Thermal radiation from the lights

Risk of electric shock
WARNING
Risk of infection
Personnel and patient may become infected
by a non-sterile handle.
Use only sterile handles.
WARNING
Risk of infection
Disposable sleeves can fall down into the
operating field.
Dräger recommends using disposable
sleeves from another manufacturer (e.g.,
Covidien) only with the corresponding handle
adapter for disposable sleeves from the same
manufacturer, see list of accessories.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
If the light fields from several lights overlap,
the heat input to the wound site may be
unacceptably high. This can lead to drying
out of the wound site.
If necessary, the total irradiance must be
adjusted by reducing the illuminance of
individual lights, see "Setting the
illuminance" on page 42.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury and property damage
Objects can fall down into the operating field.
Avoid collisions of the light heads or of parts
of the arm system with other objects.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury and property damage
Do not place objects on the light heads or
hang them on the arm system. These objects
can fall down into the operating field.
Do not hang heavy loads on the arm system
(e.g., leaning body weight). The mechanism
of the arm system may be damaged, which
may compromise the correct positioning of
the arm system.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock
Persons may receive an electric shock if all
poles are not disconnected during
maintenance work.
Make sure that a switching element to
disconnect all poles of the supply is fitted
before installing the light. The required
switching element is part of the Dräger mains
connection component.
