Chapter 13 Troubleshooting
If the endoscope is visibly damaged, does not function as expected, or is found
to have irregularities during the inspection described in Chapter 3, “Preparation
and Inspection”, do not use the endoscope. Contact Olympus.
Some problems that appear to be malfunctions may be correctable by referring
to Section 13.1, “Troubleshooting guide” on page 213. If the problem cannot be
resolved by the described remedial action, stop using the endoscope and send it
to Olympus for repair.
Olympus does not repair accessory parts. If an accessory part becomes
damaged, contact Olympus to purchase a replacement.
• Never use the endoscope on a patient if any irregularity is
observed. Damage or irregularity in the instrument may
compromise patient or user safety and may result in more
severe equipment damage.
• If any parts of the endoscope fall off inside the patient body
due to equipment damage or failure, stop using the
endoscope immediately and retrieve the parts in an
appropriate way.
Should any irregularity in the function of the endoscope and/or endoscopic
image be observed during use, stop the examination immediately and carefully
withdraw the endoscope from the patient as described in Section 13.2,
“Withdrawal of the endoscope with an irregularity” on page 218.
