Introduction
The Welch Allyn ProXenon 350 Surgical Illuminator is designed for use with the Welch
Allyn ProXenon Headlight and Fiber system. The ProXenon 350 Surgical Illuminator uses a
Welch Allyn high-intensity, narrow-beam, rugged xenon, short arc lamp with a fixed
internal reflector to produce a uniform profile beam.
Safety features include an interlock sensor that blocks light output unless a fiberoptic
cable is inserted in the working port; an overheating shut-off; and a safety interlock door
switch to prevent accidental electrical shock while changing the lamp.
The Four Port Turret accepts Wolf, Storz, Olympus, and ACMI fiberoptic cables. Each port
is readily identified on the turret perimeter.
Intended Use
The Surgical Illuminator is designed for use with fiberoptic headlight systems. It will
accept fiberoptic light guides for Wolf, Storz, Olympus, and ACMI instrumentation.
The Accessory Headlight is a passive luminaire that is illuminated by fiberoptic light and
utilized to provide supplemental light for surgical and medical procedures.
Contraindication
This product is contraindicated for use in neonate transillumination, with
rhinolaryngoscopes, ophthalmic procedures, photosensitive people, or people receiving
photosensitizing agents (hematoporphyrin derivatives) within 3 months.
User Profile
Only qualified personnel should use the ProXenon 350 Surgical Illuminator.
Theory of Operation
Light Source
The ProXenon 350 Xenon light source is powered by filtered AC line power. The filtered
power feeds the power supply board, which contains two major components, the 12VDC
auxiliary supply, and the high voltage igniter board. The igniter board provides power for
the 300W Xenon lamp and the auxiliary power provides for the balance of the light source
components.
