Operation
The operator of this instrument must be a physician or medical personnel under the supervision of a
physician and must have received sufficient training in microsurgery using surgical microscopes. This
manual, therefore, does not explain or discuss the detailed microsurgical operation procedures. This
chapter pertains to the basic operating procedures, warnings and cautions to be used in the operation
of the surgical microscope.
WARNING
• Always wear appropriate protection gear. Otherwise, contact with hazardous
substances such as chemicals and infective matters such as blood and mucus of
the patient may cause health damage to the operator and/or assistant.
• If any irregularity is suspected during use, immediately stop using the equipment
and take proper measures by referring to Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting” as well as
the instruction manuals for the ancillary equipment used in combination with this
instrument. If this instrument continues to be used while an irregularity is
suspected, damage to the patient’s health may result.
CAUTION
• Combined use with other equipment.
Do not install this instrument in the proximity of a source of strong
electromagnetic waves (microwave therapy equipment, shortwave therapy
equipment, MRI, radio, cellphone, etc.). Otherwise, this instrument may
malfunction.
When using an electrosurgical unit in combination with this instrument, confirm
that the high-frequency noise is at a level that does not affect the operation of
this instrument in advance. Otherwise, malfunction may result.
• Do not approach a cord connected to the electrosurgical unit to this instrument and
the ancillary equipment combined with it. Otherwise, malfunction may be caused
during the high-frequency output.
• Do not press any of the switches on the foot switch with a sharp object. Otherwise,
the switch may be damaged or the coating may be broken, making it impossible to
maintain the waterproofing.
