Introduction & general description General description The BA 904 slit lamp consists of the illumination of a binocular microscope which can be moved, in front of the eyes, either in hand-held operation or with an optional instrument base. The illumination offers a range of setting possibilities for making the practically invisible areas of the eye visible.

3.2 Power supply This device must only be operated with the provided mains power supply lead and rechargeable battery power supplies. Connect the energy pack to the BA 904 slit lamp as shown in figure 7. When fitting for the first time you may need to push it down with some force to align the connectors.
Page 14
Mains operation The mains power supply (figure 9) is used to power the BA 904 slit lamp from the mains. • Attach the appropriate mains plug to the power supply • Connect the power supply to the BA 904 slit lamp by pushing it down, to align the connectors.
Operation 4.1 Setting the eyepieces The BA 904 slit lamp is factory set to allow a small amount of convergence through the device, in order to achieve optimum stereopsis. In some users this convergence may induce a small amount of accommodation. The eyepieces must be individually set prior to the first examination in accordance with the refraction of the examiner.

• Head and chin rest components that come into contact with the patient should be cleaned prior to every use to prevent cross-infection. The lamp must be switched off after every examination to preserve the life of the battery and bulb, and to minimise operating temperatures. 4.3 Operating the instrument 4.3.1 Headrest configuration (figure 12) •...
Page 17
4.3.2 Handheld configuration (figure 13) • Adjust the eyepieces in accordance with the examiners refraction, by turning the eyepieces and set the inter-pupillary distance • Switch the illumination on by rotating the illumination control dial clockwise • Manually position the entire device up and down, forwards and backwards, left and right until the slit appears approximately focused on the eye.
Decommissioning The lamp must be switched off after every examination. The illumination can be switched off by rotating the illumination control anticlockwise, until the end of travel. Lift the slit lamp slightly to disconnect it from the parking unit or retaining bracket.
