BF/CF Class application components
No BF or CF Class application components in accordance with IEC 60601-1
may be directly connected to the support arm systems of the lighting
system.
Electric shock
The lighting system may only be connected to an
appropriately earthed power supply with protective
conductors in order to avoid the risk of an electric shock.
Electrostatic charge balance
Complications due to electrostatic discharge
To avoid complications due to electrostatic discharge between parts of
the device and patients, the user must not touch parts of the surgical light
and the patient at the same time.
Surgical interventions in the field of vision
Damage to vision
In case of surgery in the field of vision of the patient, the high
light intensity by the light heads may cause eye fatigue or
damage to vision:
• The eyes of the patients must be closed, covered or protected, e.g.
with protective goggles.
• Do not look directly into the light-emitting surface area of the light.
Overlapping fields of illumination from several light heads
Damage to patient's tissue
Overlapping fields of illumination from several light heads with high
intensity illumination may cause damage to tissue. In the event of
incipient tissue dehydration:
• Separate the fields of illumination from several light heads.
• Reduce the light intensity of the light heads.
