CAUTION
 Do not apply unnatural force or impact on the insertion portion, bending section, control
portion, LG flexible portion or scope connector. Doing so may cause malfunction of the
endoscope.
 When holding the endoscope, hold it by the control portion. Handling it up by the insertion
portion or LG flexible portion is difficult to hold and may exert an unnatural force, resulting in
instrument failure.
 During an observation, do not perform close observation for an extended period of time.
Use the endoscope with a minimum necessary amount of brightness and time while
maintaining an appropriate distance. Thermal energy created by illumination may cause
burn injury.
 Immediately after detaching the scope connector from the light source, do not touch the
light guide prong with hands since it may be extremely hot. There is a risk of burn injury.
 If the brightness level of the light source or processor is high, the surface temperature at
and around the distal end of the endoscope may exceed 41°C. Do not allow the distal end
to remain in contact with the same site for an extended period of time. It may cause burn
injury.
 Do not directly apply Xylocaine spray to the insertion portion. Do not use olive oil as a
lubricant for insertion. It may cause deterioration of the outer surface.
 Avoid forcible or excessive angulation as this may impose a severely heavy load on the
wire controlling the bending section. This may cause stretching or tearing of the wire.
 The lid of the forceps valve must be closed when using the endoscope. Not doing so can
reduce the efficacy of the endoscope's suction system, making it impossible to perform
aspiration.
 When inserting an endotherapy device, close the lid of the forceps valve. If the lid is open, it
can reduce the efficacy of the endoscope's suction system, making it impossible to perform
aspiration.
 When attaching the suction valve to the suction valve cylinder of the endoscope, align the
recessed and projecting portions and slowly insert the suction valve straight into the suction
valve cylinder of the endoscope. If the suction valve is attached forcibly, it may be
damaged.
 Do not use any lubricants to the air/water valve. It may impair the functionality of the valve
or may clog the channel, diminishing functionality of air/water supply.
 Slowly insert the air/water valve straight into the air/water valve cylinder of the endoscope.
If the air/water valve is attached forcibly, it may be damaged.
 Firmly connect the scope connector of the endoscope and the light source. Do not look into
the connecting part between the endoscope and the light source. Light leaking from the
connecting part may cause damage to the eyes.
 If you encounter any resistance during a procedure, insert the endoscope slowly. Do not
force it in. Do not insert or bend the endoscope without securing the view on the monitor.
Not following the recommendations above may cause endoscope failure or patient injury.
 When the shutter speed is set to "HIGH", take care not to set the brightness level too high.
Thermal energy created by illumination may cause burn injury.
