5. Then pat dry with a dry cloth.
6. Allow the cables to dry completely before using.
NOTE:
• Do not allow any liquid into the connectors of the cables.
• Do not submerge the cables in liquid.
• Avoid using alcohol based, amino or acetone-based cleaners.
• Do not autoclave the cables.
7.1.3 Cleaning the lens, mini LCD screen, and the LED circular light
NOTE: The lens should only be cleaned with special cleaning cloth designed for cameras or video cameras.
Using any other material may damage the lens.
The lens is a vital component of the colposcope and must be kept as clean as possible. Dust accumulation
and fingerprints or smudges on the lens can affect colposcope performance, such as the appearance of
spots, lowering image quality and weakening image contrast. Any fingerprints left on the camera lens are
harmful to the lens coating, so they must be removed as quickly as possible. Should any liquid, gel or body
fluid get on the lens, it must be removed as soon as possible. If the device is not in use, please cover the
lens.
The following is the process for cleaning the camera lens. You may use the same method and materials to
clean the surrounding circular LED light system and the mini LCD screen.
To clean the camera lens of the colposcope, please follow the steps below.
1. Make sure the colposcope is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall socket.
2. Use an air blower to remove dust or dirt.
3. If there are any liquid, gel or body fluid on the lens, use a clean lens tissue or cloth to wipe it away. Wipe
gently and use as many lens cloths/tissues as needed.
4. If there are no liquid, gel or body fluids, then lightly brush the lens with a special lens brush.
5. If there are smudges, use the lens cloth or tissue and wipe in a gentle circular motion.
6. If the smudges are still there, moisten the lens cloth with some lens cleaner. Then wipe in a circular motion
from center outward to the sides. Wipe gently and use as many lens cloths/tissues as needed.
7. Repeat this process with the lens cap to avoid transference of dirt from the cap to the lens.
WARNING:
• Do not use rubbing alcohol or eyeglass tissues to clean a lens. Each of these may contain additional
chemicals that can damage or leave a coating on the lens.
• Do not use anything other than lens cloth or lens tissue to wipe the lens.
• Only clean your lens when absolutely necessary. Every time you clean your lens, you risk scratching or
damaging it.
• Always place the lens cap on the colposcope when not in use.
• Do not let any liquid enter into the inner casing of the camera. If water enters into the inner casing of the
camera, call your technical team or an authorized Lutech service center for assistance. Do not use the
colposcope.
7.2 Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your colposcope. Please perform the following maintenance work
every six (6) months or as per hospital or clinic maintenance policy.
1. Check the cables regularly for any damage. If any damage is found, replace cables immediately.
2. Check the tightness of knobs and nuts of the vertical stand and camera regularly. If loose, readjust the
height or angle of the camera and then tighten the knobs/nuts.
3. Cover the colposcope when not in use to prevent dust from accumulating on the device, especially the lens.
Lens cap must always be on the lens when the colposcope is not in use.
4. Clean the colposcope as needed or as per hospital or clinic cleaning policy.
5. Ensure the equipment is grounded properly by plugging it into an AC receptacle with ground included.
Speak to the relevant department (such as building maintenance department) to ensure the AC receptacles
