Risk of burns due to light intensity that is too high
Due to the use of an additional beam splitter in the main observer beam path,
less light is available to the user in the eyepieces. However, to obtain the
same brightness level in the image as provided without the additional beam
splitter, the user can increase the light intensity of the lighting equipment.
The patient will be exposed to increased illumination intensity. This can result
in a first degree burn.
• To maintain the loss of light for the main viewer at a minimum, to the
extent possible use only a beam splitter with a splitting ratio of 80:20 for
the camera.
• Set the illumination intensity as low as possible.
• Accordingly, allow greater illumination intensity to affect the patient only
briefly.
The illumination can be switched off and on automatically
The system monitors the temperature of the lamp. If the temperature is too
high, the light source switches off automatically. After the lamp has cooled
down, the device switches the light source back on automatically.
If a device is left unattended, long periods of illumination can result in burn
injuries.
• Always switch the device off when you are no longer using it.
Decrease in the lamp brightness or lamp failure!
• Check the lamp brightness before each use of the device.
• If the brightness fluctuates, exchange the lamp.
• Take appropriate precautions to ensure that the surgical procedure or
treatment can still be completed even if the full functionality of this col-
poscope is not available.
• If necessary, use an external OR illuminator to proceed.
Interaction of heat and antimicrobial substances
High light intensity in the surgical field combined with a long treatment time
and the interaction of heat and antimicrobial substances in incision foils may
lead to an increase in the patient's reaction to these substances (skin irrita-
tion).
• Watch for such possible interaction during your treatments.
