6. SETUP AND OPERATION
6.1. Device Setup
Place the Illuminator on a stable surface such as a cart, counter, stand, etc.
WARNING: DO NOT use the device in any environment with explosive or flammable gases.
WARNING: Avoid placing the device in an area where the illuminator may be splashed with liquids.
WARNING: DO NOT obstruct the exhaust or cooling vents of the illuminator. User must ensure that
environment air temperatures surrounding the unit are within the allowable limits.
Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position.
Connect AC power cord to the appliance inlet located on the rear panel of the light source.
WARNING: Ensure that any cables and/or instruments connected to the device are not obtrusive to the
procedure.
CAUTION: Use only power cords provided with the unit or cables approved for medical use.
WARNING: To prevent electric shock, connect power cords of peripheral equipment through medical
isolation transformers.
NOTE: When using a medical isolation transformer, ensure that the transformer has sufficient power
ratings. Ensure that the power cord is connected to mains power with a three-prong plug.
WARNING: To avoid adverse electromagnetic effects, DO NOT operate this equipment near high RF
energy equipment.
Connect a fiberoptic light guide to the topmost position of the rotating turret, ensuring that the
fiberoptic end tip type matches the accepting port.
6.2. Operation
After the power cable and light guide are properly connected, rotate the dimming knob to the
dimmest position, and turn on the illuminator by pressing the mains power switch located on the
front panel. The power indicator light within the switch should illuminate. Ensure the connected light
guide is safely positioned and adjust the brightness to the desired level by rotating the intensity
control knob.
7. CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
WARNING: Ensure that the illuminator is de-energized and disconnected from mains power before
attempting to clean and disinfect.
The illuminator can be wiped down with commercially available cleansers commonly used for
disinfection of electronic equipment in hospitals such as ethyl or isopropyl alcohols, disinfecting sprays
containing quaternary ammonium compounds, or hydrogen peroxide.
WARNING: DO NOT use strongly caustic or acidic cleansers such as "Clorox" hypochlorite bleach,
ammonia, muriatic acid, or similar products. DO NOT use acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, or halogenated
/ chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents or cleansers containing any of these restricted compounds.
Apply cleaning agents by light spray or dampened towels. Do not pour liquids onto the device. Do not
allow liquids to enter the device seams or ventilation openings.
Follow all applicable bloodborne pathogen procedures as required by OSHA and/or your hospital
