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 given below.
Applying prolonged suction with the distal end in contact with the
mucosal surface may cause bleeding or suction lesions.
The endoscope has not been designed for use in retroflexed
observation. 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.
Inserting, withdrawing and using endo-therapy accessories without a
clear endoscopic image may cause burns or perforation.
Inserting or withdrawing the endoscope, applying suction or operating
the bending section without a clear endoscopic image may cause
