 Precautions Follow the warnings and cautions given below when handling this endoscope. This information is to be supplemented by the warnings and cautions given in each chapter.

WARNING • Do not use this endoscope for any purpose other than its intended use. Patient or operator injury and/or equipment damage may result. • After using this endoscope, reprocess and store it according to the instructions given in the endoscope’s companion “REPROCESSING MANUAL” with your endoscope model listed on the cover. Using improperly or incompletely reprocessed or stored instruments may cause patient cross-contamination and/or infection. • Before endoscopy, remove any metallic objects (watch, glasses, necklace, etc.) from the patient. Performing high-frequency cauterization treatment while the patient is wearing metallic objects may cause burns on the patient in areas around the metallic objects. • Do not strike, hit, or drop the endoscope’s distal end, insertion tube, bending section, control section, universal cord, or endoscope connector of the endoscope. Also, do not bend, pull, or twist the endoscope’s distal end, insertion tube, bending section, control section, universal cord, or endoscope connector of the endoscope with excessive force. The endoscope may be damaged and could cause patient injury, burns, bleeding, and/or perforations. It could also cause parts of the endoscope to fall off inside the patient. • Never perform angulation control forcibly or abruptly. Never forcefully pull, twist, or rotate the angulated bending section. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result due to unintended retroflexion of the bending section. It may also become impossible to straighten the bending section during an examination. •

Retroflexed observation in a lumen should be performed only when its usefulness is determined to be greater than the risk that is posed to the patient. Especially do not forcibly perform retroflexed observation when the distal end of the endoscope is contacted with the intestinal wall and occurs any of the following conditions. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result. − When the distal end does not follow by pushing and pulling the insertion section. − When feeling excessive resistance on the hand holding the insertion section. Also, do not operate the endoscope forcibly in retroflexed observation.

• Never insert or withdraw the endoscope’s insertion section while the bending section is locked in position. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result.

WARNING • Never perform flexibility adjustment, operate the bending section, feed air or perform suction, insert or withdraw the endoscope’s insertion section, or use EndoTherapy accessories without viewing the endoscopic image or while the endoscopic image is frozen. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result. • Never operate the bending section, feed air or perform suction, insert or withdraw the endoscope’s insertion section, or use EndoTherapy accessories without viewing the endoscopic image or while the endoscopic image is frozen. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result. • Never insert or withdraw the insertion section abruptly or with excessive force. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result. • Regardless of the flexibility of the endoscope’s insertion tube, never insert or withdraw the insertion section abruptly or with excessive force. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result. • If it is difficult to insert the endoscope, do not forcibly insert the endoscope; stop the endoscopy. Forcible insertion can result in patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation. • When using the electronic zoom function of the video system center, never insert or withdraw the endoscope’s insertion section or use EndoTherapy accessories while the image is magnified. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation can result. • For GIF-HQ190, CF-HQ190L/I, PCF-HQ190L/I Never insert or withdraw the endoscope’s insertion section while the focus setting is set to the near focus mode. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation can result. • Do not touch the light guide on the endoscope connector immediately after removing it from the light source because it is extremely hot. Operator or patient burns can result. • If the endoscopic image becomes dimmer during the procedure, it may indicate that blood or mucus is adhering to the light guide lens on the distal end of the endoscope or that the light guide lens has been discolored. Immediately withdraw the endoscope from the patient, remove blood or mucus, and confirm that the light guide lens has no irregularities to use it again. If you continue to use the endoscope with its obstructed or discolored light guide lens, the temperature at the distal end of the endoscope may rise, which may cause patient injury or operator and/or patient burns. • When the endoscopic image does not appear on the monitor, the image sensor may have been damaged. Turn the video system center OFF immediately. Continued power supply in such a case will cause the distal end to become hot and could cause operator and/or patient burns. • Do not rely on the NBI observation mode alone for primary detection of lesions or to make a decision regarding any potential diagnostic or therapeutic intervention.

Important Information - Please Read Before Use

CAUTION • Be sure that this endoscope is not used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment (other than the components of this endoscope or system) to avoid electromagnetic interference.

NOTE • All endoscopes listed on the front cover contain a memory chip that stores information about the endoscope and communicates this information to the video system center CV-190.

 Precautions for transnasal insertion for GIF-XP190N, GIF-H190N When performing transnasal insertion with the GIF-XP190N and GIF-H190N, follow the cautions below.

WARNING • The shape and size of the nasal cavity and its suitability for transnasal insertion may vary from patient to patient. No endoscope, including the GIF-XP190N and GIF-H190N, can always be inserted transnasally into all patients. Before proceeding, always be sure to confirm that transnasal insertion is possible with the patient by considering both the size of the patient’s nasal cavity as well as the size of the endoscope’s insertion section. Patient injury can result or the endoscope could become lodged and difficult to withdraw. • Transnasal insertion is accompanied by the risk of inflammation of the nasal cavity. If this happens, the nasal passage will be constricted, making it more difficult to withdraw the endoscope. In this case, do not use force to withdraw the endoscope because patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result. • Transnasal insertion is accompanied by the risk of bleeding in the nasal cavity. Be sure to be prepared to deal with any bleeding. When withdrawing the endoscope, observe the inside of the nasal cavity to ensure that there is no bleeding. Even when the endoscope has been withdrawn without bleeding, do not allow the patient to blow his or her nose strongly because this could cause it to start bleeding.

10

GIF/CF/PCF-190 Series OPERATION MANUAL

Important Information - Please Read Before Use

WARNING • Before transnasal insertion, apply the appropriate pretreatment and lubrication to the patient to enlarge the nasal cavity. Otherwise, patient injury can result or the endoscope could become lodged and difficult to withdraw. When applying a pretreatment agent through a tube, insert the tube into the same path as the path planned for the endoscope’s insertion. Otherwise, the treatment will have no effect. The effects of the pretreatment agent and lubricant will decrease the longer the procedure lasts. Apply the pretreatment agent or lubricant as required during the procedure - for example, when withdrawal seems to be difficult. • Transnasal insertion of the endoscope should be performed carefully. If resistance to insertion is felt, or the patient reports pain, stop the insertion immediately. Patient injury can result or the endoscope could become lodged and difficult to withdraw. • A patient’s sneezing may bend the endoscope forcefully, and it may damage the endoscope. This could cause patient bleeding and perforation, and the endoscope could become lodged and difficult to withdraw. If any irregularity is observed, stop using the endoscope and withdraw it from the patient safely. • If it becomes impossible to withdraw the transnasally inserted endoscope, pull its distal end out of the mouth, cut the flexible tube using wire cutters, and after ensuring that the cut section will not injure the body cavity or nasal cavity of the patient, withdraw the endoscope carefully. Therefore, always prepare wire cutters in advance.

 Precautions for disappeared or frozen endoscopic image WARNING • If the endoscopic image disappears unexpectedly or the frozen image cannot be restored during an examination, immediately stop using the endoscope and withdraw it from the patient as described in Section 5.3, “Withdrawal of the endoscope with an irregularity”. Inserting or withdrawing the endoscope, using EndoTherapy accessories, performing flexibility adjustment, performing suction, feeding air, or performing angulation control under these conditions could result in patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation. • Follow the precautions given below. Otherwise, the endoscopic image may disappear unexpectedly or the frozen image may not be restored during the examination. − Connect the endoscope connector to the light source completely by pushing the endoscope connector until it clicks. Otherwise, a faulty contact can result. − Do not bend, hit, pull, or twist the insertion section, bending section, control section, universal cord, and endoscope connector. The endoscope may be damaged, and water leakage and/or breakage of internal parts like the cable can result. − Before connecting the endoscope connector to the light source, confirm that the endoscope connector, including the electrical contacts, is completely dry and clean. If the endoscope is used with the electrical contacts wet and/or dirty, the endoscope and light source may malfunction. − If air bubbles emerge from the endoscope continuously during the leakage test, do not use the endoscope. Water may enter the endoscope and cause a short circuit. This may result in image sensor damage.

CAUTION • Turn the video system center ON only when the endoscope connector is connected to the light source. In particular, confirm that the video system center is OFF before connecting or disconnecting the endoscope connector. Failure to do so can result in equipment damage, including destruction of the image sensor. • Do not hit or bend the electrical contacts on the endoscope connector. The connection to the light source may be impaired and a faulty contact can result.
