Operation
6.1
First-time operation
Please remove the BIOM 4 and its accessories from the packaging and dispose of the lat-
ter in the proper manner.
The BIOM and all sterilizable accessories must be cleaned, disinfected and sterilized prior
to initial use and before each subsequent use.
As part of an optical system, the BIOM 4, and the operating microscope too, must be han-
dled with care and must not be subjected to vibrations, blows or be allowed to get dirty.
6.2
Daily operation
To mount the BIOM 4, an adapter is needed, which is customized to the type of op-
erating microscope that is being used.
If necessary, the adapter must be supplemented with an intermediate piece or a
mounting fixture.
Installation and instruction in the use of the BIOM 4 and its accessories will be done
by an Oculus employee or by a duly authorized Oculus representative.
A part of the mounting fixture generally remains installed at the microscope. Just
like the BIOM 4 and its components, the detachable adapter plate must be cleaned,
disinfected and sterlized prior to use. If, however, you do have to remove the mount-
ing fixture for any reason, please proceed as shown on the assembly diagram pro-
vided with the adapter.
When assembling dovetail connections, first visually check that the connection sits
properly. Then tighten the knurled screw hand-tight. If the connection is correct, the
dovetail connection will have no play. Check this by gently rocking the connection
before you begin mounting any of the other attachments.
Attention
Detachable connections can be a source of danger if used incorrectly.
Therefore, after each conversion, check that all retaining elements (e.g. locking
screws) are present and are tight.
