EVIS LUCERA GIF/CF/PCF TYPE 260 Series OPERATION MANUAL
• The bending section will never bend to the RIGHT or LEFT
direction but to the UP or DOWN direction. To insert or
withdraw, operate the endoscope by considering the direction
in which the bending section is angulated. Never apply
excessive force to the RIGHT or LEFT direction when
inserting or withdrawing the endoscope. Doing so may result
in patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation (for GIF-N260
only).
• If any of the following conditions occur during an
examination, immediately stop the examination and withdraw
the endoscope from the patient as described in Section 5.2,
“Withdrawal of the endoscope with an irregularity” on
page 115.
 Should any irregularity be observed with the functionality
of the endoscope.
 If the endoscopic image on the monitor disappears or
freezes unexpectedly.
 If the angulation control knob is locked.
 If the angulation control mechanism is not functioning
properly.
 If the zoom malfunctions (when using the GIF-H260Z,
CF-H260AZL/I, PCF-Q260AZI or using the image
magnification function of the video system center
CV-260SL, CV-260).
 If the flexibility adjustment ring becomes jammed (for
endoscopes with flexibility adjustment only).
Continued use of the endoscope under these conditions
could result in patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation.
• If an abnormal endoscopic image appears or an abnormal
function occurs but quickly corrects itself, the endoscope may
have malfunctioned. In this case, stop using the endoscope
because the irregularity can occur again and the endoscope
may not return to its normal condition. Stop the examination
immediately and slowly withdraw the endoscope while
viewing the endoscopic image. Otherwise, patient injury,
bleeding, and/or perforation can result.
• Never perform flexibility adjustment while the EndoTherapy
accessory extends from the distal end of the endoscope.
Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation can result (for
endoscopes with flexibility adjustment only).
