MAINTENANCE

.
Storing the headlamp system in a safe place will prolong the life of the unit.
Fiberoptic cables are an optical instrument. The following guidelines will help in
sustaining the headlamp systems useful life.
• Forming the cable in sharp angles and kinks should be avoided
whenever possible. The internal fibers are made of glass which will
break under these conditions.
• Keep the optical faces of the cable from touching hard surfaces
which may cause scratches on the surface. Scratches on the surface
will diminish the light output.
• When cuts or punctures are visible in the silicone tubing, the cable is
no longer safe to use; it should be taken out of service immediately.

6. CLEANING

The headlamp module can be wiped with alcohol. The lens should be cleaned
only with lens tissue, available in any camera store; follow the directions on the
package. Follow all applicable bloodborne pathogen procedures as required
by OSHA and/or your hospital, when cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing.
The joystick is removable and can be removed for autoclaving.
The sweatband may be cleaned using a standard wash cycle in warm water
and detergent.
The headband can be cleaned with an alcohol wipe down or washed with a
lukewarm solution of water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
The joystick is prepackaged, sterile, and disposable. It can be sterile soaked
but DO NOT steam autoclave.
WARNING: Do not autoclave the headband, lensed cables or sweatband.
