Possible burn injuries due to a high illumination intensity
General
This device is optionally equipped with a powerful xenon light source.
Various factors contribute to the risk of burn injuries:
Device-related factors:
– With increasing service life of the lamp, the actual light intensity delivered
at the respective setting decreases. In case of a bulb exchange, illumina-
tion increases to the originally high value.
Surgery-related factors:
– The selected intensity of the light source is a major factor for the risk of
injury. It should always be set to the minimum required for the surgical
procedure to be performed.
– A long surgical procedure increases the risk of injury, in particular if a
standard procedure takes considerably longer than usual.
– Injuries in the peripheral area may be avoided by covering the respective
parts with wet, sterile gauze.
The gauze must be moistened at regular intervals to avoid that the area
dries out or heats up.
– Certain preparations of the surgical field, local vasoconstrictive medica-
tions and incision drapes may also result in a higher risk of injury (drapes
may heat up to varying degrees depending on their color and moisture
content).
– You should also take into account that some areas of the body may be
more sensitive than others.
Patient-related factors:
– The general condition of a patient's health may contribute to the risk of
injury.
– The skin type may also play a major role for the risk of injury.
CAUTION Danger of burnings caused by high light intensity!
In case of a misuse of the light source, a too high illumination intensity may
cause tertiary burns.
