CLV-190 INSTRUCTION MANUAL
WARNING
• Do not connect any object other than the light guide and an endoscope to the
output connector. Otherwise, malfunction may result.
• Do not rely on the optical-digital observation mode alone for primary detection of
lesions or for a decision regarding any potential diagnostic or therapeutic
intervention.
• Be sure that the light source is not used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment (other than the components of the light source or system) to avoid
electromagnetic interference.
• Electromagnetic interference may occur on the light source near equipment
marked with the following symbol or other portable and mobile RF (Radio
Frequency) communications equipment, such as cellular phones. If
electromagnetic interference occurs, mitigation measures may be necessary, such
as reorienting or relocating the light source, or shielding the location.
CAUTION
• Do not use a pointed or hard object to press the buttons on the front panel. This
may damage the buttons.
• Do not touch the electrical contacts inside the light source’s connectors.
• Do not simultaneously touch any of the exposed electrical contact pins and the
patient. It may pose a risk of electric shock to the patient and/or user.
• Do not apply excessive force to the light source and/or other instruments
connected. Otherwise, damage and/or malfunction can occur.
• Do not leave the examination lamp ON when an endoscope is connected to the
light source. The examination light reaches the maximum intensity and the
endoscope’s distal end becomes hot. In addition, smoke may also be produced if
the debris attached to the distal end is heated.
• If the emergency lamp, instead of the examination lamp, lights up frequently when
pressing the lamp button to light the examination lamp, the light source may have
already malfunctioned. Return the light source for repair, following Section 8.3,
“Returning the light source for repair”.
• Avoid using the light source in a dusty environment. This may damage the light
source.
• Do not position the medical device so that it is difficult to disconnect it from the wall
mains outlet.
