Instructions for use: rigid medical endoscopes

7. Preparation for use

7.1.

Visual inspection and function check

WARNING: Risk of injury due to faulty endoscopes!
Carry out a visual inspection and function check prior to initial use as well as each additional use.
Only use endoscopes which are in perfect condition.
Clean / disinfect and sterilise the endoscope prior to initial use as well as each additional use of
the endoscope. Contaminants on the irradiation surface of the illumination fibres can burn in during use,
which impacts image quality.
Ensure that the proximal end of the endoscope is dry to prevent the endoscope from fogging up
during the examination / procedure.
Ensure that no parts are missing or loose.
Ensure that there are no residual cleaning agents or disinfectants on the endoscope.
Inspect the entire endoscope, particularly the sheath, for contaminants and damage of any type,
such as dents, scratches, cracks, bending and sharp edges.
Inspect distal end, proximal end and irradiation surface of the illumination fibres for contamina-
tion and scratches. Make contaminants and scratches visible using light reflexes. Hold the connection of
the optical fibres against the light and inspect whether the optical fibres illuminate evenly at the distal end.
Check image quality: the image may not be blurry, clouded or dark. If necessary, remove deposits
on the optical end surface using polishing paste provided, see "Removing deposits from optical end sur-
faces" on page 8.
For endoscopes with locking device: Inspect between the sheath and the main part for contami-
nants and damage to ensure a fixed and secure connection.
For endoscopes with working channel: Inspect all components of the adapter with stopcock for
function and damage.
Inspect free passage of the working channels.
7.2.

Provisioning

Clean / disinfect and sterilise the endoscope prior to initial use as well as each additional use of the endos-
cope, see "Processing" on page 7.
Ensure that the proximal end of the endoscope is dry to prevent the endoscope from fogging up during the
examination/ procedure.
If necessary mount adapter for illumination fibre, see "Assembly" on page 10.
Mount illumination fibre (see manufacturer's specifications).
If required, adapt the camera (see manufacturer's specifications).

8. Use

WARNING: Risk of burns!
The optical fibres emit high-energy light at the distal end of the endoscope. This can cause the temperature
of the body tissue to rise to 41°C.
Avoid direct contact of the distal end with body tissue or flammable materials as it can cause
burns.
Reduce the light intensity of the cold light source when working near body tissue or flammable
materials.
