Chapter 1 Precautions
WARNING
 The endoscopic image may flicker while switching between normal light observation mode
and special light observation mode. Therefore, do not perform any endoscopic operation or
treatment while switching between normal light observation mode and special light
observation mode. Otherwise, injury to tissues in the body cavity, bleeding and/or
perforation may result.
 Do not forcibly turn the angulation knob further after turning the knob until it stops. If the
angulation knob is forcibly turned, the angulation mechanism may malfunction and the
bending section may not return to its neutral position, making it difficult to withdraw the
endoscope.
 If the bending section does not return to its neutral position during a procedure, do not
withdraw the endoscope forcibly. Consult your local FUJIFILM dealer. If the endoscope is
withdrawn forcibly, injury to tissues in the body cavity, bleeding and/or perforation may
result.
 Be extremely careful when performing retroflexed observation in a narrow lumen. Do not
perform retroflexed observation forcibly. Otherwise, it may become impossible to straighten
the angle of the bending section and/or withdraw the endoscope from the patient.
 Avoid aspirating solid materials or thick fluids. If the suction valve does not return to its
original position, stop aspiration immediately and slowly withdraw the endoscope. If any
solid materials or thick fluids adhere to or clog the suction valve, suction may not stop,
causing damage to mucous membrane.
 When injecting fluids by attaching a syringe to the forceps valve, open the lid of the forceps
valve and insert the syringe straight into the forceps valve. Otherwise, the forceps valve
may be damaged or the syringe may be accidentally detached during fluid injection and
body fluids may leak or splash from the forceps valve, posing an infection control risk to the
patient or end-user.
 Do not strongly press the endotherapy device against tissues in the body cavity. Otherwise,
injury to tissues in the body cavity, bleeding and/or perforation may result.
 Unless the endoscope's bending section is in a neutral position (essentially "straight"), do
not withdraw the endoscope whenever the endoscopic image is compromised, unclear,
blurry, etc. due to any reason or condition including loss of image, power interruption, water
droplets or dirt/debris adhering to the objective lens, etc. Doing so may cause injury to
tissues in the body cavity, bleeding and/or perforation.
 Firmly connect the scope connector of the endoscope and the light source. If the scope
connector is not connected properly, the endoscopic image may flicker or be lost, which
may cause patient injury, bleeding and/or perforation.
 Never use endotherapy devices, insert or withdraw the endoscope, or perform water jet
operation or flexibility adjustment while viewing an image in special light observation mode.
Otherwise, injury to tissues in the body cavity, bleeding and/or perforation may result.
CAUTION
