Intended Use

This instrument is intended to be used with a PENTAX Video Processor (including light source), documentation equipment, Monitor, Endotherapy Device such as a Biopsy Forceps, and other ancillary equipment for endoscopy and endoscopic surgery within the lower digestive tract including the anus, rectum, sigmoid colon, colon and ileocecal valve.

Device Description

The PENTAX Video Colonoscopes (EC Family), Model Numbers: EC-3890TLK, EC-2990Li, EC-3490Li, EC-3890Li, EC-3490TLi, EC-3490LK, EC-3890LK, EC-3890LZi, EC34-i10L, EC38i10L are used with a Video Processor. The EC-3890TLK is composed of the following main parts: an Insertion Portion, Control Body and PVE Connector. The Insertion Portion is inserted into the body cavity of patient. The Insertion includes the Distal End and Bending Section. The Objective Lens, Light Guide, Instrument Channel, Air/Water Nozzle, and Water Jet Nozzle are located on the Distal End of the Insertion Portion. The Control Body is held by the user's hand. The Control Body includes the Angulation Control Knob, Angulation Lock Knob/Lever, Air/Water, Suction Cylinder, Remote Button, Suction Selector Cylinder, and Instrument Channel Inlet. The AirMater Feeding Valve is attached to the Air/Water Cylinder, and the Suction Control Valve is attached to the Suction Cylinder. The Suction Channel Selector is attached to the Suction Selector Cylinder. The Inlet Seal is attached to the Instrument Channel Inlet. The PVE Connector is connected to the Video Processor via an Electrical Contacts. The Bending Section is bent by the Angulation Control Knob to operate the endoscope anqulation. The Angulation Lock Knob/Lever is used to adjust the rotation torque of the Angulation Control Knob. The Air/Water Feeding System is used to deliver the air and water to the Objective Lens from the AirMater Nozzle. When the hole at the top of Air/Water Feeding Valve is covered, the air is delivered. When the Air/Water Feeding Valve is pushed, the water is delivered. The Suction Control System is used to suction the fluid and air in body cavity from the Instrument Channel. When the Suction Control Valve is pushed, the fluid and air are suctioned. The EC-3890TLK has two channels; the primary channel and secondary one. Suction Channel Selector is used to switch between the primary and secondary channels as necessary. The Remote Button is used to operate the function of video processor and external device from the control body, as necessary. Endotherapy Device such as Biopsy Forceps is inserted from the Instrument Channel Inlet into the body cavity through the instrument channel. The Water Jet System is used to stream forward the sterile water from Water Jet Nozzle. The Light Guide of the Distal End is used to illuminate the body cavity by light which is carried through the Light Carrying Bundle. The Light Carrying Bundle guides the light from Light Guide Plug which is connected to the Light Source inside the Video Processor. The CCD built into the Distal End receives reflected light (image data) from the body cavity, and sends the image data to the Video Processor through the video cable. The image data are converted into the image signal by the Video Processor, and the image inside the body cavity is displayed on the Monitor.
