WARNING!
Injury and damage from thermal
exposure. Light sources emit large
amounts of energy. As a result:
- The light-guide connector and the
telescope's distal end become
extremely hot.
- The light energy is concentrated in a
relatively small area.
Risks:
- Thermal injury to the patient's tissue
(e.g. from prolonged exposure to the
intense illumination in cavities with
small lumens, or if the telescope's
distal end is placed into close prox-
imity with the tissue).
- Burns to the patient's or user's skin.
- Burns or thermal damage to surgical
eqipment (e.g. surgical drapes, plastic
materials, etc.).
Countermeasures:
- Avoid prolonged exposure to intense
illumination.
- Use the minimum level of illumination
necessary to satisfactorily illuminate
the target area.
- Do not place the telescope's distal
end or the light-guide connector on
the patient's skin, on flammable
materials, or on heat-sensitive
materials.
- Do not touch the telescope's distal
end or the light-guide connector.
- Turn the light source off when detach-
ing the telescope from the light-guide
cable.
- Allow the telescope and the light-
guide cable to cool down after use.

After Use

CAUTION!
Risk of damaging the instrument.
Make sure that the light-guide cable
has completely cooled down before
reprocessing.
