Visualization GLOW400 visualization types GLOW400 offers two different visualization types to observe the fluorescence signal and/or surrounding anatomical structures. WARNING Risk of compromised surgery. Use White Light or GLOW400 Anatomy to visualize peripheral view and/or surrounding anatomy. GLOW400 Anatomy GLOW400 Highlighted Fluorescence (HiFluo)
Each output view is a selection of visualization type(s) and the arrangement of type(s) (e.g. mono view or side-by-side view). When reaching the last output view and the predefined GLOW400 toggle button is pressed again, the GLOW400 visualization is deactivated and the blue light visualization of FL400 is shown on the monitors.
The "Copy" function (see chapter 6.1.2 "Creating a new surgeon profile from an existing surgeon profile or preset") allows to copy settings from a preset or an existing surgeon profile which can then be adapted to your needs. GLOW400 / Ref. 10 748 697 / Version 01...
Choose between different surgeon profiles from the "wheel". surgeon profiles and presets is displayed. The GLOW400 user can chose a surgeon profile for which the If more than 5 profiles have been defined, the user can rotate GLOW400 profile has already been defined or choose the FL400 through all defined and activated profiles by dragging with their preset profiles _Tumor or _Tumor+IGS.

Excitation intensity The excitation intensity is linked to Leica FL400 product. Please refer to Leica FL400 user manual on how to change this default excitation intensity. Per default this excitation value is set to 100% (see recommended excitation settings).
The fluorescence visibility can decrease even with standard conditions if the efficiency of the illumination system is reduced or the xenon bulb lifetime reaches its end. Please refer to FL400 User Manual for any limitations related to FL400. GLOW400 / Ref. 10 748 697 / Version 01...
Switch on the illumination used for GLOW400 and FL400. Activate FL400. Check if GLOW400 toggle can be activated and if the 5 output views are visualized on the monitor (after activating FL400 mode). Make sure the 3D glasses are ready for use in OR.
