Quest Spectrum® Laparoscopes

CAUTION:
To maintain the optical quality, make sure that the laparoscopes
are not exposed to gamma rays.
Note:
Check image quality (clear and free of distortion) and light
transmission through the glass fibers.
Hold the light guide connector against non-glare light. Should
the glass fibers appear as black spots on the distal end (broken
glass fibers), it is possible that the light output is insufficient.
