Warnings

‍

This device is used only by trained medical professionals, and your surgeon will decide whether it is appropriate for your specific condition. Your surgical team follows strict safety procedures, including checking all instruments before surgery, using only sterile and single use items as intended, and disposing of medical waste safely. They also monitor the equipment throughout the procedure to ensure clear visibility and proper function, and they take steps to prevent issues such as fogging, debris buildup, or heat from surgical tools. Your surgeon will avoid using the endoscope near MRI machines or certain types of imaging equipment when it could pose a risk. If any equipment concerns or unexpected issues arise, your surgical team will address them immediately to help ensure your safety. If you have any questions or concerns, please discuss them with your health care provider.
