3.5. Operating the device
Insertion of the endoscope 8
•
Insert a suitable mouthpiece and place it between the patient's teeth or gums�
•
If necessary, apply a medical-grade lubricant as denoted in sec� 2�2 to the distal section of
the endoscope�
• Insert the distal end of the endoscope through the opening of the mouthpiece, then from
the mouth to the pharynx while viewing the endoscopic image� Do not insert the endoscope
beyond the proximal end maximum length mark�
Holding and maneuvering the endoscope
•
The control section of the endoscope is designed to be held in the operator's left hand�
•
The suction and insufflation/rinsing valves can be operated using the left index and
middle fingers�
•
The Up/down control wheel can be operated using the left thumb and supporting fingers�
•
The operator's right hand is free to manipulate the distal end via the insertion tube of
the endoscope�
•
The right hand is intended to adjust the Right/left control wheel and the angulation locks�
Angulation of the distal end
• Operate the angulation control wheels as necessary to guide the distal end during insertion
and observation�
• The endoscope angulation locks are used to hold the angulated distal end in position�
Insufflation/rinsing
•
Cover the opening of the insufflation/rinsing valve to feed CO₂ from the insufflation/rinsing
nozzle at the distal tip�
•
Fully depress the insufflation/rinsing valve to feed sterile water onto the objective lens�
Instillation of fluids
•
Fluids can be injected through the working channel by inserting a syringe into the working
channel port of the endoscope� Insert the syringe completely into the port and press the
plunger to inject fluid�
•
Make sure you do not apply suction during this process, as this will redirect the injected
fluids into the suction system�
