12. Loss of Function
During an examination, if the endoscopic image disappears, a live image is not
displayed after freeze mode has been cancelled, or the endoscopic image is discolored,
reset the processor and light source.
During treatment, if the endoscopic image disappears, a live image is not displayed
after freeze mode has been cancelled, or the endoscopic image is discolored, stop
treatment immediately, remove the endotherapy device from the endoscope, and then
reset the processor and light source.
If an appropriate image does not appear even after resetting the processor and light
source, turn them off, straighten the bending portion to unlock, release the angle knobs,
and then withdraw the endoscope slowly from the patient.
Should the endoscopic image disappear during an examination or treatment, and if the
processor and light source are not turned off, it may cause overheating of the distal end
of the endoscope, possibly resulting in mucosal burns or other injury.
[Note] Reset: Turn off the processor and the light source, and wait for at least 5 seconds.
Turn on the processor and the light source again, and then light the lamp by pressing
the Lamp button.
