must be cleaned and sterilized prior to the first use and every subsequent
use. See the "Cleaning and Maintenance" section for details.

Ureteroscope in a surgical procedure.
11. This manual does not provide information specific to each instrument
that may be used. Read and understand all user instructions associated
with each instrument prior to use.
12. Clean the ureteroscope immediately after the surgical procedure or blood
and mucus may dry in the working channels and become difficult to
remove, compromising the future sterility of the ureteroscope.
13. Allow semi-rigid ureteroscope to immerse in enzymatic solution for a set
period of time while cleaning or infection may result.
14. Use only instruments that provide sufficient patient isolation.
Instruments cannot depend on the ureteroscope to provide patient
isolation.

Semi-Rigid Ureteroscope. Please contact the solution manufacturer for
specific product information and contraindications.
16. Never look directly at the light emitted from the endoscopic light source,
light guide, or ureteroscope. Damage to the eye may result.
17. Use only non-conductive light guides in conjunction with this product or
user and/or patient injury may occur.
18. Never leave the ureteroscope unattended while attached to a high-
intensity light source. Heat from the light source may ignite drapes or
similar materials if left unattended.
19. Do not sterilize the Semi-Rigid Ureteroscope using methods other than
those described in this manual. Infection or device damage may result.
20. The surface temperature of the Semi-Rigid Ureteroscope may exceed
41° C due to the heat produced by the illumination source used. Handle
the heated ureteroscope carefully as it can cause injury such as burns,
permanent tissue damage or coagulation. Prior to disconnecting light
guides or light guide connectors, turn off the illumination source and
allow the ureteroscope to cool.
