If the device is stored for a longer period of time without being used, please remove the
batteries.
Avoid the penetration of humidity.
Do only use alkaline primary cells!
If the device gets warm, switch off the device, let the device cool down and remove the batteries.
Light exposure hazard
Because prolonged intense light exposure can damage the retina, the use of the device for
ocular examination should not be unnecessarily prolonged, and the brightness setting should
not exceed what is needed to provide clear visualization of the target structures. The retinal
exposure dose for a photochemical hazard is a product of the radiance and the exposure time.
If the value of radiance were reduced in half, twice the time would be needed to reach the
maximum exposure limit.
While no acute optical radiation hazards have been identified for direct or indirect ophthalmo-
scopes, it is recommended that the intensity of light directed into the patient's eye be limited
to the minimum level which is necessary for diagnosis. Infants, aphakes and persons with
diseased eyes will be at greater risk. The risk may also be increased if the person being
examined has had any exposure with the same instrument or any other ophthalmic instrument
using a visible light source during the previous 24 hours. This will apply particularly if the eye
has been exposed to retinal photography.
ISO 15004-2: Group 2 (LED)
Caution - The light emitted from this instrument is potentially hazardous. The longer the duration
of exposure, the greater is the risk of ocular damage. An exposure time with this instrument
at maximum intensity of longer than (see table exposure guideline) will lead to the guideline
hazard value being exceeded.
ANSI Z80.36-2016: Group 2 (LED)
Caution - The light emitted from this instrument is potentially hazardous. The longer the
duration of exposure, the greater is the risk of ocular damage. Exposure to light from this
instrument when operated at maximum intensity will exceed the recommended maximum
exposure (RME) of 2.2 J/cm
after __ min (see table exposure guideline). The risk of retinal injury at an exposure of 2.2 J/cm
is not high, but because some patients may be more susceptible than others, caution is
advised if this radiant exposure value is exceeded. However, because of a significant risk of
injury at exposures exceeding 10 J/cm
(see table exposure guideline).
