2.2 WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
Please note that the proper and safe functioning of our instruments is only guaranteed if
both the instruments and their accessories are exclusively from Rodenstock Instruments.
The use of other accessories may result in increased electromagnetic emissions or reduced
electromagnetic immunity of the device and may lead to incorrect operation.
Observe the following prescriptions in order to ensure safe operation of the instrument.
WARNINGS
• Never use the instrument if visibly damaged and periodically inspect it for signs of damage
or misuse.
• Check your Rodenstock product for signs of transport / storage damage prior to use.
• Do not use in the presence of fl ammable gases / liquids, or in an oxygen rich environment.
• US Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician or practitioner.
• This device is intended to be used only by suitably trained and authorised healthcare
professionals.
• This product should not be immersed in fl uid.
• Repairs and modifi cations to the instrument must be made only by the specialized
technicians of the manufacturer’s Technical Service Centre or by personnel trained and
authorised by the manufacturer. The manufacturer declines any and all responsibility for
loss and/or damages resulting from unauthorised repairs; furthermore, any such actions
will invalidate the warranty.
• The power switch and mains plug are the means of isolating the device from the mains
supply – ensure both the power switch and mains plug are accessible at all times.
• Do not position the equipment so that is diffi cult to press the power switch or remove the
mains plug from the wall socket.
• Refraction stand variants or adaptors should only be used in combination with EN/IEC
60601-1 and EN/IEC 60601-1-2 compliant power supplies and devices.
• Route power cords safely to eliminate risk of tripping or damage to user.
• Before any cleaning of the instrument or the base unit ensure the power lead is
disconnected.
• LEDs can reach high temperatures in use – allow to cool before handling.
• Do not exceed maximum recommended exposure time.
• Should the instrument suffer shocks (for example, should it accidentally fall), and the
optical system or the illumination system are damaged it may be necessary to return the
instrument to the manufacturer for repair.
• After removal of the LED, do not touch the Slit Lamp LED electrical contacts and patient
simultaneously.
• The owner of the instrument is responsible for training personnel in its correct use.
• Ensure the instrument or instrument table is placed on a level and stable surface.
• Use only genuine Rodenstock approved parts and accessories or device safety and
performance may be compromised.
• Shut down after every use. In case the dust cover is used: risk of overheating.
• For indoor use only (protect from moisture).
• Electrical equipment can be affected by electromagnetic interference, for example
videostream may freeze for one minute or more. If this occurs whilst using this equipment,
switch the unit off and reposition. Essential performance is determined as continuous
videostream which cannot be interrupted for longer than one minute.
• Do not touch accessible connectors and the patient simultaneously.
• The Rodenstock Slit Lamp should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment.
If adjacent or stacked use with other equipment is
• Necessary, the Rodenstock Slit Lamp should be observed/monitored to verify normal
operation in the confi guration in which it will be used.
• The Rodenstock Slit Lamp cannot be used in the vicinity of sources known to cause
electromagnetic disturbance (magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography,
radio-frequency identifi cation, metal detectors, electronic article surveillance and other
electromagnetic security systems). Do not bring the Rodenstock digital Slit lamp into
magnetic resonance environment.
Before use, the Slit Lamp should be allowed to adjust to the ambient
room temperature for several hours. This is especially important when the
unit has been stored or transported in a cold environment; this can cause
severe condensation to develop on the optical elements.
2.3 CONTRAINDICATION
There is no restriction to patient population this device can be used with other than those
outlined in the contra-indications stated below.
Slit lamps can produce discomfort in some photophobic patients due to the high illumination.
Additionally patients must be co-operative and capable of sitting upright for the duration of
the examination, therefore the technique may not be suitable for patients who are unable to sit
upright for long periods of time or those with limited neck and back mobility.
