AIM-100™ Operation and Maintenance Manual – 1008189 A03 11
Maneuvering the Light Head
If a procedure is to be performed which requires a sterile field, the handle must be
sterilized or sterile disposable covers for the cover must be used. At no time during the
procedure may any other part of the fixture be touched. The AIM-100™ arm system
and light head attachment were designed so the light head could be positioned at any
location within its range of motion using only the handle.
Adjusting the Light Pattern
A slight twist of the handle will adjust the beam pattern so that the individual light
beams from the three bulbs can be merged at the work surface. To get the maximum
intensity, the light beams should be merged completely. However, in many cases it is
preferable to have the light beams slightly offset to achieve a larger spot.
Attaching / Detaching the Handle
The handle can be removed for cleaning and sterilization by pushing the plunger (1)
located between the handle flange and housing and pulling the handle down (2).
To reinsert, push the handle into the hole and make sure it ‘clicks’ into position.
