Nomenclature and Functions 2.4.2 Interconnected equipment specifications This endoscope is intended to be used with endoscope imaging processor (VET-OR series) manufactured by Aohua. The ancillary equipment shall comply with relevant regulations and standards. Interconnected endoscope model Equipment VET-8028 VET- VET-9830...
The continuous bubbles indicates leakage exist. Immediately stop using this equipment, and contact AOHUA. If there is no change to the leakage tester’s pointer, the video endoscope has a sound sealing performance and is available for use, cleaning and disinfection.
3.2 Preparation of the equipment CAUTION The monitor must be approved by Aohua that it complies with relevant regulations and safety standards, and its resolution shall be greater than 600 lines. Connect the video output terminals of the endoscope imaging processor with the video input terminals of the monitor.
CAUTION The power supply switch of imaging processor must be OFF before cutting off the power of the imaging processor and monitor. Otherwise, the damage caused by it is not warranted by Aohua in any manner. Turn on the light; the twinkling LED lamp at the endoscope connector of the endoscope indicates it works normally.
Preparation and Inspection 3.3.2 Inspection of the bending section Slowly operate the angulation knob, confirm that the bending section and the angulation knob and angulation lock angulate smoothly and correctly, that maximum angulation can be achieved. CAUTION It is prohibited to forcibly bend the bending section as shown in Figure 3.3.2. (Figure 3.3.2) 3.3.3 Inspection of instrument channel...

Preparation and Inspection Connect the water bottle with the water/air supply connector at the endoscope connector of the endoscope as shown in figure 3.4.1.1. (Figure 3.4.1.1) Connect the suction tube of the suction pump with the suction connector at the endoscope connector of the endoscope.
Preparation and Inspection CAUTION ⚫ Keep the suction pressure under 30kpa. Excessive suction pressure prevents the suction valve from returning to original position. ⚫ Replace the biopsy valve with a new one when the liquids leak from the biopsy valve during suction.
Operation The operator of the endoscope must be a medical practitioner capable of safely performing endoscopy after operation technique training. This manual does not explain or discuss clinical endoscopic procedures. It only describes basic operation of the endoscope. Before using the endoscope, ensure to perform preparation inspection on the endoscope as described in Chapter 3, “Preparation and inspection”.

CAUTION ⚫ AOHUA do not recommend the use of endoscopic instruments not approved by AOHUA. ⚫ Do not forcibly insert the instruments into the instrument channel. ⚫ The use of incompatible instruments may cause damage to the endoscope instrument channel and the instruments.
The cleaning and disinfection method is determined by the user and hospital infection control committee, etc. The cleaning and disinfection include automatic and manual method. AOHUA only introduces recommendation on manual cleaning and disinfection methods. For the automatic method, refer to the instruction manual for relevant equipment.
Operation 4.5.1 Precautions CAUTION Ordinary detergent solution and method cannot satisfy disinfection requirement, disinfection method and material should be studied and selected according to the professional medical viewpoint and particular clinical condition. Disinfection methods The following disinfection methods, which will cause major fault to the video endoscope, should be PROHIBITIVE! Heating and pressing EGO disinfection at the atmospheric pressure of over 1.5 and the temperature of over 40℃.

Block the suction cylinder, air/water cylinder(inapplicable to VET-3512), instrument channel inlet with the channel plug; block the air/water supply connector with sealing plug; connect the injection tube to the endoscope connector as shown in figure 4.7.3.2;...
Operation Turn off the suction pump and disconnect suction pump and all ancillary components from the endoscope. Dry the surface of the endoscope, the air/water valve(inapplicable to VET-3512), the suction valve and the biopsy valve with a sterile lint-free cloth. 4.5.8 Drying NOTE...
The carrying case is not for storage; do not use it to store the endoscope in case of contamination. All non-natural damaged, for instance, damage of insertion tube resulted from biting, and malfunctions caused by operators or purchasing unit’s unauthorized disassembly, are not warranted by AOHUA in any manner.
Check if the voltage is stable and the lens surface is attached Unclear image or signal interference with dirt. Water drop or stripe observed Contact AOHUA. No or insufficient illumination Check the built-in light source and the endoscope connector. Insufficient angulation or angulation Check if the light fiber is broken.
5.2 Returning the endoscope for repair CAUTION ⚫ AOHUA is not responsible for any injuries to the human or damages to the endoscope resulted from repair activities attempted by non-AOHUA personnel. ⚫ If any spare parts or electronic components of the VET series endoscope are damaged, only use the spare parts or electronic components approved by AOHUA.
