Fogging of optical surfaces
To protect the eyepiece optics from fogging, we recommend using an
anti-fogging agent.
Note:
Anti-fogging agents provided by eyecare professionals for use with eye-
glass lenses are also suitable for Zeiss eyepieces.
•
Please observe the instructions for use supplied with each anti-fog-
ging agent.
Anti-fogging agents do not only ensure fog-free optics. They also clean
the eyepiece optics and protect them against dirt, grease, dust, fluff and
fingerprints.
Cleaning mechanical surfaces
All mechanical surfaces of the equipment can be cleaned by wiping with
a moist cloth. Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
Wipe off any residue with a mixture of 50% ethyl alcohol and 50% distilled
water plus a dash of household dish-washing liquid.
Sterilization
The asepsis sets available from Carl Zeiss contain rubber caps, sleeves
and handgrips which can be sterilized in autoclaves. We recommend the
following program for sterilization:
Sterile single-use drapes are available to cover the system.
Note:
When draping the system, make sure there is enough slack in the drapes
to allow for movement of the microscope carrier and surgical microscope.
It is especially important that the drapes are completely loose around the
handgrips. The surgeon must be able to operate the controls through the
drape.
Sterilization temperature: 134° C
Sterilization time:
10 minutes
