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 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.
