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. • Do not strike, hit, or drop the distal end, insertion tube, bending section, control section, or light guide connector of the endoscope. Also, do not bend, pull, or twist the distal end, insertion tube, bending section, control section, or light guide 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. It may also become impossible to straighten the bending section during an examination. • Never operate the bending section or insert or withdraw the endoscope’s insertion section without viewing the endoscopic image. 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. • Never insert or withdraw the insertion section abruptly or with excessive force. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result. • Do not touch the light guide connector of the endoscope while using the endoscope because it is extremely hot. Operator or patient burns can result. • Do not touch the metal part of the light guide cable immediately after removing it from the light source because it is extremely hot. Operator or patient burns can result. • Do not touch the light guide connector of the endoscope immediately after using the endoscope because it is extremely hot.

Important Information - Please Read Before Use

WARNING • Although the illumination light emitted from the distal end of the endoscope is required for endoscopic observation, it may also cause alteration of living tissues such as protein denaturation of living tissue and perforation of the tissue through improper usage. Observe the following warnings for illumination.  Always set the minimum required brightness. Refer to the instruction manual for the light source for further details.  Always maintain a suitable distance necessary for adequate viewing while using the minimum level of illumination for the minimum amount of time. Do not use close stationary viewing or leave the distal end of the endoscope close to the mucous membrane for a long time without necessity.  When the endoscope will not be used for a long period, be sure to turn OFF the light source or activate the light shield function (standby mode, etc.) so that the endoscope is not illuminated unnecessarily. • Light emitted from the device can be hazardous to the eye. Keep the light off when the device is not in use. Do not view directly into the light beam and do not point the light beam to any persons. This may cause harm to the retina and damage the person’s vision. • 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. 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 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. • The shape and size of the nasal cavity and its suitability for transnasal insertion may vary from patient to patient. No endoscope, including this one, 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.

ENF-GP2 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. • If it becomes impossible to withdraw the transnasally inserted endoscope, pull the distal end of the endoscope 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. • Only use Olympus light guide cables (WA03300A, WA03200A, A3093, A3293) with this endoscope. Other light guide cables could cause the control section of the endoscope to overheat, which could cause operator burns.

CAUTION • Do not pull the light guide cable. The light guide will be pulled out from the output socket of the light source and the endoscopic image will disappear. • Do not coil the insertion tube with a diameter of less than 10 cm. Equipment damage may result. • Do not attempt to bend or twist the endoscope’s insertion section with excessive force. The insertion section may be damaged. • Do not apply shock to the distal end of the endoscope, in particular the objective lens surface at the distal end of the endoscope. An abnormal endoscopic image may result. • If the endoscope is dropped or the distal end of the endoscope receives a hard impact, the endoscope may be damaged even if no visible damage of the lens on the distal end of the endoscope can be found. In this case, stop using the endoscope, and contact Olympus. • Do not twist or bend the bending section with your hands. Equipment damage may result. • Do not squeeze the bending section forcefully. The covering of the bending section may stretch or break and cause water leakage. • The eyepiece section cannot be removed. Do not attempt to rotate it by force. ENF-GP2 OPERATION MANUAL

Important Information - Please Read Before Use

 Examples of inappropriate handling Details on clinical endoscopic technique are the responsibility of trained specialists. Patient safety in endoscopic examinations can be ensured through appropriate handling by the physician and the medical facility. Examples of inappropriate handling are described below.

WARNING • The endoscope has not been designed for use in retroflexed observation. Performing retroflexed observation in a narrow lumen may make it impossible to straighten the angle of the bending section and/or withdraw the endoscope from the patient. Retroflexed observation should be performed only when the usefulness of doing so is determined to be greater than the risk that is posed to the patient. • Inserting or withdrawing the endoscope or operating the bending section without a clear endoscopic image may cause patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation.
