•

After using this instrument, reprocess and store it according to the instructions given in the endoscope’s companion reprocessing manual whose cover lists the model of your endoscope. 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. If performing high-frequency cauterization treatment becomes necessary while the patient wears a metallic object, it may cause burns on the patient in areas around the metallic object.

•

Do not strike, bend, hit, pull, twist, or drop 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.

Important Information - Please Read Before Use

•

When performing transnasal insertion of the GIF-N260, please follow the cautions below. − 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 with all patients. Before proceeding, always be sure to confirm that transnasal insertion is possible with the patient by always considering both the size of the patient’s nasal cavity as well as the size of the endoscope’s insertion tube. Otherwise, operator and/or patient injury can result or the endoscope could become lodged and be 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 such as bleeding 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 Even when the endoscope has been withdrawn without bleeding, do not allow the patient to blow his or her nose strongly because this could cause it to start bleeding. − Before transnasal insertion, apply the appropriate pretreatment and lubrication to the patient to enlarge the nasal cavity. Otherwise, operator and/or patient injury can result or the endoscope could become lodged and be 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 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 insertion immediately. Otherwise, operator and/or patient injury can result or the endoscope could become lodged and be difficult to withdraw.
