provided power cord has been designed exclusively for the endoscopic CO2
regulation unit and should not be used with other equipment.
• Be sure to turn the endoscopic CO2 regulation unit OFF after use. If it is left ON
after examination/operation, an accidental contact with the start/stop switch may
start gas supply. This will not only empty the CO2 gas cylinder but may also
increase the CO2 concentration in the environment.
• Use the endoscopic CO2 regulation unit only under the conditions described in
“Transportation, storage, and operating environments” on page 69. Use under
other conditions may not only impair the normal performance, but may also result in
equipment damage.

 Use in combination with the upper/lower gastrointestinal

endoscope

WARNING
• Over-insufflating the lumen may cause patient pain, injury, bleeding, gas embolism
and/or perforation.
• Anytime you observe an irregularity in the endoscopic CO2 regulation unit,
immediately stop using the endoscopic CO2 regulation unit and withdraw the
endoscope from the patient slowly as described in the endoscope’s instruction
manual.
• The CO2 gas is normally emitted through the small hole in the endoscope’s
air/water valve. Persons in the operating room may be affected if the CO2
concentration in the operating room increases. Be sure to ensure ventilation of the
room.
• During use, always stop the device like light source from supplying air. If “Stop” is
not selected, a mixture of air and CO2 may be supplied into the patient body.
• To prevent the water in the water feed tank from flowing into this unit through the
gas tube, install this unit in a position as high as possible compared to the water
feed tank.

UCR INSTRUCTION MANUAL 11

 Important Information — Please Read Before Use

 Use in combination with the lens cleaning sheath

WARNING
• Anytime you observe an irregularity in the endoscopic CO2 regulation unit,
immediately stop using the endoscopic CO2 regulation unit and withdraw the
endoscope from the patient slowly as described in the instruction manual for the
lens cleaning sheath.
• To prevent gas embolism caused by intra-abdominal over-pressurization from the
combined use of the lens cleaning sheath and a laser device, argon-enhanced
coagulator, or other gas supply devices, carefully read and understand the
following before using in case the insufflator is used in operation:
− When performing endoscopic operation using a lens cleaning sheath and a
laser device, argon-enhanced coagulator, or other gas supply devices
simultaneously, both instruments become a source of supply for gas.
Accordingly, the desired pressure in the abdomen is reached in a shorter time
than when a lens cleaning sheath is used alone. In these cases, be careful that
the cavity does not become over-pressurized. The laser device,
argon-enhanced coagulator, and other gas supply devices are not equipped to
monitor the cavity pressure (automatic termination of insufflation, warning light
or alarm). Although the insufflator is equipped with these functions, it does not
always prevent gas embolism inasmuch as this depends on the patient and the
condition of the infected area. We ask that the physicians make a suitable
judgment from a professional standpoint himself.
− If the insufflator emits a caution (caution light or alarm) for cavity
over-pressurization, quickly open the stopcock or valve of the trocar. Then,
reduce the amount of outflow from the laser device, argon-enhanced
coagulator, or other gas supply device. If use is continued while the alarm
sounds, there is a risk of gas embolism due to cavity over-pressurization.
• Be careful not to feed CO2 too much during CO2 gas feed or spraying. Excessive
CO2 gas feed/spraying may cause pain to the patient and/or gas embolism.
Reduce the use of CO2 gas feed and spraying at the requisite minimum level.
• In case the insufflator is used in operation, open the trocar cannula stopcock if the
pressure in the abdomen exceeds the set pressure by more than 5 mmHg.
• Do not attempt to insufflate the abdominal cavity using the lens cleaning sheath.
Otherwise, patient injury and/or gas embolism may result.
• Do not use the endoscopic CO2 regulation unit in combination with other than the
compatible lens cleaning sheath (with the MAJ-1345, MAJ-1537, or MAJ-659, for
example). Otherwise, CO2 gas is fed continuously and patient pain and gas
embolism can result.

 5.1 Precaution for operation

Chapter 5 Operation

5.1 Precaution for operation

This chapter explains the workflow of endoscopic observation using the endoscopic CO2 regulation
unit.
The operator of the endoscopic CO2 regulation unit must be a physician or medical personnel under
the supervision of a physician and must have received sufficient training in clinical endoscopic
technique. This manual, therefore, does not explain or discuss clinical endoscopic procedures. It only
describes basic operation and precautions related to the operation of the endoscopic CO2 regulation
unit.
When using the lens cleaning sheath, follow the instructions given in the manual for the lens cleaning
sheath.

WARNING
• The CO2 gas is normally emitted through the small hole in the endoscope’s
Ch.5
air/water valve. Persons in the operating room may be affected if the CO2
concentration in the operating room increases. Be sure to ensure ventilation of the
room.
• If an irregularity is observed or the gas flow indicator illuminates red, immediately
stop using the endoscopic CO2 regulation unit and take the following actions:
− Close the gas cylinder valve.
− Withdraw the endoscope from the patient slowly as described in the
endoscope’s instruction manual.
• During use, always stop the device like light source from supplying air. If “Stop” is
not selected, a mixture of air and CO2 may be supplied into the patient body.
• After an examination is completed, turn OFF the endoscopic CO2 regulation unit. If
the unit is not turned OFF after an examination, the unit may continue to supply gas
when the gas supply button is pressed by mistake. In such a case, the CO2 gas
cylinder may be emptied, and the ambient CO2 concentration may increase.

CAUTION
Be sure to stop the gas supply from the endoscopic CO2 regulation unit before
disconnecting any gas tubes, water container, endoscope, or lens cleaning sheath.
As the gas supply is not designed to automatically stop when disconnection takes
place, replacing the endoscope without stopping the gas flow will not only empty
the CO2 gas cylinder but may also increase the CO2 concentration in the
environment.

NOTE
When the endoscopic CO2 regulation unit is combined with the Gas tube
(MAJ-1741), the Low flow gas tube (MAJ-1742), or Extra low flow gas tube
(MAJ-1816), the gas flow rate is approximately equivalent to that when the airflow

infectious material adhering to the endoscopic CO2 regulation unit could pose an
infection control risk.
• Do not apply spray-type medical agents such as rubbing alcohol directly to the
endoscopic CO2 regulation unit and accessories. Medical agents may enter the
endoscopic CO2 regulation unit and accessories through the ventilation grills
and/or the gaps and may cause a fire and/or equipment damage.
• Use a surface disinfectant cleaner cleared/approved by your national or local
regulatory agencies. Furthermore, surface disinfectant cleaner should have an
antiseptic solution that allows them to apply to medical products. Using an
Ch.6 unauthorized surface disinfectant cleaner may result in insufficient disinfecting
effect.
• As for the use of chemicals, be sure to follow instructions of chemicals
manufacturer. Failure to follow manufacturer's instructions may result in insufficient
cleaning and disinfecting effects.
• When residual organic debris attached to this product, residual organic debris will
begin to dry and solidify, hindering effective removal and reprocessing efficacy.
• Wipe remaining surface disinfectant cleaner according to instructions of surface
disinfectant cleaner manufacturer. Failure to do may adversely affect the human
body or this instrument.
• When patient debris enters the hole or gap of this instrument, contact Olympus
without using it. If you try to disinfect by force, the medicine will get inside this
instrument, causing fire and malfunction of this instrument.
