• Use of this device adjacent to or stacked with other equipment
should be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If
such use is necessary, this device and the other equipment should
be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
• Grounding reliability can only be achieved when unit is connected to
a hospital grade receptacle. (Not valid for EU countries).
• The device should be set up in such a way that the plug is always
easily accessible and the device can easily be disconnected from
the mains.
1.5 Operation, environment
DANGER!
Never use the device in potentially explosive environments where
volatile solvents (alcohol, petrol, etc.) and flammable anaesthetics are in
use.
WARNING!
• The device must be switched off after every use. Otherwise there is
a risk of overheating when a protective dust cover is used.
• This device must not be operated near of high frequency surgical
equipment and the radio frequency shielded room of a medical
electrical system for magnetic resonance imaging, where the
intensity of electromagnetic disturbances is high.
• Portable radio frequency communications equipment (including
peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should
be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the device,
including cables specified by Haag-Streit. Otherwise, degradation of
the performance of this device could result.
NOTE!
• This device must only be operated by qualified personnel. The
owner is responsible for their training.
• This device may only be used in accordance with the instructions in
the 'Intended purpose / intended use' chapter.
• If unexpected disturbances are observed which manifest themselves
as communication problems between the imaging module and the
EyeSuite software, the cause could be a cell phone or a radio
frequency telephone in the immediate vicinity to the slit lamp or
power supply. Increase the distance to the unit until the interference
disappears.
• The communication between imaging module and PC may also be
disturbed or interrupted, if the device is exposed to a mains power
supply delivering excessively transient disturbances or short voltage
interruptions. If this happens, the USB connector needs to be
disconnected for a short time or the PC needs to be restarted.
1.6 Light toxicity
WARNING!
• The light from this device may be dangerous. The risk of eye
damage increases with the exposure time. An exposure time with
this device at maximum intensity of longer than 131 seconds
exceeds the guideline value for a risk.
• As extended, intensive illumination can damage the retina, the use
of the device in the examination of the eye should not be prolonged
unnecessarily. The illumination of this slit lamp emits a radiation in
the range between 400 and 750 nm. Detailed information on the
radiation can be provided on request.
• The retinal dose for a photochemical risk is composed of the product
of the radiance and the exposure time. If the radiance is halved, the
time until the exposure time limit value is reached will double
accordingly. To date, no acute, optical radiation hazard has been
detected in slit lamps. Nevertheless, we recommend keeping the
intensity of the light reaching the patient's retina to the minimum
possible for the respective diagnosis. Children, people with aphakia
and people suffering from eye conditions are most at risk. An
increased risk may also occur if the retina is exposed to the same or
