TO DON A SURGICAL HELMET
WARNINGS:
• DO NOT connect the power cable plug to the battery pack before donning
the helmet.
NOTE:
• ALWAYS perform the following steps in sequence.
1. Apply the comfort- or soft pads inside the helmet as required (
fi
g. 1).
NOTE:
• Comfort- or soft pads pads are designed with recessions along the skin-con-
tacting areas to promote cooling and moisture transfer. Apply the comfort- or
soft pads pads with recessions facing towards your skin.
2. Loosen the headband with the headband adjustment knob as required by
turning the knob counter clockwise (
fi
g. 2).
3. Adjust the helmet height using the height adjustment strap. Push the re-
lease button and pull/push the strap to extend/retract the length of the
strap for
fi
t and comfort (
fi
g. 3).
CAUTION:
• DO NOT pull to extend or push to retract the height adjustment strap without

4. Place the helmet on your head and adjust the headband and height strap
for comfort (
fi
g. 4).
NOTES:
• Make sure the helmet
fi
ts securely on top of your head.
• Make sure the face mask ties are accessible to allow easy removal of the
face mask when donning the hood or toga.
5. Plug the power cord into the battery pack or the battery holster, once con-
nected the fans will automatically turn on (
fi
g. 5).
WARNINGS:
• Keep your
fi
ngers away from the fans during operation.
6. Secure the power cord into the battery pack/battery holster by tightening
the connection at the base of the power cord (
fi
g. 6).
7. Connect the battery pack or battery holster to your waistband or put the
battery into your pocket (
fi
g. 7).
8. Adjust the fan speed for optimal air
fl
ow by tilting your head straight back
then back to your starting position. When done correctly, the helmet will
emit a sound signal and the fan speed will change (
fi
g. 8).
NOTES:
• Familiarize yourself with the gesture controlled fan speed adjustment
before
fi
rst time use in the OR.
• You are now ready to scrub for surgery and don a hood or toga. See the

• Keep your
fi
ngers away from the headlight body during operation.

(
fi
g. 10).
TO CONTROL FAN SPEED
All
ViVi
®
helmets provide the user with two options to control the fan speed,
manual and automatic. To manually change the fan speed the user will pre-
form the following:
1. From a natural starting position the user should tilt there head straight back.
2. Once a “beep” sound is heard, the fan speed has changed.
3. The user returns there head to the starting position.
The “beep” sound will correspond with the speed of the fan. A low pitch sound will
be heard for the low speed, two “beeps” will be heard for the middle speed and a
higher pitch sound will be heard for the fastest fan speed.
The second option for the fan speed control is an automatic system built into
all
ViVi
®
helmets. When the helmet is powered on it starts in automatic mode;
it can also be placed in automatic mode using the head gestures to reach the
middle speed (two “beeps”). The automatic mode of the helmet will adjust the
speed of the fan based on the activity of the user. As the user becomes more
physically active, the fan will automatically begin to speed up; as activity levels
begin to lower the fan speed will also lower.
NOTES:
• The user can manually switch out of automatic mode at any time using the
previously described head motion.
• Familiarization with the fan speed control system is recommended to
ensure user comfort during operation.
TO DOFF A SURGICAL HELMET
CAUTION:
• DO NOT do
ff
the helmet together with the hood/toga and pull on the hood
to remove it from the helmet. This might damage the helmet.
1. Loosen the power cord from the battery by turning the base of the power
cord in a counter clockwise direction.
2. Unplug the power cord from the battery, the fans will automatically turn o
ff
.
3. Loosen the headband adjustment knob and remove the helmet from your
head.
4. Remove and discard the comfort/soft pads from the helmet. Clean the
helmet and cord. See the Cleaning section. To clean the battery pack, see
the instructions for use supplied with the THI battery charger.
