Operation
Positioning a light system
It is recommended that the lights are positioned so
that the surgeon and the sterile OR personnel can
easily reach the sterile handle.
When the lights are positioned in this way, the non-
sterile OR personnel can reach the integrated
handle in order to make further adjustments if
required.
With central axes with more than one swivel arm,
make sure that the different swivel arms and their
devices are not all positioned on one side.
Positioning several swivel arms on one side can
cause tilting or unintended drifting of the swivel
arms.
The figure shows an example of how a
combination of 2 lights can be positioned to
achieve suitable illumination of the operating field.
– The main surgical light (A) is positioned
laterally above the surgeon's shoulder to
ensure that the operating field (B) is fully
illuminated.
– The second light (C) is positioned at the foot of
the operating table.
The figure shows an example of how a
combination of 3 lights and a display can be
positioned to achieve suitable illumination of the
operating field.
– The main surgical light (D) is positioned
laterally above the surgeon's shoulder to
ensure that the operating field (E) is fully
illuminated.
– The second light (F) is positioned at the foot of
the operating table.
– The third light (G) is positioned at the side of
the operating table.
– The display (H) is positioned at the head of the

NOTE
Positioning several swivel arms on one side can
cause tilting or unintended drifting of individual
swivel arms. Take care that the different swivel
arms and their devices are not all positioned on
one side.
