Safety Information

General Cautions

The following caution statements apply to use of the XL Vu device
in general. Caution statements that apply specifically to particular
procedures appear in the corresponding sections of the manual.
HANDLE PROBE CAREFULLY. Keep the insertion tube away from sharp
objects that might penetrate its outer sheath. Keep the whole insertion
tube as straight as possible during operation; loops or bends anywhere
in the tube decrease its ability to steer the probe tip. Avoid bending the
insertion tube sharply.
Note: Always use the Home button to straighten the bending neck
before withdrawing insertion tube from inspection area or putting probe
away. Never pull, twist, or straighten the bending neck by hand; internal
damage may result. At the first sign of damage, return the probe for
repair.
Certain substances may damage the probe. For a list of substances that
are safe for the probe, see "Chemical Compatibility" in the Appendix.
