LF-TP/DP/GP OPERATION MANUAL
• Use only water-soluble lubricants to lubricate the Bending
Section. Water-insoluble and/or petroleum-based lubricants
(e.g., Vaseline) can damage the covering of the Bending
Section.
• If the ETT cannot be easily slid into place over the Insertion
Tube of the endoscope, do not use it. If the ETT is forced into
place, the Insertion Tube may be damaged or it may be
impossible to remove the ETT from the endoscope.
• The inner diameter of the ETT should be large enough so
that there is sufficient clearance between the ETT and the
Insertion Tube of the endoscope. Insufficient clearance may
interfere with the patient’s ability to breathe properly.
• Never use a damaged ETT. Patient injury and/or equipment
damage may result.
• The Angulation Control Lever should not be operated when
the Bending Section is inside of the ETT.
• Do not apply excessive force, when attaching the ETT to the
Boot. Equipment damage may result.
Some ETT models cannot be attached to the Boot.
