1.
Clean the external surfaces of the X8000 using a cloth or sponge
dampened with a mild detergent or disinfectant.

instructions.

Do not use any abrasive cleaners. Do not allow any liquid to
drip into the unit.
Caution
Do not sterilize or immerse the X8000.
Caring for the Bulb Module
The X8000 uses a Xenon bulb, which has a guaranteed life of 500 hours when
used properly. Always follow these guidelines to ensure maximum bulb life:
1.
Clean the bulb face with alcohol and a cotton swab if it is touched. Dirt
or oil on the bulb face will cause the bulb to heat unevenly and fail.
2.
Do not power on and off the bulb in rapid succession. Allow the bulb to
run for at least five minutes once it has been powered on. Failure to do so
can cause the bulb to rapidly darken and fail.
3.
The X8000 has been designed to start the bulb under most conditions,
even when it is hot. However, if the bulb does not start within 10 seconds
after the X8000 has powered on, turn the unit off and wait at least five
minutes for the bulb to cool before restarting. Further attempts to start
the bulb can damage the bulb and possibly the internal circuitry.
Replacing the Bulb Module
Replace the bulb module when the LCD indicates 500 hours or when the bulb no
longer sufficiently illuminates the surgical site. If possible, replace the bulb
module between surgical procedures.
