ULTRASOUND GASTROVIDEOSCOPE GF-UCT180
Inspection of the RIGHT/LEFT angulation mechanism
1. Turn the RIGHT/LEFT angulation lock all the way in the opposite direction of
the “F ” mark. Then turn the RIGHT/LEFT angulation control knob in the
“R ” or the “ L” direction until it stops.
2. Confirm that the angle of the bending section is roughly stabilized when the
RIGHT/LEFT angulation control knob is released.
3. Confirm that the bending section straightens out when the RIGHT/LEFT
angulation lock is turned in the “F ” direction and the RIGHT/LEFT
angulation control knob is released.
Inspection of the forceps elevator mechanism
Perform the following inspections while the bending section is straight.
Move the elevator control lever slowly in the opposite
direction of the “ U” direction until it stops and visually
confirm that the portion of the elevator wire extending from
the distal end of the insertion section is not broken or bent. If
the elevator wire is broken or bent, patient injury, bleeding,
and/or perforation could result.
Inspection for smooth operation
1. Move the elevator control lever slowly all the way in the opposite direction of
the “ U” direction. Visually confirm that the portion of the elevator wire
extending from the distal end of the insertion section is not broken or bent
(see Figure 3.5).
2. While observing the forceps elevator at the distal end of the insertion
section, slowly move the elevator control lever all the way in the “ U”
direction. Confirm that the lever can be operated smoothly and that the
forceps elevator is raised smoothly. Also confirm that the forceps elevator
remains stationary when pushed from behind while holding the elevator
control lever stationary (see Figure 3.5).
3. Move the elevator control lever slowly all the way in the opposite direction of
the “ U” direction. Confirm that the lever can be operated smoothly and
that the forceps elevator is lowered smoothly (see Figure 3.5).
