Actions
• Whenever using the system, minimize bends throughout the entire length of the
insertion tube, including the end nearest to the handset. Unnecessary bending can
reduce articulation.
• Redistribute the lubricant inside the insertion tube as follows. Straighten the insertion
tube to its full length, with Person A holding it near where it joins the handset (to
stabilize the probe), and Person B holding it just before the bending neck (to prevent
damaging the bending neck). Have Person B shake the entire tube. CAUTION: Do not
pull on the probe tip or the bending neck while shaking the tube. The mechanical cables
could break.
• Exit any mode the system may be in.
• Turn power switch off. Leave the system off for at least 15 seconds so that it can
complete its shutdown sequence. Then turn it back on.
Remove the funnel. Clear any obstruction or binding. For an illustration of removing the
