EVIS EXERA II TJF TYPE Q180V OPERATION MANUAL
Chapter 4 Operation
This manual does not explain or discuss clinical endoscopic procedures. It only
describes basic operation and precautions related to the operation of this
instrument. Therefore, the operator of this instrument must be a physician or
medical personnel under the supervision of a physician and must have received
sufficient training in clinical endoscopic technique.
• To guard against dangerous chemicals and potentially
infectious material during the procedure, wear personal
protective equipment such as eyewear, face mask,
moisture-resistant clothing, and chemical-resistant gloves
that fit properly and are long enough so that your skin is not
exposed.
• The temperature of the distal end of the endoscope may
exceed 41C (106F) and reach 50C (122F) due to intense
endoscopic illumination. Surface temperatures over 41C
(106F) may cause mucosal burns. Always maintain a
suitable distance necessary for adequate viewing while using
the minimum level of illumination for the minimum amount of
time. Do not use close stationary viewing or leave the distal
end of the endoscope close to the mucous membrane for a
long time without necessity.
• Whenever possible, do not leave the endoscope illuminated
before and/or after an examination. Continued illumination
will cause the distal end of the endoscope to become hot and
could cause operator and/or patient burns.
• Turn the video system center ON to operate the light source’s
automatic brightness function. When the video system center
is OFF, it cannot operate the light source’s automatic
brightness function, and the light intensity is set to the
maximum level. In this case, the distal end of the endoscope
can become hot and could cause operator and/or patient
burns (when using the light source CLV-160, CLV-U40).
