Before use, a clinical/biomedical engineer or an EMC specialist should carry out an ad-hoc test of the electromagnetic radiation.
Safety 3.9 High light intensity The high level of light intensity produced by the light source may lead to permanent eye damage or blindness, and may cause tissue and items facing the light output to heat up. Do not look into the light output. Set the output of the adjustable light sources to a level that is just high enough to ensure optimal illumination of the operating area.
