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 exceeding 41°C (106°F) 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.
