• Regardless of the flexibility of the endoscope’s insertion
section, it can cause patient injury, bleeding, and/or
perforation if it is forcibly inserted, withdrawn, and/or twisted
with excessive force. It is generally believed that an
endoscope with a more rigid insertion section is easier to
manipulate in the intestines if used properly. However, it
should be noted that such an endoscope, if used improperly,
is more likely to cause patient pain, injury, bleeding, and/or
perforation than an endoscope with a more flexible insertion
section (for endoscopes with flexibility adjustment only).
• The flexibility of the insertion section of the CF-Q260AL/I can
be adjusted to less than, equal to, or more than that of the
CF-240L/I. The range of the flexibility adjustment of the
CF-Q260AL/I is equal to the CF-240AL/I.
The flexibility of the insertion section of the CF-Q260DL/I can
be adjusted to less than, equal to, or more than that of the
CF-240L/I and CF-Q240L/I. The range of the flexibility
adjustment of the CF-Q260DL/I is equal to the CF-240DL/I.
The flexibility of the insertion section of the CF-H260AL/I,
CF-H260DL/I can be adjusted to less than, equal to, or more
than that of the CF-Q240L/I. The range of the flexibility
adjustment of the CF-H260AL/I, CF-H260DL/I is equal to the
CF-Q240AL/I.
The flexibility of the insertion section of the CF-H260AZL/I
can be adjusted to less than, equal to, or more than that of
the CF-Q240ZL/I. The range of the flexibility adjustment of
the CF-H260AZL/I is equal to the CF-Q240AL/I.
The flexibility of the insertion section of the PCF-Q260AL/I,
PCF-Q260AZI can be adjusted to less than, equal to, or more
than that of the PCF-240L/I.
The insertion section of the endoscope should be adjusted to
the appropriate flexibility for each case. Always confirm the
flexibility of the insertion section by holding the insertion
section with two hands before inserting it into the patient, and
adjust the flexibility as necessary according to the case,
region, and patient’s condition during an examination. If you
are unsure of the appropriate flexibility of the insertion
section, set it to the most flexible condition. Continuing the
examination while the insertion section is set to an
inappropriate degree of flexibility may cause patient pain,
injury, bleeding and/or perforation (for endoscopes with
flexibility adjustment only).
