During use
•
Only use the system after it has been properly balanced.
•
Constantly monitor the system during use.
•
Excessive radiation exposure times may lead to retinal damage in the
patient’s eye. Never leave a device unattended when its light source is
switched on.
•
Avoid looking directly into the light source, e.g. into the microscope objec-
tive lens or light guide.
•
When the illumination is switched on, there is a risk of fire, or you may
burn yourself if the light guide is not connected at both ends.
•
Any type of radiation has a damaging effect on biological tissue. This is
also true for the light that illuminates the surgical field. You should there-
fore reduce the brightness and the light exposure time of the surgical field
to the absolute minimum required.
•
Phototoxic effect of light beams. When operating on the eye, always use
the retina protection filter (blue barrier filter) installed in the light source
and/or the retina protection cover to ensure that the patient’s eye is not
exposed to unnecessary (blue) radiation.
•
Adjust the illumination intensity and the resulting radiation exposure time
by selecting the appropriate illumination setting. You will find the values
recommended by ZEISS in the “Maximum radiation exposure times” table
on page 26. Deviations from these values must be medically justified and
are the sole responsibility of the surgeon.
•
Cables which are not appropriately routed may lead to an increased risk
of tripping during operation of the system. Always route cables so that
they do not hinder the user.
After every use
•
Use the main power switch to switch off the system.
•
The main power switch must always be off when the system is not in use.
