1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS- IMPORTANT
The following precautions should always be exercised with the use of all electro-medical equipment to ensure safety to all
involved parties - user(s), patient(s), etc.
Please carefully read and follow this owner’s manual.
1-1. TRAINING
This equipment should only be used under the supervision of a trained physician in a medical facility. Do NOT use in other
locations or for any other purposes than the intended application.
1-2. INSTALLATION
1. This equipment should NEVER be installed or used in areas where the unit could get wet or be exposed to any environmental
conditions such as high temperature, humidity, direct sunlight, dust, salt, etc., which could adversely affect the equipment.
2. This equipment should NEVER be installed or used in the presence of flammable or explosive gases or chemicals.
3. This equipment should NEVER be installed, used or transported in an inclined position nor should it be subjected to impact
or vibration.
4. For safety reasons, this equipment must be properly grounded. (This equipment should be connected to a three (3) prong
hospital grade receptacle in U.S.A. or Canada.)
5. Ensure that all power requirements are met and conform to those specified on the rating plate located on the rear panel.
6. Do NOT block the air intake vent of this equipment.
7. Do NOT allow the power cord to become twisted, crushed or pulled taut.
8. When using an isolation transformer for any ancillary equipment, ensure that the power requirements of the devices do not
exceed the capacity of the isolation transformer. For further information, contact your local PENTAX distributor.
1-3. PRIOR TO USE
1. Confirm that this equipment functions properly and check the operation of all switches, indicators, etc.
2. To prevent electrical shock when used with endoscopes, this equipment is insulated (type BF electro-medical equipment).
Do NOT allow it to be grounded to other electrical devices being used on the patient. Rubber gloves should always be worn
to prevent grounding through user(s).
3. Confirm that other devices used in conjunction with this equipment function properly and that these other devices will not
adversely affect the operation or safety of this equipment. If any component of the endoscopic system is not properly
functioning, the procedure should not be performed.
4. Check and confirm that all cords or cables are connected correctly and securely.
5. The lamp life when used in this equipment is 400 hours. Prior to use, check the lamp life indicator on the front panel to
ensure the indicator is lit green or yellow. After 400 hours of use, the indicator turns red and the image quality will
deteriorate. Excessive use of the lamp beyond its rated 400 hours (approaching a thousand hours of use or more ) could cause
the lamp to explode resulting in damage to the video processor.
- The lamp life rated at 400 hours, is applicable to the EPK-1000 processor with serial number beginning with UB and
EB.
1-4. DURING USE
1. To prevent electric shock, the endoscope and/or any other ancillary device should NEVER be applied directly to the heart.
2. Make sure that no contact is made between the patient and this equipment.
3. To avoid damage to the luminous display and flat membrane switches, do NOT press any keys with any sharp or pointed
objects.
4. The light emitted by the Xenon lamp is extremely intense. Avoid looking directly at the light exiting the endoscope and/or
this equipment.
