Operating the Camera with a Light Source

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: Before operating this device,
please read this operating manual thoroughly and carefully.
When using this device with a light source, fire and/or severe
injury may result to the patient, user or inanimate objects if the
instructions in this manual are not followed.
All light sources can generate significant amounts of heat
(exceeding 41 °C/106 °F) at the scope tip, the scope light post,
the light cable tip, and/or near the light cable adapter. Higher
levels of brightness from the light source result in higher levels
of heat. Always adjust the brightness level of the camera and the
monitor before adjusting the brightness level of the light source.
Adjust the brightness level of the light source to the minimum
brightness necessary to adequately illuminate the surgical site.
In addition, adjust the internal shutter of the camera higher in
order to run the light source at a lower intensity. Avoid touching
the scope tip or the light cable tip to the patient, and never
place them on top of the patient, as doing so may result in burns
to the patient or user. In addition, never place the scope tip, the
scope light post, the light cable adapter, or the light cable tip
on the surgical drapes or other flammable material, as doing so
may result in fire.
Always place the light source in standby mode whenever
the scope is removed from the light cable or the device is
unattended. The scope tip, scope light post, light cable adapter,
and light cable tip will take several minutes to cool off after
being placed in standby mode, and therefore may still result in
fire or burns to the patient, user, or inanimate objects.
