CAUTION
Risk of injury to the patient and/or the user
When using endoscopes and light-guide cables with an
inappropriate combination of the maximum insertion portion width
and ber bundle diameter, the connectors may become hot.
• Only use endoscopes and light-guide cables with the
appropriate combination of the maximum insertion portion
width and ber bundle diameter.
• For the appropriate maximum insertion portion width, refer to
the chapter “Technical data” on page 45.
• For the appropriate ber bundle diameter, refer to the
respective instructions for use of the light-guide cable.
• Use the instructions in this document if the instructions differ
from the instructions for use of the light-guide cable.
For reasons of safety, the active diameter of the light-guide cable
used in combination with the endoscope must be as specied:
Diameter of the endoscope ≤4.1 mm: active diameter of the
light-guide cable ≤3 mm.
Using endoscopes in combination with light-guide cables of other
manufacturers may lead to an increase in temperature of the
connectors.
