8. When ENV mode is enabled, never leave a SafeLight adapter attached to the light cable
without an endoscope attached. Laser radiation can continue to emit from the adapter.
9. Disconnect the light cable from the light source only when the light source is powered off or in
Standby mode.

Please note the following special warnings to avoid user or patient injury or product damage when
using a system with a light source.

•
When using 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 (exceeding 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. If the brightness level of the light source can be adjusted, set it 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 before 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.
The warranty is void if any of the above warnings or cautions are disregarded.
