•
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.

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, Ltd.) in Canada.
•
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.
•
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.

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.

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.
