Chapter 3 Preparation and Inspection
Inspection of the distal cover
26
• The distal cover has not been sterilized prior to shipping.
Using a distal cover that has not been disinfected or sterilized
may result in patient infection.
• Should the slightest irregularity be suspected when
inspecting the distal cover, do not use it. A defective distal
cover could fall off during the examination. Continuing the
examination after the distal cover has fallen off may cause
patient injury by the exposed distal end of the endoscope.
• Only the distal cover (MAJ-311) can be used with
TJF-160VR. If the TJF-160VR is used in combination with a
wrong distal cover, it may fall off the distal end during the
examination. Continuing the examination after the distal
cover has fallen off may cause patient injury by the exposed
distal end of the endoscope.
