BF TYPE 160 Series OPERATION MANUAL
• The external surfaces of the BF-160 series endoscopes
(except the BF-3C160/MP160F/XP160F) are insulated. This
allows electrosurgery to be performed.
• Some Olympus endoscopes are equipped with a feedback
circuit to lead leakage current from the endoscope to the
electrosurgical unit. However, the BF-160 series is not
equipped with a feedback circuit, because leakage current
from the electrosurgical accessory to the endoscope is
minimal as the insertion tube is short. Therefore, the S-cord
is unnecessary when using BF-160 series endoscope.
• For the electrosurgical unit PSD-10, the following P-cord is
necessary:
− P-cord (MB-582)
− P-cord for disposable patient plate (MB-584)
The S-P cord is unnecessary.
• The application of high frequency current may interfere with
the endoscopic image. This is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction.
