Issue
Under certain conditions during endoscopic procedures using a combination of the video processor EPK-i8020c and the i20c series video endoscope, the observed image can become reddish or dark. While we have not received reports of any serious incidents, some have observed steam-like vaporization and noted that the light guide at the tip is hot during use / after the endoscope is removed from the patient, which may pose a risk to patients.
