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
1. 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 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 lifetime of the lamp in this equipment is 200 hours. Prior to use, check the lamp life meter on the rear panel to ensure the
lamp life is less than 200 hours. After 200 hours of use, the image quality will deteriorate. Excessive use of the lamp beyond
200 hours (approaching several thousand hours of use) could break the lamp inside the processor resulting in damage to the
processor.
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 Metal Halide lamp is extremely intense. Avoid looking directly at the light exiting the endoscope
and/or this equipment.
