4.4. Inspection of the Endoscopic System
Checking the Working Channel 6
•
Confirm that the biopsy valve is attached to the working channel port.
• Endoscopic instruments labeled for use with a working channel size (ID) of 2.8 mm or
less are compatible.
• There is no guarantee that endoscopic instruments selected solely using this working
channel size will be compatible with the aScope Gastro.
•
Compatibility of selected endoscopic instruments should be tested prior to procedure.
Inspection of the Image 7
• Verify that a live video image and correct orientation appears on the monitor by
pointing the distal end of the aScope Gastro towards an object, e.g. the palm of
your hand.
•
Adjust the image preferences on the aBox 2 if necessary (please refer to the aBox 2
Instructions for Use).
•
If the image is impaired and/or unclear, wipe the lens at the distal end using a
sterile cloth.
•
The images must not be used as an independent diagnostic of any pathology.
Physicians must interpret and qualify any findings by other means and in the light
of the patient's clinical characteristics.
Checking the Remote Switches
•
All remote switches should be checked to work normally even if they are not
expected to be used.
•
Press every remote switch and confirm that the specified functions work as expected.
Checking the Suction, Rinsing and Insufflation Functionality
•
Check that the suction and insufflation/rinsing valves work as expected by pressing
the suction and insufflation/rinsing valves.
•
Cover the opening of the insufflation/rinsing valve and confirm that the insufflation
function works properly.
Checking the Auxiliary Water Jet Functionality
•
Check that the auxiliary water jet system by activating the auxiliary water pump and
confirm that irrigation function works properly.
4.5. Operating the aScope Gastro

•
If necessary, apply a medical-grade lubricant to the insertion section.
•
Insert the distal end of the aScope Gastro through the opening of the mouthpiece,
then from the mouth to the pharynx while viewing the endoscopic image. Do not
insert beyond the proximal end maximum length mark.
Holding and Maneuvering the aScope Gastro
