3.6 Inspecting Ultrasonic Endoscope

3.6.1 Inspecting the Insertion Portion

(1) Visually check the insertion portion (distal end, bending
section and insertion tube) for abnormalities such as
indentations, bumps, sharp edges or protrusions, etc. that
could possibly harm a patient.
Confirm that the resin parts at each end of the bending
section sheath are intact. If the adhesive surfaces are
rough, pitted or flaking, return the instrument to your local
FUJIFILM dealer.
(2) Hold the insertion tube with both hands to make a
semicircle with a diameter of approximately 200 mm,
referring to the figure at right. Then, move the apex of
semicircle sliding insertion tube for full length. Check
that the tube bends fully and there is no local difficulty in
bending it.
[Note]
Do not forcibly twist or bend too sharply the insertion tube
by hands. It could damage the ultrasonic endoscope and/or
negatively affect instrument functionality.
