Application shall be type BF or CF Applied
Parts.
22. NO Modifications of this equipment is
allowed.
23. Connecting any equipment that has not been
supplied as part of this ME System to Multiple
Socket Outlets may result in increased
leakage currents. Use an IEC Approved
Isolation Transformer to isolate any such
interconnections from the ME System.
24. Before each use or after changing viewing
modes/settings the Operator should check to
ensure that the view observed through the
Endoscope provides a live image (rather than
a stored one) and has the correct image
orientation.
25. Risk of burns!
Light sources emit large amounts of light
energy and thermal energy. As a result:
 Surface temperatures of the insertion
portion of the endoscope as well as light
guide connectors on the CCU and the
endoscope rise during use. This can
cause the temperature of the body
tissue to rise in excess of 106 °F (41°C).
 Potential Thermal injury to the patient’s
tissue (e.g. from prolonged exposure to
the intense illumination in small cavities,
or if the endoscope’s distal end is
placed in close proximity with the tissue)
may result, as well as burns to the
patient’s or user’s skin. Burns or thermal
damage to surgical equipment may also
result.
 Avoid prolonged exposure to intense
illumination.
 Use the minimum level of illumination
necessary to satisfactorily illuminate the
target area.
 Do not place the endoscope’s distal end
or light guide connector on the patient’s
skin, on flammable materials or on heat
sensitive materials.
 Turn the light source off when detaching
the endoscope from the light guide
cable.
 Allow the endoscope and light guide
cable to cool down after use.
26. High Frequency [HF] electrical surgical
instruments may lead to severe patient
injuries and/or damage to the endoscope.
Please take caution to insure that the working
element is kept within field of view to prevent
accidental burns. A sufficient distance from
the tip of the endoscope to other conductive
accessories and instruments should be
maintained (10 mm) before activating the HF
output to prevent burns and damage to the
endoscope. Refer to the HF Surgical Device
Instructions for proper and safe use.
27. HF surgical Instruments may interfere with
video images. To prevent such interference,
HF equipment and video imaging equipment
should be connected to different power
supply circuits.
28. Use of Lasers in surgery may result in Eye
Damage or damage to the endoscope from
reflected laser energy. Refer to the Laser
Device Instructions for proper and safe use.
 When using a laser always wear
protective glasses designed for the
laser’s wavelength.
 Cover the patient’s eyes, or use
protective glasses designed for the
laser’s wavelength.
 To prevent damage to the
Endoscope, the Laser should be
activated only after the tip of the laser
can be seen thought the endoscope.
