VISERA XENON LIGHT SOURCE CLV-S40
3.2 Connection to an endoscope
• Use compatible endoscope only. Using incompatible
endoscope can result in patient injury and/or equipment
damage. Refer to the “System chart” in the Appendix for
compatible endoscope of this instrument.
• If the surface of the endoscope is dirty, reprocess it according
to the directions given in the endoscope’s instruction or
reprocessing manual before connecting it to the light source.
Otherwise, it may cause patient injury, equipment damage,
and/or improper illumination.
• Do not bring the distal end of a fiberscope, videoscope, rigid
scope or light guide cable in contact with a human body or a
flammable object such as an operating room drape.
Otherwise, the light may cause burns to the human body or
burn the flammable object.
• Do not touch the light guide connector of the endoscope or
the output connector of the light source immediately after
removing it from this instrument because they are extremely
hot. Operator or patient injury can result.
Confirm that the endoscope is thoroughly dry before
connecting. If the endoscope is wet (after disinfection, for
example), dry it according to the directions given in the
endoscope’s instruction or reprocessing manual before
connecting it to the light source. Otherwise, equipment
damage and/or improper illumination can result.
Connection to a rigid endoscope
Connect equipment in the order described below. If
connections are made in the wrong order, the light emitted
from the distal end of the light guide cable may pose the
following risks:
− Operator and/or patient injury may result.
− It may ignite flammable material such as an operating
room drape, which can cause a fire.
