OPMI® VISU 200 BrightFlex™ Surgical Microscope
Issue 3.0
Printed on 21. 11. 2002
To protect the patient's eye against photo-retinitis, a retinal protection de-
vice is provided. This device can be swung into the illumination beam
path, if no red reflex is required.
At the light source integrated in the stand, a GG 475 eye protection filter
can be swung into the illumination beam path. This filter markedly reduces
the exposure of the patient's and surgeon's eyes to radiation.
A video camera from our MediLive video camera line can be optionally
connected to the VISU 200 surgical microscope. The light loss for the sur-
geon is only 20% and cannot be perceived subjectively.
Caution!
–
Avoid looking directly into the light source, e.g. into the microscope ob-
jective lens or into the light guide!
–
When selecting the brightness level for the patient's eye, always take
care to keep the strain on the patient's eye to a minimum.
–
If the red reflex is not necessary, move the retinal protection device
into the beam path. Only use the retro-illumination contrast stop, if the
surgical procedure requires a red reflex.
–
When operating on the eye, always use a GG 475 eye protection filter
to ensure that the patient's retina is not exposed to unnecessary (blue)
radiation (retinal injury)!
