Adjusting the light intensity with Adaptive Light Control plus
(ALC plus)
Adaptive Light Control plus (ALC plus) has the same functionality as Adaptive Light
Control (ALC), but also enables the targeted electronic control of various LEDs in
order to achieve optimum illumination of the wound area.
Damage to vision
Direct contact with the laser beam may cause damage to
vision:
• Do not look directly into the laser beam
• Protect the patient's eyes:
Close the patient's eyes or protect them as necessary (e.g. with
safety goggles with an optical density of at least 2 or designed
according to protection level 6 EN169).
• Use of operating methods or procedures other than those stated in
these instructions for use may result in dangerous radiation effects
due to the laser.
ALC plus function
The Adaptive Light Control plus (ALC plus) function is only available for
light models TruLight 5x10 and TruLight 5x20.
Camera system
Adjusting the light intensity for camera system with Adaptive Light Control
plus (ALC plus)
The functionality of Adaptive Light Control plus (ALC plus) in the camera is based on
evaluating image signals.
• If the light head is repositioned during surgery, the measuring mode of the
camera is activated and automatically remeasures the distances between the
light head and the wound area.
• The light intensity is automatically adapted to the working distance on the basis
of the established measurement data (see also instruction manual: TruVidia SD
or TruVidia HD).
