Setting Up and Using the LIO The Iridex Corporation LIO is designed to connect to the PASCAL laser system. An optical system projects an aiming and treatment laser beam delivered from the laser via a fiber optic cable. The user can adjust the angle of projection of the laser by approximately ± 3º.
Position the binocular block as close to the eyes or spectacles as possible for maximum field of view. Slightly loosen the ophthalmoscope angle knob to allow for adjustment and tighten when in position (fig 4). IRIDEX PASCAL LIO Page 6 of 35 88294-EN, Rev B...
The light is positioned vertically into the upper two thirds of the field of view by rotating the mirror angle spindle located on either side of the binocular block. Turning on the Illumination Turn on the illumination by rotating the headband dimmer switch in a counter-clockwise direction. IRIDEX PASCAL LIO Page 7 of 35 88294-EN, Rev B...

Use only Iridex Corporation-approved parts and accessories, or device safety and performance may be compromised. Use only Iridex Corporation-approved batteries, chargers and power supplies as per the accessories listed. The product has been designed to function safely when at an ambient temperature between +10°C and +35°C.
The light emitted from this instrument is potentially hazardous. The longer the duration of exposure, the greater the risk of ocular damage. Exposure to light from this instrument when operated at maximum intensity will exceed the safety guideline after 60 minutes. IRIDEX PASCAL LIO Page 23 of 35 88294-EN, Rev B...

Consult the tables below for guidance in placing the LIO. Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration – electromagnetic emissions The PASCAL LIO is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the PASCAL LIO should assure that it is used in such an environment.
Page 26
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the PASCAL LIO is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the PASCAL LIO should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the PASCAL LIO.
Page 27
RF communications equipment and the PASCAL LIO The PASCAL LIO is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the PASCAL LIO can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the PASCAL LIO as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
