Important Information — Please Read Before Use
BF TYPE 160 Series OPERATION MANUAL
• Never perform angulation forcibly or suddenly. Never
forcefully pull or twist the angulated bending section. Patient
injury, bleeding and/or perforation can result. It may also
become impossible to straighten the bending section during
use and/or to withdraw this instrument from the patient.
Particular caution is required in the tracheal bifurcation
region.
• Never operate the bending section, perform suction, insert or
withdraw the endoscope’s insertion tube without viewing the
endoscopic image. Patient injury can result.
• Never insert or withdraw the endoscope while the
endoscope’s bending section is locked in position. When
withdrawing the endoscope, the bending section should
follow the form of the body cavity as much as possible.
Otherwise, patient injury, bleeding and/or perforation can
result. It may also become impossible to straighten the angle
during use and/or to withdraw this instrument from the
patient.
• Never use endo-therapy accessories without viewing the
endoscopic image. Patient injury can result.
• Never operate the bending section, perform suction, insert or
withdraw the endoscope’s insertion tube while the image is
frozen. Patient injury can result.
• Never use endo-therapy accessories while the image is
frozen. Patient injury can 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.
• Never insert or withdraw the insertion tube suddenly, abruptly
or with excessive force. Patient injury, bleeding and/or
perforation can result.
• Be sure to prepare another endoscope to avoid that the
examination be interrupted due to equipment failure or
malfunction.
• 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.
