•
Do not use the aBox™ Duodeno if not inspected as instructed. Inspect other
equipment to be used with the aBox™ Duodeno as instructed in their respective
instruction manuals. Should any irregularity be observed, do not use the aBox ™
Duodeno and see section 12. Troubleshooting. If the irregularity is still observed
after consulting section 12, contact Ambu. Damage or irregularity may compromise
patient or user safety and may result in more severe equipment damage.
•
Do not use this device when the live image cannot be observed. Otherwise, patient
injury may occur.
Connection to the AC Mains Power Supply
•
Always keep the power plug dry. A wet power plug may cause electric shocks.
•
Confirm that the hospital-grade wall mains outlet to which this device is connected
has adequate electrical capacity that is larger than the total power consumption of
all connected equipment. If the capacity is insufficient, fire can result or circuit
breaker may trip and turn OFF this device and all other equipment connected to the
same power circuit.
•
Be sure to connect the power plug securely to prevent erroneous unplugging during
use. Otherwise, the equipment will not function.
•
If combinations of equipment other than those shown below are used, the full
responsibility should be assumed by the medical treatment facility. Such
combinations do not only allow the equipment to manifest their full functionality
but may also imperil the safety of the patient and medical personnel. In addition, the
endurance of the video system center and ancillary equipment is not guaranteed.
Troubles caused in this case are not covered by free-of-charge repair. Be sure to use
the equipment in one of the recommended combinations.
Operation of the aBox™ Duodeno
•
To guard against dangerous chemicals and potentially infectious material during the
procedure and danger of unintentional diathermy burns, wear personal protective
equipment, such as eyewear, face mask, moisture-resistant clothing and chemical and
electrical-resistant gloves that fit properly and are long enough so that your skin is
not exposed. Please note that a new pair of gloves is required prior to each procedure.
•
Never use the aBox™ Duodeno if an abnormality is suspected. Damage or irregularity
in the device may compromise patient or user safety and may result in more severe
equipment damage.
•
If any other abnormality occurs or is suspected, immediately stop using the
equipment, turn OFF all equipment, and gently withdraw the endoscope from the
patient as described in the endoscope's instruction manual. Then, refer to the
instructions in section 12. Troubleshooting. If the problems cannot be resolved by the
remedial action described in section 12, do not use the equipment and contact Ambu.
•
Clean the device and change gloves prior to touching the device and between cases.
Not changing gloves could lead to cross-contamination.
Ancillary Equipment
•
When using spray-type medical agents such as lubricant, anesthetic, or alcohol, use
them away from the aBox™ Duodeno so that the medical agents do not come into
contact with the aBox™ Duodeno. Medical agents might leak into the video system
through the ventilation grills and may cause equipment damage.
•
Do not use non-compatible electrosurgical equipment with this device. Interference
on the monitor or loss of the endoscopic image can occur.
•
Do not use a humidifier near the video system center as dew condensation might
occur and may cause equipment failure.
•
When recording images, be sure to record the images together with patient data.
Otherwise, distinction between different observations may become difficult.
