WARNING
Electric shock due to misdirected leakage currents!
►
Before thoracic or cardiothoracic surgery, deactivate implanted
defibrillators (ICD).
►
Before any kind of defibrillation, remove the used camera head
from the patient.
WARNING
Malfunction in connection with magnetic resonance!
►
Do not use the product in a magnetic resonance environment.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to development of heat at the tip of the endoscope!
►
Make sure that the tip temperatures on the type of the endoscope
and the sterile cover prescribed by IEC/EN/DIN 60601-2-18 are
not exceeded.
►
Do not put down the endoscope on the patient during use.
►
In the patient's abdominal cavity, always leave a sufficient distance
between the optical lens and the tissue surfaces and mucous mem-
branes of the patient.
►
Use the AUTO light intensity control or set the light source so that
a bright, well-lit image is visible with the lowest possible light
intensity.
►
Switch off the light source if the illumination is no longer needed
or if the endoscope is out of the patient for a longer period of time.
►
Do not touch the light guide connector or distal end of the endo-
scope during use or immediately after use.
WARNING
Risk to patient from gas embolism!
►
Avoid overinsufflation (e.g., with air or inert gas) before high fre-
quency surgery.
Light sources, especially high-power light sources, emit large amounts of
light energy and thermal energy.
Result: The light guide connector and the distal end of the endoscope may
become extremely hot.
Risks from use of light sources:
■
Irreversible tissue damage or unwanted coagulation to the patient or
user
■
Burns or thermal damage to surgical equipment (e.g., surgical drapes,
plastic materials)
■
If the light source fails during use, this may endanger the patient.
Therefore keep an operationally ready replacement light source on
hand.
Safety precautions:
►
Do not illuminate the inside of the patient for longer than necessary
with the light source.
►
Use the AUTO light intensity control or set the light source so that a
bright, well-lit image is visible with the lowest possible light intensity.
►
Do not allow the distal end of the endoscope or the light guide connec-
tor to come into contact with patient tissue or with combustible or
heat-sensitive materials.
►
Do not touch the distal end of the endoscope.
►
Remove contamination from the distal end surface or light emission
surface.
Note
The current assignment of the camera head buttons is displayed on the
screen as Camera head information after opening the camera menu.
Note
A thorough understanding of the principles and methods used for example
in electro-surgical procedures is necessary to avoid risks of shock or burns
to patients and users as well as damage to other equipment and instru-
ments. Electrosurgical procedures may only be conducted by trained spe-
cialist staff.
Active profile after switching on
If a camera head was not yet connected when the camera control unit was
switched on, the standard profile LAP General Surgery is activated on
startup of the camera control unit.
If a camera head is connected before the unit is switched on, the last pro-
file used for the relevant camera head is activated on startup.
Active profile after changing the camera head
If the camera head is disconnected from the running camera control unit,
the set profile is activated if a camera head of the same type is connected.
If another camera head type is attached, the standard profile LAP General
Surgery is activated.
Switching On and Off
Switching on
►
Press the ON switch.
Switching off
►
Press the OFF switch.
Disconnecting the device completely from the mains power
►
Pull out the power cord on the rear of the device.
Connecting the camera head
Note
The camera cable is fragile when bent, kinked, twisted, pulled, or pressed.
These may damage the electrical components and thus lead to operating
failure.
For further details on the camera head, see the respective instructions for
use.
►
Insert the connection plug fully into the connection sockets on the
camera control unit, until it engages.
Profile Selection
►
Open menu and navigate to menu item Profile.
►
Select the required profile.
Performing white balance
Perform a white balance before each procedure and for each change of
optical fiber cable or endoscope.
Note
Note that ambient light that deviates significantly from the color temper-
ature of the light source can affect the results of the white balance.
►
Connect the camera head being used for the procedure.
►
Connecting the endoscope
►
Connect the light guide to the light source.
►
If necessary, mount the sterile cover on the camera head.
►
Switch on all system components.
►
Point the endoscope to a white object at a distance of approx. 5 cm.
►
Press the White Balance button on the front of the camera control
unit or the relevant button on the camera head.
If the white balance is successful, the message "white balance success-
ful" appears on the monitor.
If the white balance is unsuccessful, the message "white balance
unsuccessful" appears on the monitor.
