EVIS LUCERA GIF/CF/PCF TYPE 260 Series OPERATION MANUAL
For CF/PCF models
To determine the correct splinting tube to use with the
endoscope, select one of the combinations shown in the
“System chart” in the Appendix.
1. Move the zoom lever toward “W ” until it stops so that the widest possible
angle is shown in the endoscopic image (for CF-H260AZL/I, PCF-Q260AZI
only).
2. If necessary, apply a medical-grade, water-soluble lubricant to the insertion
section.
3. Insert the insertion section of the endoscope into the splinting tube if
required, and apply lubricant to the splinting tube.
4. Always view the endoscopic image when passing the distal end of the
endoscope from the anus to the rectum. Do not insert the insertion section
into the anus beyond the insertion section limit mark.
Angulation of the distal end
Avoid forcible or excessive angulation as this imposes stress
on the wire controlling the bending section. This may cause
stretching or tearing of the wire, which could impair the
movement of the bending section.
1. Operate the angulation control knobs as necessary to guide the distal end
for insertion and observation.
2. The endoscope’s angulation locks are used to hold the angulated distal end
in position.
• When passing an EndoTherapy accessory through the
instrument channel while the angulation is locked, the angle
of the distal end may change. When it is necessary to keep
the angulation stationary, hold the angulation control knobs in
place with your hand.
• When operating the UP/DOWN or RIGHT/LEFT angulation
lock, hold the angulation control knob stationary with your
finger. If this is not done, the angulation will change.
