Chapter 4 Operation<br />

4.1 Insertion<br />

Holding and manipulating the endoscope<br />

The control section of the endoscope is designed to be held in the left hand. The<br />

air/water and suction valves can be operated using the left index finger. The<br />

UP/DOWN angulation control knob for the first bending section can be operated<br />

using the left thumb. The right hand is free to manipulate the insertion tube and<br />

the RIGHT/LEFT angulation control knob for the first bending section and the<br />

UP/DOWN angulation control knob for the second bending section (see Figure<br />

4.1).<br />

Insertion of the endoscope<br />

• To prevent the patient from accidentally biting the insertion<br />

tube during an examination, it is strongly recommended that<br />

a mouthpiece be placed in the patient's mouth before<br />

inserting the endoscope.<br />

• Do not apply olive oil or products containing petroleum-based<br />

lubricants (e.g. vaseline). These products may cause<br />

stretching and deterioration of the bending section’s<br />

covering.<br />
