There is one part of the NeuroLight that is or may be applied to the patient: the eyecup. Expected performance The following features are the essential performance characteristics of the NeuroLight: - Measure the average diameter of a patient’s pupil to an accuracy of +/- 0.1 mm (simulated...
Explosion risk: do not use the NeuroLight in a flammable atmosphere or in places where flammable anaesthetic products may accumulate. The NeuroLight is not designed to operate in the environment of a SCANNER, M.R.I or any other appliance creating powerful magnetic fields.
The use of the NeuroLight should not result in any significant pressure of its eye cup on the patient’s face but only putting it in contact. If too much pressure is applied, light marks or red patches may appear on the skin in the contact area due to pressure points.
These limits provide reasonable protection against electromagnetic interferences when operated in the intended environments (e.g. hospitals) Known contraindications to use the NeuroLight: orbit structure damaged, surrounding soft tissue oedematous, abraded skin.

Main menu Touch Screen The NeuroLight is designed in such a way that all controls are accessible with a simple touch of a symbol or icon. The touch screen is designed to work even if the operator is wearing gloves for the examination.
Before each use, the operator must clean this part. For more information about cleaning, refer to the “CLEANING AND DISINFECTION” chapter. This eyecup is the only part in contact with the patient. The eyecup is to be placed on the NeuroLight by simply pushing it onto the black lens. ...
The NeuroLight has also 20 pre-set files numbered 1 to 20. If there is no barcode scanning, the user will either choose one of those files or create additional files numbered 21 and above to save the measurement results.
The patient’s pupil should be centered on the screen and totally in green color. Only the pupil will be colored in the image displayed by the NeuroLight. If this is not the case, reposition or position differently the NeuroLight.
Hold function It is possible to freeze the analysed image of the pupil by putting the NeuroLight on pause. To pause press on the video image. It freezes the pupil size and the image. Press again on to deactivate the pause mode.

• Check the absolute values measured • Check the light stimulation • Battery replacement The lifetime of the NeuroLight, under the required conditions of use and maintenance, is 5 years (2 years for accessories). Caution: Only technicians trained by IDMED are authorised to carry out repairs or maintenance...
NeuroLight must be recharged immediately (Battery red) The battery has a 6-month warranty.

The eyecup, the only part in contact with the patient, will be removed from the NeuroLight and cleaned in the same way as the NeuroLight and then put back in place on the clean NeuroLight. It can also be cleaned by autoclaving (maximum temperature 135°C). The eyecup can withstand 50 autoclave washing cycles.
(see « Cleaning / Disinfection») Note : All other malfunctions must be handled by the manufacturer (IDMED) or by qualified biomedical technicians trained by IDMED and authorised to carry out repairs or maintenance operations on the NeuroLight. VI APPENDIX 2...
