Important - DermLite DL4W Manual Del Usuario

Instructions
CAUTION: Prior to using the DermLite, read these instructions and
keep them in a safe place for future reference.
CAUTION: United States Federal Law restricts this device to sale
by or on the order of a physician.
CAUTION: The DermLite is designed for external examination only.
WARNING: This product contains a magnet. Do not use in proxim-
ity of pacemakers or other magnetically sensitive devices or items.
DermLite DL4 is a smartphone-compatible pocket dermatoscope
designed to view skin lesions with high magnification and clarity.
Two sets of white LEDs (light emitting diodes) can be activated
independently; one set of LEDs provides cross-polarized light (by
canceling the reflected light from the skin), whereas the other set
of LEDs provides non-polarized light for traditional immersion fluid
dermoscopy.
A high-quality 10x lens with superb color correction and reduced
image distortion produces an image rich in surface detail.
To facilitate the use of immersion fluids, and allow for smartphone
dermoscopy, the unit is equipped with a retractable faceplate
spacer.
Directions for Use
CAUTION: Do not look directly into the bright LED light. Patients
must close their eyes during facial examinations.
IMPORTANT: Before initial use, please charge the internal lithium
ion battery for a minimum of 4 hours using the supplied USB
charging cable. See "Battery & Charging" for details.
CAUTION: If your DermLite is used for immersion fluid dermos-
copy, place the fluid only on the skin and then place the extended
Faceplate (FP) on top of the fluid. Do not allow fluid to contact the
Charging Port (CP).
Hold your DermLite DL4 so that the LEDs are aimed in the direction
of the lesion to be examined. Place the device approximately 1"
(~25mm) from the skin. Push the power button (P), located at the
left side of the handle, to turn on the device or push the two mode
buttons (POL & PB), located at the head, simultaneously. To toggle
between non-polarized mode for immersion fluid dermoscopy and
cross-polarized illumination, briefly push any button - (P) or (POL)
or (PB).
Look through the lens with your eye placed about 1 to 2" (25-50
mm) above your DermLite. Move the device closer or farther away
from the skin to obtain the desired image focus. For dermoscopy
with skin contact, or for camera use, rotate the Focus Dial (FD) to
focus the image. The position "0" indicates the ideal distance for
photography. To turn off your DermLite, push the power button (P)
for about 1 sec. or push the two mode buttons (POL & PB), located
at the head, simultaneously. To save power, the unit automatically
turns off after 3 minutes.
Removing the Faceplate
The faceplate (FP) is magnetically attached to the spacer (S) and
may simply be pulled off by grabbing it at the fingernail notches.
Infection Control and Epidemiology Caps (IceCap™)
To support your infection control measures, 5 disposable IceCaps
(IC) are supplied with this device. To use, extend the spacer and
snap an IceCap over the installed faceplate (FP). To remove and
dispose, simply pull it off or retract the spacer.
Eyepiece (EP)
To reduce internal reflections, improve the contrast of the image,
and help ensure ideal eye placement, place the magnetically at-
tached eyepiece (EP) on top of your DermLite.
Camera Use
To enable you to attach your DermLite DL4 to a camera or smart-
phone, magnetic adapters (such as DermLite MagnetiConnect®)
can be attached to the extension ring (ER). Please note that many
cameras require the use of an additional adapter made by the cam-
era manufacturer or a photography supply company.
Prior to taking images, wipe the faceplate (FP) clean and extend
the spacer (S) to the "0" position. Generally, good images may be
obtained by setting your camera to automatic or "P" mode, activat-
ing the "macro" function, and deactivating the flash. Please contact
3Gen or your camera dealer for more information.
Battery & Charging
CAUTION: Your DermLite uses a special lithium battery, which can
only be purchased from 3Gen or from an authorized 3Gen dealer.
Do not under any circumstances use another battery other than
