•
Do not apply pressure on the light cable/lights

•
Exchange reusable light/cables if it collects fluid
inside, appears broken or damaged.
•
Avoid damaging the fiber surfaces at the ends of

the light cables and reusable light (300 W).

Depending on light source, temperature of the
light, cables and/or adapters may exceed 43°C.

such as textiles (curtains) or near cotton swabs or
pads that have been soaked with flammable fluids
with these parts.
•
The reusable light/disposable light should only be
used with the associated light cables.
•
Never leave the light system unattended when light
is being transmitted from a light source.

should not be ultrasonically cleaned.
