Ambu aScope Gastro Instrucciones De Uso página 14

Holding and manoeuvring the aScope Gastro
•
The control section of the aScope Gastro is designed to be held in the operator's
left hand.
•
The suction and insufflation/rinsing valves can be operated using the left index and
middle fingers.
•
The Up/Down control wheel can be operated using the left thumb and supporting
fingers.
•
The operator's right hand is free to manipulate the distal section via the insertion
tube of the endoscope.
•
The right hand is intended to adjust the Right/Left control wheel and the
angulation locks.
Angulation of the distal end
•
Operate the angulation control wheels as necessary to guide the distal end during
insertion and observation.
•
The aScope Gastro's angulation locks are used to hold the angulated distal end
in position.
Insufflation/rinsing
•
Cover the opening of the insufflation/rinsing valve to feed CO₂ from the insufflation/
rinsing nozzle at the distal tip.
• Fully depress the insufflation/rinsing valve to feed sterile water onto the objective lens.
Instillation of fluids
•
Fluids can be injected through the working channel by inserting a syringe into the
working channel port of the aScope Gastro. Insert the syringe completely into the
port and press the plunger to inject fluid.
•
Make sure you do not apply suction during this process, as this will redirect the
injected fluids into the suction system.
Auxiliary water jet system
•
Activate the auxiliary water jet system to apply irrigation.
•
A delay in irrigation may be experienced if the auxiliary water jet system has not
been pre-filled during the pre-procedural preparation.
Suction
•
Press the suction valve to aspirate excess fluids or other debris obscuring the
endoscopic image.
•
For optimal suction capability, it is recommended to remove endotherapy
accessories entirely during suction.
•
Should the suction valve on the aScope Gastro clog, remove and clean it or replace it
with the spare suction valve attached on the mounting card.
Insertion of endotherapy accessories
Always make sure to select the correct size of gastrointestinal endotherapy accessories for
use in combination with the aScope Gastro by consulting respective IFUs. Accessories
should be compatible if they are designed for working channels with an inner diameter
(ID) of 2.8 mm/8.4 Fr or less. However, there is no guarantee that accessories selected using
only this minimum working channel size will be compatible with the aScope Gastro. Thus,
compatibility of selected accessories should be assessed prior to the procedure.
•
Inspect the endotherapy accessory before use. Replace it if there is any irregularity in
its operation or external appearance.
•
Confirm that the tip of the endotherapy accessory is closed or retracted into its sheath.
