OSF TYPE V60 OPERATION MANUAL
Important Information — Please Read
Before Use
Intended Use
This instrument has been designed to be used with an Olympus Video System
Center, Documentation Equipment, Display Monitor, Endo-Therapy Accessories
(such as a Forceps) and other ancillary equipment for endoscopy and
endoscopic surgery within the lower digestive tract (including the anus, rectum
and sigmoid colon).
Do not use this instrument for any purpose other than its intended use.
Applicability of Endoscopy and Endoscopic Treatment
If there is an official standard on the applicability of endoscopy and endoscopic
treatment that is defined by the hospital’s administration or other official
institutions such as academic societies on endoscopy, follow that standard.
Before starting endoscopy and endoscopic treatment, thoroughly evaluate its
properties, purposes, effects, and possible risk (their natures, extent and
probability). Perform endoscopy and endoscopic treatment only when its
potential benefits are greater than its risks.
Fully explain to the patient the potential benefits and risks of the endoscopy and
endoscopic treatment as well as any examination/treatment methods that can be
performed in its place, and perform the endoscopy and endoscopic treatment
only after obtaining the consent of the patient.
Even after starting the endoscopy and endoscopic treatment, continue to
evaluate the potential benefits and risks, and immediately stop the
endoscopy/treatment and take proper measures if the risks to the patient
become greater than the potential benefits.

compatible with the ancillary equipment being used. Using incompatible
equipment can result in patient injury or equipment damage.
Reprocessing and Storage
This instrument was not disinfected or sterilized before shipment. Before using
this instrument for the first time, reprocess it according to the instructions given
in the endoscope’s companion manual, the “OLYMPUS OSF TYPE V60
ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSING MANUAL”.
After using this instrument, reprocess and store it according to the instructions

OSF TYPE V60 OPERATION MANUAL
• Do not strike, bend, hit, pull, twist, or drop the endoscope’s
distal end, insertion tube, bending section, control section,
universal cord, or endoscope connector of the endoscope
with excessive force. The endoscope may be damaged and
could cause patient injury, burns, bleeding and/or
perforations. It could also cause parts of the endoscope to fall
off inside the patient.
• Never perform angulation control forcibly or abruptly. Never
forcefully pull, twist or rotate the angulated bending section.
Patient injury, bleeding and/or perforation can result. It may
also become impossible to straighten the bending section
during an examination.
• Never perform angulation control, air feed control, suction
control or insertion/withdrawal of the endoscope’s Insertion
Tube without viewing the endoscopic image. Patient injury
can result.
• Do not operate the Bending Section, feed air or apply
suction, insert or withdraw the endoscope’s Insertion Tube
while the image is frozen. This could result in patient injury.
• Do not touch the Light Guide immediately after removing it
from the Light Source because it is extremely hot.
• Do not pull the Universal Cord. The Endoscope Connector
Section will be pulled out from the output socket of the Light
Source and the endoscopic image will not be visible.
• Do not coil the Insertion Tube or Universal Cord with a
diameter of less than 12 cm. Equipment damage can result.
• To avoid damage to the CCD, do not touch the electrical
contacts inside the Electrical Connector.
• Do not apply shock to the Distal End of the Insertion Tube,
particularly the Objective Lens surface of the Distal End.
Vision abnormalities may result.
• Do not twist or bend the Bending Section by hand.
Equipment damage may result.
• Do not squeeze the Bending Section forcefully. The covering
of the Bending Section may stretch or break and cause water
leaks.
• Turn the Video System Center power switch OFF when
attaching or detaching the Electrical Connector. Failure to do
this can result in equipment damage, including destruction of
the CCD.

• The Remote Switch cannot be removed from the Control
Section of the endoscope. Pressing or pulling it with
excessive force can break it.
• If the Remote Switch does not return to the OFF position
after being pressed strongly from the side, gently tug the
switch upwards to return it to the OFF position.
• Do not hit or bend the Electrical Contacts on the Endoscope
Connector Section. The connection to the Light Source may
be impaired and faulty contact can result.
Details on clinical endoscopic technique are the responsibility of trained
specialists. Patient safety in endoscopic examinations and endoscopic treatment
can be ensured through appropriate handling by the physician and the medical
facility. Examples of inappropriate handling are given below.
• Over-insufflating the lumen may cause patient pain and/or perforation.
• Using improperly or incompletely reprocessed or stored instruments
may cause patient cross-contamination and infection.
• Applying prolonged suction with the Distal End in contact with the
mucosal surface may cause bleeding or suction lesions.
• Retroflexing the endoscope within colon may cause mucosal trauma or
impaction of the endoscope.
• Inserting and using Endo-Therapy Accessories without a clear
endoscopic image may cause burns or perforation.
• Patient injury may be caused by; inserting or withdrawing the
endoscope, feeding air or applying suction without a clear endoscopic
image; withdrawing the endoscope with the angulation controls locked;
forcefully pulling, twisting or rotating the angulated Bending Section.
