1.12 General Warnings and Cautions Observe the following cautions when handling this product. Also, there are same cautions in each chapter.

1.12.1 Precautions for Inspection Before Use WARNING  Make sure to inspect the endoscope and accessories before use according to the procedures provided in this manual. Do not use the equipment that shows any signs of abnormality or irregularity. Use of abnormal equipment may lead to misdiagnosis or increase risks to patient safety.  Make sure to check the forceps valve before use. If the inspection result shows any sign of abnormality or irregularity, replace the forceps valve with a new one already reprocessed. Use of an abnormal forceps valve may cause the leakage of body fluid, posing an infection risk.

 If water leaks from the forceps valve or suction valve during the inspection of the suction function, replace it with a new one already reprocessed. A leaking forceps valve or suction valve may cause backflow of body fluid, posing an infection control risk.  If water leaks from the air/water valve during the inspection of the air/water supply function, replace it with a new one already reprocessed. A leaking air/water valve may cause backflow of body fluid, posing an infection control risk.  Turn off the light of the light source before inspecting the objective lens. Viewing the light from the light guide directly may damage your eyes.

CAUTION  Make sure to inspect the endoscope and accessories before use according to the procedures provided in this manual. Do not use the equipment that shows any signs of abnormality or irregularity. Use of abnormal equipment may cause equipment malfunction.  Do not forcibly turn the angulation knob further after turning the knob until it stops. If the angulation knob is forcibly turned, it may cause malfunction of the endoscope.  Make sure that no moisture or foreign matter (such as dust, gauze fibers, metallic fragments) adheres to the scope connector before connecting it to the light source. If the scope connector with moisture or foreign matter (such as dust, gauze fibers, metallic fragments) is connected, it may cause malfunction or failure of the devices.  Do not attach anything to the power-receiving section. In addition, make sure that no foreign matter such as metallic fragments adheres to the power-receiving section. Adhesion of foreign matter may cause thermal injury, or malfunction or failure of the devices.  Do not touch the light guide cover glass. A dirty light guide cover glass may result in the reduction of light intensity.

897N201941

CAUTION  If abnormalities and/or material changes including but not limited to cracking, flaking, pitting, corrosion, etc. which can create rough surfaces or sharp edges, holes/depressions, compromise sealed surfaces and/or negatively affect device functionality are found, contact your local FUJIFILM dealer.

1.12.2 Handling Precautions WARNING  Wear personal protective equipment (such as goggles, facemask, chemical-resistant and waterproof gloves, antifouling protective clothing, cap and shoe covers) during a procedure as well as during reprocessing to protect your eye and skin and to prevent infection. Not doing so may cause infection.  If you encounter any resistance during a procedure, insert the endoscope slowly. Do not force it in. Do not insert or bend the endoscope without securing the view on the monitor. Not following the recommendations above may cause injury to tissues in the body cavity, bleeding or perforation.  The forceps valve is intended for single use. Discard it after use. If a deteriorated forceps valve is used, body fluids may leak, causing infection.  Reprocess the forceps valve before use. Use of an improperly reprocessed forceps valve can create a risk of infection.  Use a reprocessed forceps valve, air/water valve and suction valve. Insufficient reprocessing could be a source of infection.  Ensure that the forceps valve is properly attached to the instrument channel inlet. If this product is used without the forceps valve attached, body fluid may leak and it could be a source of infection.  The lid of the forceps valve must be closed when using the endoscope. Not doing so may cause leak of body fluids and increase a risk of infection.  When the lid of the forceps valve needs to be opened during a procedure, place a piece of gauze, etc. over it to prevent leakage. Otherwise, body fluids may leak or splash from the forceps valve, posing an infection control risk to the patient or end-user.  During an inspection or procedure, use sterile water. If sterile water is not used, it can create a risk of infection.  Do not quickly release one’s finger from the suction valve during aspiration. Doing so may cause a splattering of body fluids from the suction valve and increase a risk of infection.  Do not supply an excessive amount of air or gas during a procedure. Doing so may cause patient pain, injury to tissues in the body cavity, bleeding, perforation and/or embolism.  Never use endotherapy devices, operate, insert or withdraw the endoscope, perform bending, air supply, suction, water jet operation or flexibility adjustment, or operate the related equipment while viewing an enlarged endoscopic image on the monitor. Otherwise, injury to tissues in the body cavity, bleeding and/or perforation may result.

WARNING  Never use endotherapy devices, operate, insert or withdraw the endoscope, or operate the related equipment without viewing or while freezing the endoscopic image on the monitor. Otherwise, injury to tissues in the body cavity, bleeding and/or perforation may result.  Do not use endotherapy devices, operate, insert or withdraw the endoscope, perform bending, air supply, suction, water jet operation or flexibility adjustment, or operate the related equipment whenever the endoscopic image is compromised, unclear, blurry, etc. due to any reason or condition including loss of image, power interruption, water droplets or dirt/debris adhering to the objective lens, etc. Doing so may cause injury to tissues in the body cavity, bleeding and/or perforation.  If a patient sneezes or moves abruptly during the procedure, malfunction of the endoscope and patient bleeding or trauma may occur. Depending on the degree of malfunction, safe endoscope withdrawal may be difficult or impossible, causing severe harm to patient and/or end-users.

 When this product is used for a patient with an active implantable medical device such as a pacemaker, consult a cardiovascular specialist and the manufacturer of the active implantable medical device to ensure patient safety. The radio waves radiated from this product may cause medical devices such as a pacemaker to malfunction or break down, seriously affecting patient safety.  Do not look directly into the light coming from the light guide at the distal end of the endoscope. Viewing the light from the light guide directly may damage your eyes.  Do not apply excessive force of the endoscope or endotherapy device against mucosal surfaces. Doing so may cause injury to tissues in the body cavity, bleeding and/or perforation.  Do not bend or insert the endoscope while an endotherapy device protrudes from the distal end. Excessive force of the endotherapy device may be unintentionally applied against mucosal surfaces, causing injury to tissues in the body cavity, bleeding and/or perforation.  Use the air/water channel cleaning adapter only for pre-cleaning of the air/water channel. If it is used during a procedure, continuous air supply may occur and cause patient injury.  Do not forcibly advance or withdraw the endoscope into/from the patient, angulate the bending section forcibly or operate it quickly. It may cause patient injury, bleeding or perforation.  Insert the endoscope while observing the endoscopic image to secure patient safety. Not doing so may cause patient pain, injury, bleeding and/or perforation.  When using special light observation mode, use it after sufficiently understanding the difference between the color tone and brightness of normal light observation mode and those of special light observation mode. Use images displayed in special light observation mode as reference information only. Always use the standard endoscopic image in normal light observation mode when performing a diagnosis. Otherwise, it may cause misdiagnosis.

Chapter 1 Precautions

 Do not perform retroflexed observation forcibly. Performing retroflexed observation in a narrow lumen may make it impossible to straighten the angle of the bending section and/or withdraw the endoscope from the patient.
