EVIS LUCERA GIF/CF/PCF TYPE 260 Series OPERATION MANUAL
Examples of inappropriate handling
Details on clinical endoscopic technique are the responsibility of trained
specialists. Patient safety in endoscopic examinations and endoscopic treatment
can be ensured through appropriate handling by the physician and the medical
facility. Examples of inappropriate handling are described below.
• Over-insufflating the lumen may cause patient pain, injury, bleeding,
and/or perforation.
• Applying suction with the distal end in prolonged contact with the
mucosal surface, with higher suction pressure than required, or with
prolonged suction time may cause bleeding and/or lesions.
• The endoscope has not been designed for use in retroflexed
observation in parts of the body other than the stomach. Performing
retroflexed observation in a narrow lumen may make it impossible to
straighten the angle of the bending section and/or withdraw the
endoscope from the patient. Retroflexed observation in parts of the body
other than the stomach should be performed only when the usefulness
of doing so is determined to be greater than the risk that is posed to the
patient.
• Inserting, withdrawing, and using EndoTherapy accessories without a
clear endoscopic image may cause patient injury, burns, bleeding,
and/or perforation.
• Inserting or withdrawing the endoscope, feeding air, applying suction, or
operating the bending section without a clear endoscopic image may
cause patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation.
