SECTION ONE - GENERAL INFORMATION Product Description The LuxOR™ Ophthalmic Microscope System is an ophthalmic surgical instrument used for visualization and illumination of the eye during ophthalmic surgery. The microscope system is intended for low magnification visualization during ophthalmic surgical procedures, including: cataract, retinal, and corneal procedures. The Q-VUE™...
Intended Use(s) The LuxOR™ Ophthalmic Microscope is designed for use in the operating room during ophthalmic surgeries such as: cataract, refractive, glaucoma, and plastic surgery The LuxOR™ Ophthalmic Microscope is intended to assist the surgeon in viewing the eye during posterior and anterior ophthalmic surgery. This is accomplished by means of providing adjustable illumination, magnification and focus.
• Modifications and repairs on this equipment may only be performed by service personnel authorized by Alcon. • The manufacturer will not accept any liability for damage caused by unauthorized persons tampering with the equipment; this will also forfeit any rights to warranty claims.
Before Every Use of the Instrument • Make sure the articulating arm to which the LIBERO-XY™ system is attached is properly balanced in the use position. • Make sure the suspension system (LuxOR Revalia™ (LX3 LED) Floor Stand) to which the LIBERO-XY™ system is attached has no damaged casters (if applicable).
LuxOR Revalia™ (LX3 LED) Microscope System Warnings • Observe these and all other safety precautions for the LuxOR Revalia™ (LX3 LED) microscope system, as they still apply. WARNINGS! • Prolonged exposure to the microscope light may be harmful to the eye. The maximum safe eye exposure at maximum level of illumination is 32 minutes.
Footswitch If required, the footswitch may be wiped with mild soap and water, or any germicidal solution that is compatible with the plastic parts. WARNINGS! • If footswitch is used in wired configuration, route cable properly to avoid tripping. • Footswitch battery can only be serviced or replaced by factory-trained service engineer.
Phototoxicity During exposure to light from the instrument, do not exceed the hazard reference values. For this instrument operated at 175 mm working distance, an exposure time of over 32 minutes at maximum output power may exceed the hazard reference value. WARNING! Prolonged exposure to the microscope light may be harmful to the eye.
Page 19
Special operating conditions should be applied when performing corneal transplantation. When considering corneal transplantation, different assumptions must be used when determining maximum light exposure limits. These worst case assumptions include: • Completely unmoving eye (continuous radiation of the same region) •...
• A qualified technician must perform a visual inspection of the following components every twelve months: • Warning Labels, • Power Cord, • Fuses. • In case of a deficiency, do not use the system; call Alcon Technical Services. • A qualified technician must check ground continuity and leakage current every twelve months to ensure they are within the limits of the applicable standards (for example: IEC60601-1).

Theory of Operation LuxOR Revalia™ (LX3 LED) Ophthalmic Microscope Designed as a fully-integrated ophthalmologic microscope system, the LuxOR Revalia™ (LX3 LED) System synchronizes with the precision optics of the LuxOR Revalia™ microscope. The microscope features a motorized zoom barrel (4:1 with automatic reset) and focus drive (30 mm travel with automatic reset) which is controlled via the footswitch.
LuxOR Revalia™ (LX3 LED) Microscope with Q-VUE™ 3D Assistant Visualization The Q-VUE™ microscope is a true stereo co-observation system with independent 5-step magnification control (Figure 2–7). This feature allows a co-observer to view the procedure from either side of the primary surgeon in true stereoscopic vision without light loss to the primary surgeon’s view.
Optics Accessories Accessory components can be added onto the LuxOR Revalia™ (LX3 LED) microscope, and after stacking what can be many components, the articulating arm must be re- balanced in the use position to compensate for the added weight. Then, to avoid inadvertent patient contact during surgery, the lower limit safety stop must be adjusted.
The Footswitch The LuxOR Revalia™ (LX3 LED) system operates with the LX3 Footswitch (Figure 2–10). All functions of the microscope can be controlled with the footswitch (see, ”Menu / Doctor Settings / Footswitch Tab” on page 2.33 of this manual for programming instructions).
Footswitch Hanger / Charging Station When out of use, the footswitch hangs on the back of the floor stand. If used wirelessly, its internal battery is charged through the surface of the charging station. If wired to the LuxOR Revalia™ microscope, and system power is turned on, the footswitch battery is charged through the cable.
Page 50
To successfully charge wireless footswitch on cradle: • Ensure the footswitch skin is flush with the console skin when cradled. • There are no battery-related alerts. • If footswitch is cabled and placed on the cradle, it will wirelessly charge when console is OFF.
Footswitch Battery Charge Status Indicator One of the following is displayed to the right of the footswitch button: • If the footswitch battery is not low and not charging, a bar graph with 3 green segments. • If the footswitch battery is low and not charging, a bar graph with 2 yellow segments.
The Electromechanical Clutches The LuxOR Revalia™ (LX3 LED) floor stand is equipped with three electromechanical clutches designed to lock the microscope in the doctor’s preferred position. One is between the rolling base and floor stand, one is between the floor stand and articulating arm, and the third locks the articulating arm’s vertical movement (Figure 2–1).
Touch Screens The main user interface is the LuxOR Revalia™ (LX3 LED) Primary Control Panel (Figure 2–14); doctor selection and system controls through the MENU function are performed on this touchscreen. The LIBERO-XY™ Remote Communication System is driven by the LuxOR Revalia™ (LX3 LED) Primary Control Panel. Both screens allow the user to turn the light ON/OFF and adjust Light Intensity.

Both manual cleaning and automated wash procedures are presented. WARNINGS! • If a knob cover is received in a defective condition, do not use. Notify Alcon immediately. • Knob covers are provided as non-sterile units and must be cleaned and sterilized prior to use.
Manual Cleaning Procedure 2. Remove knob covers from module immediately after use. 3. Promptly clean any visible debris using sterile lint-free wipes moistened with 70% IPA. Alternately, distilled water may be used initially with lint-free wipes, and then followed by sterile lint-free wipes moistened with 70% IPA. 4.
Page 108
4. Program washer to have the following automated cycle: • Main wash at 55 °C for 10 minutes (dispense detergent as recommended by detergent and washer manufacturer) • Set neutralizer for a minimum of 1.5 minutes (dispense neutralizer as recommended by detergent and washer manufacturer) •...
Sterilize the knob covers using a steam sterilization cycle. The sterilization settings provided in (Table 4–1) have been validated by Alcon Laboratories, Inc. as being capable of sterilizing the instruments for re-use. It remains the responsibility of the processor to ensure that the processing as actually performed using equipment, materials, and personnel in the facility will provide clean sterile covers.
Removing and Replacing LED Illuminator Modules NOTE: Pay close attention to these instruction to avoid damage to the connector or other parts of the system. The LED modules are available in various color temperature options (“Table 6–1 Accessories and parts” on page 6.2 Figure 4–3 LED Module Color Temperature Options LED module (sticker identifies LED color as warm white)
Page 111
CAUTION Do not touch the LEDs or printed circuit board with bare hands as it will negatively impact system performance. 3. When installing or replacing, the LED module onto the Illumin-I, ensure the module engages the Illumin-I with mounting faces parallel; avoid tilting the module in any direction.
Page 112
5. Once properly aligned, seat the module by pushing all the way in against the Illumin-I. 6. Once fully engaged, lock the module in place with the two thumbscrews, tightening in equal increments, a little at a time until both thumbscrews are tight, so the lamp properly engages flush to the Illumin-I.
The fuse door must be pressed gently to ensure it does not break. 3. With fuse door open, grasp the fuse holder and pull it out from the power module. 4. Gently remove and replace fuses. Contact Alcon Technical Services for the correct rating and size.
