Operating the Camera with a Light Source

Warning IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: Before operating this device,
please read this operating manual thoroughly and carefully.
When using this device with a light source, fire and/or severe
injury may result to the patient, user or inanimate objects, if
the instructions in this manual are not followed. All light
sources can generate significant amounts of heat (41°C / 106°F)
at the scope tip, the scope light post, the light cable tip, and/or
near the light cable adapter. Higher levels of brightness from
the light source result in higher levels of heat. Always adjust
the brightness level of the camera and the monitor before
adjusting the brightness level of the light source. Adjust the
brightness level of the light source to the minimum brightness
necessary to adequately illuminate the surgical site. In
addition, adjust the internal shutter of the camera higher in
order to run the light source at a lower intensity. Avoid
touching the scope tip or the light cable tip to the patient, and
never place them on top of the patient, as doing so may result
in burns to the patient or user. In addition, never place the
scope tip, the scope light post, the light cable adapter, or the
light cable tip on the surgical drapes or other flammable
material, as doing so may result in fire. Always place the light
source in standby mode whenever the scope is removed from
the light cable or the device is unattended. The scope tip, scope
light post, light cable adapter, and light cable tip will take
several minutes to cool off after being placed in standby mode,
and therefore may still result in fire or burns to the patient,
user, or inanimate objects.
