Positioning
Distance: The device should be positioned at a distance of 17-40 cm / 7-15.7
inches from the patient’s cervix.
Important: the colposcope should never come into physical contact with the
patient.
Angle: The entire face of the cervix should be captured in the image, without any
obstruction by the speculum. The colposcope lens should be aimed directly at the
patient's cervix.
Illumination
The cervix should be fully illuminated, while avoiding any glare.
The LED light is powered by a rechargeable battery contained within the optical
unit. The battery has a charge capacity sufficient for approximately 4 hours of
continual use.
The colposcope reduces glare with a polarizer, however glare from the speculum
reflection is still possible. If this is the case, reposition the colposcope and/or the
speculum until there is less glare.
Focus
Adjust the distance between the colposcope and the patient. Once you have
achieved adequate focus, as you zoom in and out digitally you can use the manual
focus knob to re-adjust your focus.
After you have captured images, it is important to review the images to verify
they are clinically useful.
PATIENT PREPARATION
The patient should be prepared according to clinic protocol for the appropriate
type of procedure.
COMPLICATIONS AND SIDE EFFECT
No known complications to the patient will occur during digital colposcopic
examination. If acetic acid or iodine is applied during VIA or VILLA, standard
complications with their use may occur.
