•
Make sure that the instrument has been switched off before you
change the xenon lamp module. When switched on, the ignition sys-
tem generates high voltage.
•
The xenon illumination system is a high-intensity light source which -
if used improperly - can cause thermal injury to skin or tissue. Keep
the exposed tissue moist and provide sufficient irrigation. Carefully
monitor the effects of the illumination on the tissue, in particular in the
following cases:
– during prolonged procedures on skin and tissue using objective
lenses with a short focal length (short working distance),
– during procedures on tissue with a low blood supply,
– with high brightness settings of the xenon lamp.
•
Since the xenon lamp provides high light intensity and generates light
with a spectrum similar to daylight, it must not be used for ophthalmic
applications.
•
Any kind of radiation has a detrimental effect on biological tissue.This
also applies to the light illuminating the surgical field. Please therefore
reduce the brightness and duration of illumination on the surgical field
to the absolute minimum required.
