Positioning
To avoid contamination, position the examination light prior to the
examination or by an assistant during the examination.
The swivel arm of the EL3 LED examination light has two flexible (1, 3) and
one rigid section (2).
To position the light precisely, hold the light head by the hand grip (4) and
the gooseneck by the flexible part (1) and bend the gooseneck into the
desired position. Fine adjustments can be made via the hand grip (4).
Do not bend the gooseneck into a <90 degree angle.
The picture shows the positioning of the lamp during transport on a stand.
Operation
Keep a minimum distance of 20 cm between the examination light and
the examined object (patient). The optimal working distance is 30cm.
