Preparing the system for sterile use
Attach asepsis caps and drapes
Attaching asepsis caps
For sterile use, the system can be equipped with resterilizable products. The
asepsis sets available from ZEISS contain caps and handgrips which can be
sterilized in autoclaves. For detailed information on sterilization, please refer
to the enclosed instructions "Preparation of resterilizable products" for the re-
spective asepsis sets.
Attaching the drapes
To ensure sterile covering of the system, it is also possible to use the single-
use drapes.
When attaching the sterile drapes, make sure there is enough slack in the
drapes to allow for movement of the microscope carrier and surgical mi-
croscope. It is especially important that the drapes are completely loose
around the handgrips. The surgeon must be able to reliably operate the
controls through the drape.
CAUTION Risk of infection caused by contamination!
• Only use the system with suitable, sterile accessories.
CAUTION Risk of infection caused by contaminated asepsis accessories!
• Only use sterile asepsis accessories suitable for the device!
• Clean, disinfect and sterilize asepsis accessories before each use. This also
applies to the first use after delivery.
• Make sure that the operating staff is briefed about the sterile operation
of the device.
• Before each use of the surgical microscope, check whether the asepsis
caps are firmly attached to the surgical microscope.
NOTE Overheating as a result of covering ventilation openings!
• Never cover any ventilation openings, e.g. with drapes! This may cause
the light source to overheat and lead to lamp failure.
