6. When inspecting the PCF-PQ260L/I, confirm that the passive bending
section bends smoothly by holding both ends of the passive bending section
(about 100 mm from the distal end of the endoscope and the distal end of
the insertion tube) using both hands and bending it lightly as shown in
Figure 3.4 (the passive bending section can be bent almost roughly about
60).
Figure 3.4
If the passive bending section does not bend smoothly, it may
be abnormal. In this case, do not use the endoscope
because it may be impossible to straighten the passive
bending section, and patient injury, bleeding, and/or
perforation may result (for PCF-PQ260L/I only).
7. Gently hold the midpoint of the bending section and a point 20 cm from the
distal end. Push and pull gently to confirm that the junction between the
bending section and the insertion tube is not loose.
