around the device. Do not cover the device and make sure the feet of the device are present.
• Do not use corrosive or abrasive products to clean the device, but only use the disinfectant liquids
recommended in section 8.
• Before using the device, make sure it does not have any rough surface, sharp edges or protuberances
that might cause safety problems.
• The surface temperature can reach 41°C (after a few minutes’ use). Therefore avoid keeping this area
in contact with the patient.
• To avoid any risk of electric shock, this device should only be connected to an earthed power supply.
• This device must not be modified without the manufacturer’s authorisation. If the medical device is
modified, an inspection and test must be performed to ensure the medical device complies with the
safety instructions.
• Before use, check with the manufacturer that your endoscope is compatible with this device.
• This device must be used on individuals (patients) capable of undergoing an endoscopic procedure.
• Never look directly at the light aperture or the end of the light cable.
• Do not insert anything other than a light cable into the housing [C1] as this may damage the optical
system.
• The use of cables or accessories other than those specified may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity of the device.
• After use of the source, when the fibre is being withdrawn from its light guide, the temperature on the
metal coupling of the fibre is very high and can cause burns.
• The light power at the fibre outlet can cause eye damage. Take care when handling the fibre while the
device is in use.
• Do not place the distal end of the light cable or the endoscope directly on the patient or any other
inflammable material (surgical drapes, gauze, etc.) because it may be very hot and may cause burns.
It is advisable to have a second light source available in the operating theatre, which can be used
as a replacement if performance is seen to be reduced or absent.
