Warnings and cautions
Follow the warnings and cautions given below when handling this instrument.
This information is to be supplemented by the warnings and cautions given in
each chapter.
•
After using this instrument, reprocess and store it according
to the instructions given in Chapter 7, “Cleaning, Disinfection,
and Sterilization Procedures”. Using improperly or
incompletely reprocessed or stored instruments may cause
patient cross-contamination and/or infection.
•
Before endoscopy, remove any metallic objects (watch,
glasses, necklace, etc.) from the patient. Performing
high-frequency cauterization treatment while the patient is
wearing metallic objects may cause burns on the patient in
areas around the metallic objects.
•
Move the elevator control lever slowly in the opposite
direction of the “ U” direction until it stops and visually
confirm that the portion of the elevator wire extending from
the distal end of the insertion section is not broken or bent. If
the elevator wire is broken or bent, patient injury, bleeding,
and/or perforation could result.
•
Do not strike, hit, or drop the endoscope’s distal end,
insertion tube, bending section, control section, universal
cord, or endoscope connector. Also, do not bend, pull, or
twist the endoscope’s distal end, insertion tube, bending
section, control section, universal cord, or endoscope
connector with excessive force. The endoscope may be
damaged and could cause patient injury, burns, bleeding,
and/or perforations. It could also cause parts of the
endoscope to fall off inside the patient.
•
Never perform angulation control forcibly or abruptly. Never
forcefully pull, twist, or rotate the angulated bending section.
Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result. It may
also become impossible to straighten the bending section
during an examination.
•
Never insert or withdraw the endoscope’s insertion section
while the bending section is locked in position. Patient injury,
bleeding, and/or perforation may result.

•
Never operate the bending section, feed air, perform suction,
insert or withdraw the endoscope’s insertion section, or use
EndoTherapy accessories without viewing the endoscopic
image. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result.
•
Never operate the bending section, feed air, perform suction,
insert or withdraw the endoscope’s insertion section, or use
EndoTherapy accessories while the image is frozen. Patient
injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result.
•
Never insert or withdraw the insertion section abruptly or with
excessive force. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation
may result.
•
Do not touch the light guide of the endoscope connector
immediately after removing it from the light source because it
is extremely hot. Operator or patient burns can result.
•
That before each use or after a change of viewing
modes/settings, check to ensure the view observed through
the endoscope provides a live image (rather than a stored
one) and has the correct image orientation. Patient injury,
bleeding, and/or perforation could result.
•
When the endoscopic image does not appear on the monitor,
the CCD may have been damaged. Turn the video system
center OFF immediately. Continued power supply in such a
case will cause the distal end to become hot and could cause
operator and/or patient burns.
•
Turn ON the diagnostic ultrasound system only when the
ultrasonic cable is connected to both the diagnostic
ultrasound system and the ultrasonic cable connector on the
endoscope. In particular, confirm that the diagnostic
ultrasound system is OFF before connecting or
disconnecting the ultrasonic cable from the ultrasonic cable
connector on the endoscope. Operator injury may result
and/or equipment damage may result.
•
Do not rely on the NBI observation mode alone for primary
detection of lesions or to make a decision regarding any
potential diagnostic or therapeutic intervention.
•
Never withdraw the endoscope while the balloon is still
inflated. Otherwise, the balloon may burst or detach from the
distal end of the endoscope. If the balloon cannot be
deflated, insert the channel cleaning brush (BW-7L) into the
balloon channel. Using slow, short strokes, carefully feed the
brush to remove debris.
ULTRASOUND GASTROVIDEOSCOPE GF-UCT180

Important Information — Please Read Before Use
•
When withdrawing the endoscope, make sure that the
balloon is completely deflated, using the ultrasound image
and endoscopic field of view. Withdrawing the endoscope
while the balloon is inflated could result in patient injury.
•
If it is difficult to insert the endoscope, do not forcibly insert
the endoscope; stop the endoscopy. Forcible insertion can
result in patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation.
•
If any irregularity in the ultrasound image is observed, turn
the ultrasound center OFF immediately. Continued
ultrasound radiation will cause the distal end to become hot
and could cause operator and/or patient burns.
•
Elastography*1 uses the pulsation of a living body.
Intentional pressurization is not necessary. Compression
onto the tissue by operating the bending section, inserting or
withdrawing the endoscope may cause tissue damage,
bleeding or perforation.
1 Elastography is not available with the diagnostic
ultrasound system (Hitachi Aloka Medical, Ltd.) in
Canada.
•
After using the endoscope reprocess it according to the
instructions given in Chapter 7, “Cleaning, Disinfection, and
Sterilization Procedures”. Using improperly or incompletely
reprocessed, the endoscope’s distal end damage may result.
•
Do not pull the universal cord during an examination. The
endoscope connector will be pulled out from the output
socket of the light source and the endoscopic image will not
be visible.
•
Do not coil the insertion tube or universal cord with a
diameter of less than 12 cm. Equipment damage can result.
•
Do not attempt to bend the endoscope’s insertion section
with excessive force. Otherwise, the insertion section may be
damaged.
•
Do not touch the electrical contacts inside the videoscope
cable connector. CCD damage may result.
•
Do not apply shock to the distal end of the insertion section,
particularly the ultrasound transducer and the objective lens
surface at the distal end. Visual abnormalities may result.

connector. Equipment damage can result.
•
Do not pull, twist or tightly coil the ultrasonic cable. Noise can
develop in the ultrasound image.
•
Electromagnetic interference may occur on this instrument
near equipment marked with the following symbol or other
portable and mobile RF (radio frequency) communications
equipment such as cellular phones. If electromagnetic
interference occurs, mitigation measures may be necessary,
such as reorienting or relocating this instrument, or shielding
the location.
•
To check the electromagnetic interference from other
equipment (any equipment other than this instrument or the
components that constitute this system), the system should
be observed to verify its normal operation in the configuration
in which it will be used.
ULTRASOUND GASTROVIDEOSCOPE GF-UCT180
Page 17
Important Information — Please Read Before Use
•
To prevent unnecessary patient exposure to ultrasound
radiation, follow the ‘as-low-as-reasonably achievable’
(ALARA) principle when using ultrasound equipment. Freeze
the image whenever you are not actively viewing the “live”
ultrasound image. When the equipment is in the FREEZE
mode, no ultrasound energy is emitted.
•
It is highly recommended that a backup ultrasonic cable be
available to continue clinical procedures in case of a
malfunction.
•
This endoscope contains a memory chip that stores
information about the endoscope and communicates this
information to the video system center CV-160 and CV-180.
Examples of inappropriate handling
Details on clinical endoscopic technique are the responsibility of trained
specialists. Patient safety in endoscopic examinations and endoscopic treatment
can be ensured through appropriate handling by the physician and the medical
facility. Examples of inappropriate handling are described below.
•
Over-insufflating the lumen may cause patient pain, injury, bleeding,
and/or perforation.
•
Applying suction with the distal end in prolonged contact with the
mucosal surface, with higher suction pressure than required, or with
prolonged suction time may cause bleeding and/or lesions.
•
The endoscope has not been designed for use in retroflexed
observation in parts of the body other than the stomach. 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. Retroflexed observation in parts of the body
other than the stomach should be performed only when the usefulness
of doing so is determined to be greater than the risk that is posed to the
patient.
•
Inserting, withdrawing, and using EndoTherapy accessories without a
clear endoscopic image may cause patient injury, burns, bleeding,
and/or perforation.
•
Inserting or withdrawing the endoscope, feeding air, applying suction, or
operating the bending section without a clear endoscopic image may
cause patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation.
ULTRASOUND GASTROVIDEOSCOPE GF-UCT180

Important Information — Please Read Before Use
•
For reasons described below, do not rely on the NBI1 observation mode
alone for primary detection of lesions or to make a decision regarding
any potential diagnostic or therapeutic intervention.
NBI has not been demonstrated to increase the yield or
sensitivity of finding any specific mucosal lesion including
colonic polyps or Barrett’s esophagus.
NBI has not been demonstrated to aid in differentiating
establishing the presence or absence of dysplasia or
neoplastic changes within mucosa or mucosal lesions.
1 NBI stands for Narrow Band Imaging. For more details,
refer to the instruction manual for the video system
center CV-180.
Natural rubber latex medical alert
Balloons used with this instrument contain natural rubber
latex that may cause allergic reactions.
Do not use the balloon on a latex-sensitive patient. Instead,
perform the procedure using “The sterile deaerated water
immersion method” described in Section 4.2, “Observation of
the ultrasound image” on page 64, in Chapter 4, “Operation”.
