WARNING
Use caution when withdrawing endoscopic accessories from the patient.
WARNING
Before withdrawing the bronchoscope, place the distal tip into a straight, neutral position. While
withdrawing, do not touch the control lever. Any bend in the distal tip may result in patient injury.
WARNING
If a malfunction should occur during use, do not continue the procedure. Place the distal tip into a
straight, neutral position, and then slowly withdraw the bronchoscope without touching the control lever.
WARNING
Always watch the video display carefully while advancing or withdrawing the bronchoscope, flexing the
distal tip, or applying suction. Failure to do so may result in injury to the patient.
WARNING
Before discarding a bronchoscope, ensure that no parts of the camera, distal tip, or insertion tube are
missing.

WARNING
Do not reuse, reprocess, or resterilize single‑use components. Reuse, reprocessing, or resterilization
may create a risk of contamination of the device.

To maintain electrical safety, use only the provided power supply. Connect the power cord and power
