Note
In case the endoscope is hot /cold immediately after cleaning, high - level disinfection, and /or
sterilization, wait until it returns to room temperature before using it. Lens fogging, which will
result in blurry images, might result from abrupt changes in environmental temperature.
█

When carrying the endoscope by hand, loosely loop the umbilical cord and insertion portion, hold the
control body and the scope connector in gloved hand, and hold insertion portion (near the bending
section) in the other gloved hand as shown in Figure 3.4.
