EVIS EXERA TJF TYPE 160VR OPERATION MANUAL
•
Never insert or withdraw the endoscope under any of the
following conditions. Otherwise, patient injury, bleeding
and/or perforation can result.
− Insertion or withdrawal while the endo-therapy accessory
extends from the distal end of the endoscope.
− Insertion or withdrawal while the bending section is locked
in position.
− Insertion or withdrawal with excessive force.
− Insertion or withdrawal while the forceps elevator is
raised.
•
If any of the following phenomena occur during an
examination, immediately stop the examination and withdraw
the endoscope from the patient as described in Section 5.2,
"Withdrawal of the endoscope with an abnormality".
− If any abnormality is suspected with the functionality of
the endoscope.
− If the endoscopic image on the video monitor disappears
or freezes unexpectedly.
− If the angulation control knob is locked.
− If the angulation control mechanism is not functioning
properly.
Continued use of the endoscope under these conditions
could result in patient injury, bleeding and/or perforation.
•
If an abnormal endoscopic image/function occurs and returns
to its normal condition by itself, the endoscope may have
malfunctioned. Continuous use of such an endoscope may
cause repetition of the abnormality, and it may not return to
its normal condition. In this case, stop the examination
immediately and slowly withdraw the endoscope while
viewing the endoscopic image. Otherwise, patient injury,
bleeding and/or perforation can result.
•
If the forceps elevator cannot be lowered while using an
endo-therapy accessory, stop the procedure immediately and
contact Olympus on keeping the condition.
•
If the distal cover should fall off the distal end during the
examination, or seems to fall off, immediately stop the
examination, and slowly withdraw the endoscope from the
patient. Continuing the examination after the distal cover has
fallen off or seems to fall off may cause patient injury by the
exposed distal end of the endoscope.
