3 Indications and field of application

For examination, diagnosis and therapy in conjunction with endoscopes in differ­
ent medical disciplines such as surgery, urology (transurethral resection), gyneco­
logy (myoma resection) and ENT by adequately trained and qualified medical
personnel.

4 Contraindications and side effects

4.1 Contraindications
Contraindications directly related to the product are presently unknown. On the
basis of the patient's general condition the doctor in charge must decide whether
the planned use is possible or not.
4.2 Side effects
Side effects are not known if instruments are applied as defined in the intended
use.

1 GA-S 022
5 Combinations
RIWO objective lenses are used in conjunction with endoscopes and CCD cam­
eras.

CAUTION!
Do not combine products incorrectly!
Injuries of the patient, user or others as well as damage to the product is possible.
Combine the different products only if their intended uses and relevant technical
data (working length, diameter, etc.) are the same.
Follow the instruction manual of the products used in combination with this
product.

. NOTE!
We recommend using a sterile objective lens.
When using an unsterile objective lens, the sterilizable adapter 8580.91 can be
connected between the endoscope and objective lens as an option to fasten the
drape.
This will allow subsequent endoscope changes without contaminating the sterile field
(see section 7.6).
