WARNING: The light emitted from the ophthalmoscope is
potentially hazardous. The longer the duration of exposure, the
greater the risk of ocular damage. Exposure to light from this
instrument, when operated at maximum intensity, will exceed
the safety guideline after 13 minutes when lit with a LED lamp
(blue base). Exposure times are cumulative for a 24-hour
period.
WARNING: When using Halogen illumination, no acute optical
radiation hazards are identified. However, Welch Allyn
recommends limiting the intensity of the light directed into the
patient’s eye to the minimum level that is necessary for
diagnosis. Infants, aphakes, and persons with diseased eyes
are at a greater risk. The risk is also increased if the examined
person has had any exposure with the same instrument or any
other ophthalmic instrument using a visible light source within
the previous 24 hours. This will apply particularly if the eye has
had exposure to retinal photography. The intended use of this
device is for routine ophthalmic exams on the order of typically
less than 60 seconds per eye. Although there is a benefit
versus risk factor in any medical procedure, these more
complicated exams should not exceed a three minute exam
time in 24 hours. Significant use of this device beyond its
intended use is not recommended; it may cause harm to the
eyes.
