BF TYPE 160 Series OPERATION MANUAL
Laser cauterization
• The BF-MP160F/XP160F do not correspond to laser
cauterization. If laser cauterization is performed using the
BF-MP160F/XP160F, abnormalities in an endoscopic image
may occur, which consequently may damage the inside of
the patient body.
• Do not perform laser cauterization while supplying oxygen.
This may result in combustion during cauterization.
• To avoid patient injury and/or damage to the endoscope, do
not start laser radiation before confirming that the tip of the
laser probe appears in the proper position in the endoscopic
image. Keep an appropriate distance between the target and
the endoscope’s distal end and always use the lowest power
output possible.
• Before inserting or withdrawing the laser probe, return the
UP/DOWN angulation control lever to its neutral position so
that the bending section will be straight. If it is bent, the
instrument channel and/or the laser probe may be damaged.
• Allow the tip of the laser probe to cool down before pulling it
in the channel. If the laser probe is withdrawn while hot,
channel damage may occur.
• Do not use a damaged laser probe. A laser probe with a
damaged sheath or distal end may cause patient injury
and/or equipment damage.
Prepare, inspect and connect the laser unit and laser probe as described in their
instruction manuals.
