UCR INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Ch.3
CAUTION
• Never place the endoscopic CO
2
regulation unit on its side or upside down.
• If the endoscopic CO
2
regulation unit is to be placed on a mobile workstation, the
mobile workstation must be of adequate strength and size to safely hold it.
• Do not place any object on top of the instruments. Otherwise, equipment
deformation and/or damage can result.
• Clean and vacuum dust the ventilation grills using a vacuum cleaner. Otherwise,
the endoscopic CO
2
regulation unit may break down from overheating.
The optional cylinder hose (MAJ-1080, MAJ-1081, MAJ-1082) is required for connection of the CO
2
cylinder.
DANGER
Using other gases than medical grade CO
2
may result in fire, poisoning,
complications, etc. In addition, oil, impurities, etc., may penetrate the interior of the
endoscopic CO
2
regulation unit and impede proper CO
2
gas insufflation.
CAUTION
• If the cylinder hose is damaged, replace it with a new one.
• Always keep the gas cylinder in the upright position. Fasten the cylinder to a wall or
another stable structure to prevent it from toppling. If the gas cylinder is placed
horizontally or in an inclined position, liquefied CO
2
may enter the insufflation
channel inside the endoscopic CO
2
regulation unit and normal insufflation may
become impossible.
• Olympus is not liable for any injury or damage due to improper cylinder connection.
