2. WARNINGS/ CAUTION
WARNING The illuminator uses a highly concentrated light source (luminous power per
area) and this high energy density is retained through connected light guides and instruments.
The output of a connected instrument left in close proximity or contact with tissue or flammable
materials presents a risk of injury or fire. Qualified personnel must determine a safe working
distance and intensity setting for each application. The output should never be left on
unattended.

cable into the unit before turning on the power. When light is not required at the surgical site,
the intensity control should be should be set to the fully dimmed position.
necessary to remove the fiberoptic cable without turning the unit off, turn the intensity control to
the fully dimmed position.
Caution The fiberoptic cable must be electrically NON-CONDUCTIVE. It should not
have conductive shielding or any other conductive connection between the patient and
