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.
