Biopsy
WARNING
Do not insert an endotherapy device if you cannot see the forceps
outlet on the endoscopic image.
There is a risk of perforation and bleeding.
Slowly insert an endotherapy device straight into the forceps inlet of
the endoscope. Also, when withdrawing it, slowly pull straight out. In
addition, slowly attach or remove a syringe, etc. straight to/from the
forceps inlet.
If inserted or pulled out obliquely to the forceps inlet, the frictional
resistance will increase and body fluid may be splattered around due
to breakage or accidental detachment of the forceps valve, leading to
infection.
Do not strongly press an endotherapy device against the digestive tract
wall.
There is a risk of perforation and bleeding.
CAUTION
If resistance is encountered while advancing a forceps (or endotherapy
device) within the forceps channel, stop and withdraw the forceps (or
endotherapy device). Repeat again, but do not apply excessive force
to avoid damaging the endoscope.
[Note] An endotherapy device may not pass through the bending portion smoothly. In such
a case, slightly unbend the bending portion and try to insert it again.
(1) Steer the distal end of the endoscope to the site.
