NOTE!
This equipment 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 "Purpose of use".
1.6 Light toxicity
WARNING!
As extended, intensive illumination can damage the retina, the use of the de-
vice 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
750nm. 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 increas-
ed risk may also occur if the retina is exposed to the same or a similar device
with a visible light source within 24 hours. This applies, in particular, if the
retina has been photographed with a flashbulb in advance. The light from this
instrument may be dangerous. The risk of eye damage increases with the
exposure time. An exposure time with this instrument at maximum intensity of
longer than 143 seconds exceeds the guideline value for a risk.
1.7 Disinfection

The device does not need to be disinfected. For more information on
cleaning, please refer to the 'Maintenance' section.

2. Introduction
The slit lamp comprises an illumination and a binocular microscope. The entire de-
vice can be moved in front of the eyes using the instrument base. The illumination
offers a range of setting possibilities for making the practically invisible areas of the
eye visible. There is also a range of accessories available for the slit lamp to allow
special diagnosis possibilities in addition to the general examinations.
