7) Abnormality in use
If any abnormality is found during its use, perform safety checks and immediately stop
using this product.
8) Maintenance
The equipment will wear out and degrade after repeated use for a long period. In particular,
resin and rubber parts wear out over time or due to the chemicals used. Have it checked by
specialists once every six months or once every 100 cases. Also have it checked if there is
anything wrong with the equipment.
Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.
9) Operation of Endoscope
Endoscope is a precision instrument. Excessive force or impact on the insertion portion,
flexible portion, or distal end may injure the patient's body cavity as well as damage the
instrument. If any resistance is sensed during the operation, do not continue operating it
forcedly, but insert it slowly. Do not insert or bend the endoscope without checking the
image on the monitor.
10) Handling of Endoscope
When holding endoscope, hold it by the control portion. Holding it up by the insertion
portion or LG flexible portion is difficult to hold and may exert an excessive force, resulting
in failure.
Do not apply any impact to the distal end of endoscope, especially to the lenses. It may
result in abnormal endoscopic images or insufficient airtightness of the endoscope.
When carrying the endoscope, keep the endoscope clean. In addition, put the endoscope
into a clean carrying case to avoid hitting against other objects.
Wear personal protective equipment when handling an endoscope to prevent infection and
electrostatic discharge.
11) Temperature at distal end
When the endoscope projects light at high brightness for an extended time, the temperature
may exceed 41°C at the distal end. Turn off the lamp when you hang the endoscope on the
cart hanger.
