3 General Warnings and Cautions
Please observe the following WARNINGS and CAUTIONS when choosing a location:
WARNING:
• Keep out of reach of patient.
• Not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with
oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• Disconnect from patient before the discharge of a cardiac defibrillator.
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Do not remove top cover.
• Routinely examine the power cord and plug. Do not use if inspection reveals damage.
Replace only with approved hospital grade power cord and plug with appropriate electrical
rating.
• Do not place the exposed distal end of the Micro Link
®
Fiber, fiber bundle, or endoscope,
in direct contact with flammable materials or human skin.
• The Light Source must never be operated without Micro Link
®
Fiber or fiber bundle
attached to either a headlight or other accessory. Failure to observe these precautions
may result in burns to skin, clothing or other material inadvertently placed in front of the
Micro Link
®
Fiber or fiber bundle.
• High energy radiated light guided through endoscopes may give rise to high temperatures
in front of the light outlet and to the tip of the instrument.
• Use care not to point the distal end of the fiber or headlight directly at the eye when unit
is operating. The brilliant light output from the unit can cause eye injury.
• Applied parts attached to this equipment should be approved 1) to the Medical Device
Directive (93/42/EEC)(Europe), 2) approved by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory
(United States), and 3) by a Standards Council of Canada accredited laboratory (Canada) to
the appropriate medical standards. The use of non-approved components may
compromise safety.
• During life threatening procedures, it is recommended to have a backup Light Source and
an additional CL series Replacement Lamp.
• The CL series lamps are highly pressurized, any damage or improper handling may cause
premature failure or explosion of the lamp.
• The CL series lamps are hot immediately after use, allow the lamp to cool for five
(5) minutes after operation. Temperatures peak in the CL Series light sources
approximately 60 seconds after the Light Source is powered off.
