Warnings and Cautions
Please read this manual and follow its instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: Before operating this device, please read
this operating manual thoroughly and carefully. When using this device
with a light source, fire and/or severe injury may result to the patient, user,
or inanimate objects if the instructions in this manual are not followed.
All light sources can generate significant amounts of heat at the scope
tip, the scope light post, the light cable tip, and/ or near the light cable
adapter. Higher levels of brightness from the light source result in higher
levels of heat. Always adjust the brightness level of the camera and the
monitor before adjusting the brightness level of the light source. Adjust the
brightness level of the light source to the minimum brightness necessary
to adequately illuminate the surgical site. In addition, adjust the internal
shutter of the camera higher in order to run the light source at a lower
intensity. Avoid touching the scope tip or the light cable tip to the patient,
and never place them on top of the patient, as doing so may result in burns
to the patient or user. In addition, never place the scope tip, the scope light
post, the light cable adapter, or the light cable tip on the surgical drapes or
other flammable material, as doing so may result in fire. Always place the
light source in standby mode whenever the scope is removed from the light
cable or the device is unattended. The scope tip, scope light post, light cable
adapter, and light cable tip will take several minutes to cool off after being
placed in standby mode, and therefore may still result in fire or burns to the
patient, user, or inanimate objects.
