WARNING
• If patient debris directly or indirectly adheres to this instrument, disinfection has to
be performed within 1 hour after the patient procedure. Patient debris will begin to
dry and solidify, hindering effective removal and reprocessing efficacy.
• After wiping with a piece of moistened lint-free cloth, dry the endoscopic CO
2
regulation unit and accessories thoroughly before using it again. If it is used while
still wet, there is the risk of an electric shock.
• When caring the endoscopic CO
2
regulation unit and/or accessories, always wear
appropriate personal protection equipment such as eye wear, face mask, moisture-
resistant clothing, and chemical-resistant gloves that fit properly and are long
enough so that your skin is not exposed. Blood, mucus, and other potentially
infectious material adhering to the endoscopic CO
2
regulation unit could pose an
infection control risk.
• Do not apply spray-type medical agents such as rubbing alcohol directly to the
endoscopic CO
2
regulation unit and accessories. Medical agents may enter the
endoscopic CO
2
regulation unit and accessories through the ventilation grills
and/or the gaps and may cause a fire and/or equipment damage.
• Use a surface disinfectant cleaner cleared/approved by your national or local
regulatory agencies. Furthermore, surface disinfectant cleaner should have an
antiseptic solution that allows them to apply to medical products. Using an
unauthorized surface disinfectant cleaner may result in insufficient disinfecting
effect.
• As for the use of chemicals, be sure to follow instructions of chemicals
manufacturer. Failure to follow manufacturer's instructions may result in insufficient
cleaning and disinfecting effects.
• When residual organic debris attached to this product, residual organic debris will
begin to dry and solidify, hindering effective removal and reprocessing efficacy.
• Wipe remaining surface disinfectant cleaner according to instructions of surface
disinfectant cleaner manufacturer. Failure to do may adversely affect the human
body or this instrument.
• When patient debris enters the hole or gap of this instrument, contact Olympus
without using it. If you try to disinfect by force, the medicine will get inside this
instrument, causing fire and malfunction of this instrument.
