3. Cautions and Warnings
Warning
The SIAscope V is for EXTERNAL USE ONLY and should not be used on open wounds or
sores.
Warning
The SIAscope V emits light of wavelength 440-960nm. Check with a patient’s existing treat-
ments to ensure compatibility.
Warning
The MoleMate hardware does not generate a significant source of electro-magnetic interfer-
ence. However, the system is not intended for use in areas of high electro-magnetic radiation
(e.g. MRI).
Important
Untrained or unqualified personnel must not use the system. All users must read and under-
stand these instructions fully before using the machine.
Important
Print outs of SIAscans are intended for reference only as they are of reduced resolution and
colours may not be reproduced accurately. Refer to SIAscans displayed in the MoleMate soft-
ware to view fully detailed SIAscans.
Important
Do not disconnect the SIAscope V from the PC when it is scanning.
Important
The SIAscope V contains no user serviceable parts. Please contact Astron Clinica or your loc-
al distributor if your system requires maintenance.
Important
SIAscopy (Contact or Non-Contact) does not function correctly on skin or lesions containing
light absorbing pigments including haemasiderin, escar, scales, jaundice, tattoos, inks, cos-
metics, and other conditions that give rise to the presence of unusual chemicals in the skin. In
very dark lesions such as some Seborrhoric Keratoses, Contact SIAscans may also give incor-
rect information. In these special cases refer to Astron Clinica Limited for advice.
Important
Do not look directly into the light from the SIAscope V. When scanning skin on a patient’s face,
ensure that their eyes are closed.
Important
Take care in handling the SIAscope V. These pieces of equipment are liable to be damaged if
dropped.
