Inspection of the mouthpiece (for GIF models only)
Do not use a mouthpiece that is damaged, deformed, or
reveals other irregularities. Doing so may cause patient injury
and/or equipment damage.
Placing the mouthpiece in the patient’s mouth before the
procedure prevents the patient from biting and/or damaging
the endoscope’s insertion section.
1. Confirm that the mouthpiece is free from cracks, deformations, or
discoloration (see Figure 3.15).
2. Using your fingers, check all surfaces of the mouthpiece for scratches,
cracks, or other irregularities (see Figure 3.15).
