3.2 Telescope A telescope is a rigid endoscope. An image relay system of rod lenses transmits the endoscopic image. A bundle of optical fibers transmits light from an external light source to illuminate the endoscopic image. The endoscopic image can be viewed using the eyepiece cup or by connecting a compatible camera head. Telescopes are precise optical devices which are very sensitive to mechanical impacts. For information on compatibility, refer to the chapter “Compatible equipment” on page 42.

Preparation
4 Preparation 4.1 Safety information for preparation WARNING Risk of injury to the patient and/or the medical personnel Improper and/or incomplete reprocessing can cause infection of the patient and/or medical personnel as well as damage to the product. •• Reprocess the product before first and each subsequent use. •• For reprocessing the product, observe the instructions in the chapter “Reprocessing” on page 23. •• Do not use a product that has not been reprocessed. •• Before each use, inspect the product as described in the section “Inspection” on page 15. •• Do not use a damaged product. WARNING Risk of injury to the patient If the light-guide cable is not properly connected to the endoscope or the light source, the endoscopic image may suddenly disappear during the procedure. This may lead to mechanical injury to the patient. •• Properly connect the adapters to the light-guide cable and the endoscope. •• Properly connect the light-guide cable to the endoscope and the light source.
4.2 Inspection Inspection regarding reprocessing •• Make sure that the product has been properly reprocessed. •• Visually inspect the product thoroughly. The product must be visually clean.
15
Preparation General inspection of the telescope
•• Check that the product has: -- no dents, cracks, bending, or deformations -- no deep scratches -- no corrosion -- no lens damages or cover glass damages -- no missing or loose parts •• Check all markings on the product for clear visibility. CAUTION Risk of injury to the user There is a risk of damaging the eye when looking into the distal end of the endoscope and the light source is switched on. •• Do not look into the distal end of the endoscope when the light source is switched on. Checking the light transmission •• Hold the distal end of the telescope against a lamp. •• Look into the light-guide connector of the telescope. Black dots indicate defective light-guide fibers. •• Do not use a telescope with more than 25 to 30% defective light-guide fibers.
16
Preparation Checking the image quality •• Hold a piece of writing in the usual working distance from the objective cover glass. •• Check if the writing is clearly visible through the telescope. •• Check that the image is not cloudy, out of focus or dark. •• Only use the telescope if the writing is clearly visible through the telescope.
4.3 Assembly and connection If force is required for assembly: 1. Check the compatibility of the equipment. 2. If necessary, dispose of the product and use another one. 4.3.1 Selecting compatible system components •• Refer to the chapter “Compatible equipment” on page 42 to identify the compatible system components. •• Observe the instructions for use of the compatible system components. 4.3.2 Connecting the light-guide cable •• Refer to the chapter “Compatible equipment” on page 42 to identify the compatible light-guide cable. •• If applicable, remove inappropriate light-guide adapters from the telescope. •• Observe the instructions for use of the light-guide cable.
17
Preparation
1. Connect the light-guide cable to the light-guide connector of the telescope. 2. Screw the light-guide cable onto the thread of the light-guide connector. 4.3.3 Connecting the video adapter and/or camera head •• Refer to the chapter “Compatible equipment” on page 42 to identify the compatible equipment. •• Observe the instructions for use of the compatible equipment.

Use
5 Use 5.1 Safety information for use WARNING Risk of injury to the patient There is a risk of electric shock if the following conditions apply simultaneously: -- The telescope is inserted in the patient. -- The light-guide cable is connected to the telescope but not to the light source. -- The light source connector of the light-guide cable comes in contact with a conductive surface. •• Completely connect the endoscope before inserting the endoscope into the patient. WARNING Risk of injury to the patient When energized endoscopes are used in combination with HF surgical equipment, there are several risks of injury to the patient. •• Follow the instructions for use of all devices connected to the endoscope for safe application. CAUTION Risk of injury to the patient Light sources emit large amounts of energy. As a result the connectors of the endoscopic equipment and the distal end of the endoscope become hot. There is a risk of: -- thermal injury to the patient’s tissue (e.g., from prolonged exposure to the intense illumination in cavities with small lumens, or if the distal end of the endoscope is placed into close proximity to the tissue). -- burns to the patient’s or user’s skin. -- burns or thermal damage to surgical equipment (e.g., surgical drapes, plastic materials). •• Do not place the endoscopic equipment on the patient’s skin, on flammable materials, or on heat-sensitive materials.
19
Use •• Set the output power of the light source to the minimum level that is necessary for a sufficient illumination of the target area. Avoid prolonged exposure to intense illumination. •• Switch off the light source or set the light source to standby mode whenever the light source is not in use. CAUTION Risk of injury to the patient Light sources emit large amounts of energy. As a result, the temperatures in front of the light emission surface increase. There is a risk of thermal injury to the patient’s tissue. •• Do not use high intensity illumination in cavities with small lumens. •• Do not use high intensity illumination when the distal end of the endoscope is placed into close proximity to the tissue. •• If the distal end is soiled and impairs proper visualization, remove the endoscope and clean the distal end. CAUTION Risk of injury to the user The light-guide connector on the endoscope becomes hot. There is a risk of burns if the endoscope is held by hand for a longer period. •• Avoid touching the light-guide connector when holding the endoscope.
20
After use
6 After use 6.1 Removal and disassembly 1. Switch off the light source. CAUTION Risk of injury to the user The connectors on the endoscope become hot. There is a risk of burns when touching the connectors. •• Let the endoscope cool down after use. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Disconnect the light-guide cable from the light source. Disconnect the light-guide cable from the telescope. If applicable, remove the adapters. If applicable, remove the camera head.
If force is required for disassembly, dispose of the product.
6.2 Preparation for reprocessing at the point of use WARNING Risk of injury to the patient and/or the medical personnel If instruments are left in dry condition for a longer period, heavy debris may dry to the instrument, leading to incrustations that may be difficult to remove. •• Do not leave used instruments overnight before reprocessing. •• Reprocess this product immediately after use. Immediately after use 1. Immediately after use, prepare reusable instruments for reprocessing as described in this section. 2. Remove heavy debris from the product by wiping with an appropriate, single-use lint-free cloth or sponge. 3. Separate telescopes from other instruments. 4. Bring the product to the reprocessing area.
