Changing the Slit Lamp Illumination Bulb
It is prudent to always have spare bulbs on hand so that patients do not have to
be rescheduled should a bulb burn out during a procedure.
1 Turn off the system.
2 Remove the power plug from the wall receptacle.
CAUTION - The bulb is likely to be hot immediately after turning the system
off. Wait until the lamp cools before replacing it. Do not directly touch the new
bulb; finger oils may substantially shorten the life of the bulb.
3 If the replacement bulb is dirty with oil or dust, clean it with ethanol, using a
cotton swab or tissue, before use. Be careful not to directly touch the bulb.
4 On the right side of the illumination tower, loosen the bulb housing cover by
turning the thumbscrew counter-clockwise.
