General Cautions - GE XL Lv Manual

General Cautions

The following caution statements apply to use of the XL Lv 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.
