Operating The Device - Ambu aScope Gastro Bedienungsanleitung

• Connect the other end of the suction tube to the suction container and establish a
connection to the external vacuum source (wall suction or medical suction pump)
from here. Always follow the IFU of ancillary equipment.
•
Turn the ancillary equipment back ON.
4.4. Inspection of the endoscopic system
Checking the working channel
•
Confirm that the biopsy valve is attached to the working channel port.
•
Gastrointestinal endotherapy accessories labelled for use with a working channel
with an inner diameter (ID) of 2.8 mm/8.4 Fr or less are compatible.
There is no guarantee that endotherapy accessories selected using only this
minimum working channel size will be compatible with the aScope Gastro.
• Compatibility of selected endotherapy accessories should be tested prior to procedure.
Inspection of the image
•
Verify that a live video image and correct orientation appears on the monitor by pointing
the distal end of the aScope Gastro towards an object, e.g. the palm of your hand.
•
Adjust the image preferences on the aBox 2 if necessary. See aBox 2 IFU for
further details.
•
If the image is impaired and/or unclear, wipe the lens at the distal tip using a sterile cloth.
•
The images must not be used as an independent source for diagnosis of any
pathology. Physicians must interpret and qualify any findings by other means and in
the light of the patient's clinical characteristics.
Checking the remote switches/programmable buttons
• All remote switches/programmable buttons should be checked to work normally
even if they are not expected to be used.
•
Press every remote switch/programmable button and confirm that the specified
function works as expected.
•
Each remote switch/programmable button can be programmed to be sensitive on
both short and long press. See aBox 2 IFU for further details.
Checking the suction, rinsing and insufflation functionality
•
Check that the suction and insufflation/rinsing valves work as expected by pressing
the suction and insufflation/rinsing valves.
•
Cover the opening of the insufflation/rinsing valve and confirm that the insufflation
function works properly.
• Fully depress the insufflation/rinsing valve and confirm that the rinsing function
works properly.
Checking the auxiliary water jet functionality
•
Check the auxiliary water jet system by activating the auxiliary irrigation pump and
confirm that irrigation function works properly.

4.5. Operating the device

Insertion of the aScope Gastro
•
Insert a suitable mouthpiece and place it between the patient's teeth or gums.
•
If necessary, apply a medical-grade lubricant as denoted in sec. 2.2 to the distal
section of the endoscope.
• Insert the distal end of the aScope Gastro through the opening of the mouthpiece,
then from the mouth to the pharynx while viewing the endoscopic image. Do not
insert the aScope Gastro beyond the proximal end maximum length mark.
