All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
To setup the HEINE mini 3000
(5) (exclusively of the mini 3000 product line). To insert fresh batteries, unscrew the end cap (7) of the handle and
insert 2 new batteries (alkaline cells, size LR6/AA) with the plus contact facing the handle head (see picture).
To switch on the light source please slide the switch (6) down into position "1" . To switch off the light source slide
the switch up to position "0" or clip it firmly over your coat pocket. The handle is then automatically switched off.
Performance Indicator: When turning on the device the brightness will increase softly to 100% and will then
adjust to the brightness corresponding to the actual charge condition of the battery.
If you realize a significant drop of brightness or a flashing of the lightning immediately after switching on the
device, please change the batteries.
Operation of the HEINE mini 3000
Moisten the affected skin with HEINE dermatoscopy oil or comparable, e.g. with a cotton wool swab. Switch on the
device and place it gently over the lesion, so that it is in the center of the contact plate (1a).
The examiner's eyes should be as close as possible to the ocular (2). With the free hand adjust the focusing ring
(3) until a clearly-focused image is obtained. Using the scale on top of the dermatoscope you can control the
adjustment of the focusing ring. In most cases it is only necessary to set up the focus once.
Removing the contact plate:
The contact plate (1a) is attached by a bayonet fitting. To remove, simply rotate the knurled ring counter-clockwise
and detach from the dermatoscope. The small contact plate (1b) can be used instead of the contact plate (1a) for
the examination of inaccessible lesions. It is a simple push-fit in the head. To remove it, simply hold the knurled
housing and pull off without twisting. When replacing, make sure that the light-port (4) faces the bulb/LED.

Cleaning and disinfection
The contact plate (1a) can be removed and sterilized or disinfected by any routine method e.g. in disinfectant
solution, by washing, boiling or autoclaving (up to 134 degree Celsius for 5min). Sterilization should be used only
after the examination of risk patients, because the durability of the contact plate will be reduced by sterilization.
The small contact plate (1b) and the dermatoscope can be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth soaked in
alkaline or pH-neutral cleaning agents.
For disinfection of the outer surface of the instrument we recommend wipe disinfection using detergents, which
are released for medical devices.
Battery handle:
The handle can be cleaned with a damp cloth (e.g. alkaline or pH- neutral detergent). For disinfection of the outer
surface we recommend wipe disinfection by using detergents, which are released for medical devices made out
of plastic.
Disinfection by spraying or immersion as well as sterilization is not allowed and will damage the instrument!
