Description

Galaxy bronchoscope (Product GALB-001) used with Instructions for use, Part: 10000752, part of the Noah Medical Galaxy System (GAL-001)

Reason

Not all biopsy tools meant to fit bronchoscope channel (2.1mm inner diameter/length greater or equal to 1100mm) will pass through if scope channel positioned in sharp bend (approx. greater than 100-deg.), excessive force may result in tissue injury/pneumothorax; instruments with long rigid distal sections may exhibit insertion resistance when bronchoscope bending section significantly articulated.
