1. Move the elevator control lever in the opposite direction of the “ U” until it
stops.
2. If necessary, apply a medical-grade, water-soluble lubricant to the insertion
section.
3. Place the mouthpiece between the patient’s teeth or gums, with the outer
flange on the outside of the patient’s mouth.
Angulation of the distal end
Avoid forcible or excessive angulation as this imposes load
on the wire controlling the bending section. This may cause
stretching or tearing of the wire, which could impair the
movement of the bending section.
1. Operate the angulation control knobs as necessary to guide the distal end
for insertion and observation.
2. The endoscope’s angulation locks are used to hold the angulated distal end
in position.
• When passing an EndoTherapy accessory through the
instrument channel while the angulation is locked, the angle
of the distal end may change. When it is necessary to keep
the angulation stationary, hold the angulation control knobs in
place with your hand.
• When operating the UP/DOWN or RIGHT/LEFT angulation
lock, hold the angulation control knob stationary with your
finger. If this is not done, the angulation will change.
