Operation of EndoTherapy accessories
Withdrawal of EndoTherapy accessories
• Do not withdraw the EndoTherapy accessory if the tip is open or extended from its
sheath; patient injury, bleeding, perforation and/or endoscope damage may occur.
• Fluid might spray when the EndoTherapy accessories are withdrawn from the
biopsy valve. To prevent this, hold a piece of gauze around the accessory and the
slit of the biopsy valve during withdrawal.
• Withdraw the EndoTherapy accessory slowly and straight out of the biopsy valve.
Otherwise, the biopsy valve could be damaged. This can reduce the efficacy of the
endoscope’s suction system, and may leak or spray patient debris, posing an
infection control risk.
• If the EndoTherapy accessory cannot be withdrawn from the endoscope, close the
EndoTherapy accessory and/or retract it into its sheath. Then carefully withdraw
both the endoscope and the EndoTherapy accessory together under endoscopic
observation. Take care not to cause tissue trauma.
Operate the EndoTherapy accessory according to the directions given in its
instruction manual.
Withdraw the EndoTherapy accessory slowly while the tip of the EndoTherapy
accessory is closed and/or retracted into its sheath.
