Safety information WARNING Risk of injury to the patient and the user There is a risk of an electric shock when using endoscopic equipment or when using endoscopic equipment in combination with energized endotherapy devices. The patient leakage currents can be additive. ● Before each use, check the applied part classification of the endoscopic equipment and especially the energized endotherapy devices used during the procedure. ● Only use endoscopic equipment or endoscopic equipment in combination with energized endotherapy devices that meet at least the same requirements of applied part classification. This is particularly important if a type CF applied part endoscope is used. In this case a type CF applied part energized endotherapy device should be used to minimize total leakage current. ● For the applied part classification, refer to the respective instructions for use. WARNING Risk of injury to the patient There is a risk of injury to the patient due to malfunction of the equipment. ● Always have spare equipment available.

CAUTION Risk of injury to the user and the patient There is a risk of damaging the eye when looking into the endoscope connector of the light-guide cable and the light source is switched on. ● Do not look into the endoscope connector of the light-guide cable when the light source is switched on. 17
Before use
4.2 Inspection Before connecting the product to the ancillary equipment, a thorough inspection ensures that the product is fit for use. A damaged product can cause an electric shock, mechanical injury, infection and thermal injury. Checking for mechanical defects 1. Check that the product has: – no dents, cracks, bending, or deformations – no cuts and other defects on the outer sleeve of the cable – no scratches – no corrosion – no lens damages or cover glass damages – no missing or loose parts 2. Check all markings on the product for clear visibility. Checking for performed reprocessing 1. Make sure that the product has been properly reprocessed. 2. Visually inspect the product thoroughly. The product must be visually clean. 3. Only use the product if it is visually clean. Reprocess the product again if necessary. Checking the light transmission – light-guide adapter 1. Hold the light source connector of the light-guide adapter against a lamp. 2. Look into the endoscope connector of the light-guide adapter. Black dots indicate defective light-guide fibers. 3. Only use a light-guide adapter if less than 25 to 30% of lightguide fibers are damaged. Replace if necessary If the product is damaged or does not function properly, replace it. Contact an authorized service center for repair.

Use
5 Use This chapter describes safety information for use and provides information on how to use the product.
5.1 Safety notes for use WARNING Risk of injury to the patient and the user There is a risk of electric shock if the following conditions apply simultaneously: – The telescope is inserted in the patient. – The light-guide cable is connected to the telescope but not to the light source. – The light source connector of the light-guide cable comes in contact with a conductive surface. ● Completely connect the endoscope before inserting the endoscope into the patient. CAUTION Risk of injury to the patient and the user Light sources emit large amounts of energy. As a result the connectors of the endoscopic equipment and the distal end of the endoscope become hot. There is a risk of: – thermal injury to the patient’s tissue (e.g., from prolonged exposure to the intense illumination in cavities with small lumens, or if the distal end of the endoscope is placed into close proximity to the tissue). – burns to the patient’s or user’s skin. – burns or thermal damage to surgical equipment (e.g., surgical drapes, plastic materials, etc.). ● Do not place the endoscopic equipment on the patient’s skin, on flammable materials, or on heat-sensitive materials. ● Set the output power of the light source to the minimum level that is necessary for a sufficient illumination of the target area. Avoid prolonged exposure to intense illumination. ● Switch off the light source or set the light source to standby mode whenever the light source is not in use. 21
