EVIS LUCERA GIF/CF/PCF TYPE 260 Series OPERATION MANUAL
• When the biopsy valve’s cap is detached from the main body,
it may cause patient debris or fluids to leak or spray from the
endoscope, posing an infection control risk. When the biopsy
valve’s cap has to be detached, place a piece of sterile gauze
over it to prevent leakage.
• Do not let the EndoTherapy accessory hang down from the
biopsy valve. Doing so can create a space between the
accessory and the valve’s slit or hole. This can damage the
valve, which can reduce the efficacy of the endoscope’s
suction system and may leak or spray patient debris or fluids,
posing an infection control risk.
• When inserting an EndoTherapy accessory, hold it close to
the biopsy valve and insert it slowly and straight into the
biopsy valve. Otherwise, the EndoTherapy accessory and/or
biopsy valve could be damaged. This can reduce the efficacy
of the endoscope’s suction system and may leak or spray
patient debris or fluids, posing an infection control risk.
1. Select EndoTherapy accessories compatible with the instrument from the
“System chart” in the Appendix. Refer to the accessories’ instruction
manuals for operating instructions.
2. Hold the UP/DOWN and RIGHT/LEFT angulation knobs stationary.
3. Confirm that the tip of the EndoTherapy accessory is closed or retracted into
its sheath and insert the EndoTherapy accessory slowly and straight into the
slit of the biopsy valve.
Do not open the tip of the EndoTherapy accessory or extend
the tip of the EndoTherapy accessory from its sheath while
the accessory is in the instrument channel. The instrument
channel and/or the EndoTherapy accessory may become
damaged.
4. Hold the EndoTherapy accessory approximately 4 cm from the biopsy valve
and advance it slowly and straight into the biopsy valve using short strokes
while observing the endoscopic image.
