ADC Diagnostix Otoscope PMV Series Instruction Manual page 5

Never attempt to take the instrument apart! There is a danger of life-threatening
electrical shock. Unplug the instrument before cleaning or when disinfecting.
Warning: Do not use batteries, electrical cords other than those included with this product or
replacement parts supplied by the manufacturer.
Warning: 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. This
device should be used with filters that eliminate UV radiation (<400 nm) and, whenever
possible, filters that eliminate short-wavelength blue light (<420 nm).
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
ophthalmoscopes, 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.
Warning: Otoscope MUST be used with included disposable specula.
Warning: This product may contain a chemical known to the state of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Caution: Not made with natural rubber latex.
Attention: Make sure to charge wall plug-in handles for at least 12 hours before
first use and for all subsequent charges to ensure optimal capacity and battery life.
NOTE: To obtain the greatest performance from your Diagnostix
recommended that the instrument be used within a temperature range of 50°F (10°C) to
104°F (40°C), with a 10-95% relative humidity.
