity is
suspected should not be used, but should be inspected by following Section 5.1,
"Troubleshooting guide" on page 79. If the irregularity is still suspected after
inspection, contact Olympus.
