Notes
Read this owner’s manual before operating, and save the manual for future reference. Failure to read and thoroughly
understand the information presented in this manual, as well as those developed for ancillary endoscopic equipment and
accessories, may result in serious injury including infection by cross contamination to the patient and/or user. Furthermore,
failure to follow the instructions in this manual may result in damage to, and/or malfunction of, the equipment.
This manual describes the recommended procedures for inspecting and preparing the equipment prior to its use and for the
reprocessing and maintenance of the equipment after its use.
It does not describe how an actual procedure is to be performed, nor does it attempt to teach the beginner the proper technique
or any medical aspects regarding the use of the equipment.
It is the responsibility of each medical facility to ensure that only well educated and appropriately trained personnel, who are
competent and knowledgeable about the endoscopic equipment, antimicrobial agents/processes and hospital infection control
protocol be involved in the use and the reprocessing of these medical devices. Known risks and/or potential injuries associated
with flexible endoscopic procedures include, but are not limited to, the following: perforation, infection, hemorrhage, burns and
electric shock.
Current Infection control guidelines require that cystoscopes and other semi-critical medical devices, that normally come into
contact with intact mucous membranes, such as in the urinary tract, must at least be cleaned and high-level disinfected before
clinical use. Only the user can determine if an instrument has undergone appropriate infection control procedures prior to each
clinical use. It must be recognized that infection control practices involve many complex and often controversial issues which are
constantly evolving. PENTAX strongly recommends that user remain informed of the latest federal and local regulations, and
encourages users to follow infection control guidelines developed by various organizations for health care professionals.
