The device described in this manual is the Spectra Series AUT1B Examination Light, manufactured by SKYTRON. It is a medical examination light designed for use in healthcare settings.

Function Description

The Spectra Series AUT1B Examination Light is a medical lighting fixture primarily used for illuminating examination areas. It utilizes seven (7) LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) and optical color corrective reflectors to provide illumination. The light intensity is adjustable from 0% - 100%, and the LEDs offer low heat radiation and increased illumination longevity. The fixture is mounted on a Skytron Ergon boom arm, which allows for continuous 360° rotation capability at the mount end of the radial arm assembly (RAA). The lighthead itself also offers a continuous 360° rotation point. The boom mechanism provides vertical movement of the lighthead while maintaining its position without drifting. The yoke provides additional 355° of pitch and 360° of roll, and the AUT1 fixture has a lighthead vertical travel capability of 110°. This extensive range of motion allows for precise positioning of the lighthead to illuminate the desired area during examinations.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): The device is designed to conform to the 2004/108/EC EMC Directive and medical equipment electromagnetic interference or susceptibility requirements. It is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below, ensuring that it does not cause harmful interference and is not susceptible to interference from other devices.

Usage Features

Intensity ON/OFF and Adjustment: The light intensity is controlled by an ON/OFF/Intensity pushbutton. Pressing the button turns the light on at maximum intensity. Subsequent presses cycle through medium, minimum, and off settings. Holding the button down allows for continuous adjustment of intensity.

Positioning: The lighthead can be positioned by grasping the positioning handles and moving the lighthead to the desired position. The boom arm, lighthead, and yoke provide extensive articulation for precise light placement.

Sterilizable Handle: The AUT1B lighthead is equipped with an optional sterilizable handle (PN B4-242-02). This handle can be removed and replaced for sterilization, ensuring aseptic conditions during medical procedures. The threaded hole that the sterilizable handle threads into is a set screw installed from the factory; this set screw must be removed prior to installing the sterilizable handle.

Safety Precautions: The manual emphasizes several safety precautions, including:

CAUTION: Always inspect product prior to use to ensure safe and correct operation. Any product deemed to be malfunctioning should be removed from service and labeled inoperable.
WARNING: DO NOT look directly into the light or place highly reflective surfaces in the path of the light beam to avoid the risk of impaired vision.
DANGER: Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING: Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
DO NOT use steam, extremely hot water (over 150°F), or high pressure water sprays to clean the equipment.
DO NOT pour any liquids directly onto the fixture.
DO NOT apply or spray cleaning agents directly onto the lighthead, camerahead, or wall control.
Use of incompatible cleaning agents will cause damage to the fixture. Avoid cleaning solutions with high concentrations of alcohol, ethylene glycol, phenol, iodophors, or glutaraldehyde-based disinfectants, as these can cause staining, pitting, discoloration, and diffuser cracking or personal injury.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning and Disinfecting:

General Cleaning: Use spray cleaners. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Leakage of fluids into the interior of the lighthead, camerahead, or wall control may cause corrosion of electrical components.
Painted Surfaces: Wipe exterior painted surfaces with a cloth dampened with a mild cleaning agent and dried with a soft, lint-free cloth. DO NOT use harsh cleaners on painted surfaces.
Stains: Most stains can be prevented by immediately removing the liquid or substance.
Rubber and Plastic Components: Clean rubber moldings, grips, covers, and plastic handles with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse with clear water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Disinfecting: Ensure the power has been turned off to the light unit. Only use disinfectant products that are certified from the manufacturer for compatibility with the following materials: Polycarbonate (PC), Silicones, Stainless Steel. Always consult with the manufacturer of the disinfectant product for proper application and use. Always spot test on an inconspicuous area before use.

Sterilization: The sterilizable focus/positioning handles and sterilizable camera cover are constructed of heat resistant, impact resistant plastic. They should be cleaned with mild alkaline cleaning products WITHOUT active chlorine. Thoroughly rinse off all capillaries with water. Ensure that the open side of handles are face down. Recommended sterilization parameters for sterilizable focus/positioning handle and sterilizable camera cover: Steam Sterilization: 132°C (270°F) for 4 minutes.

Routine Inspections (Annually):

Check all attaching hardware (e.g., screws, nuts, bolts) for tightness. Any missing hardware MUST be replaced.
Inspect Main Power ON/OFF Switch operation and Intensity ON/OFF button operation.
Articulate the Balance Mechanism and rotate each articulation point while observing for lighthead function and the ability of the arm to remain in any position throughout the entire range of movement.
Inspect polycarbonate diffuser for damage or scratches.
Clean and disinfect according to cleaning instructions.

Preventive Maintenance (Annually): This device requires periodic inspection administered by a SKYTRON authorized service representative. There are no user serviceable components inside the AUT1B light fixture. Service of the AUT1B light fixture must be performed by SKYTRON authorized service technicians using SKYTRON authorized replacement parts and service techniques.

Replacement Parts: The manual provides a list of lighthead assembly and power supply assembly replacement parts, including the decal, ON/OFF - INTENSITY, intensity control assembly, sterilizable handle, and fuse (1A timelag). Replacement parts should be identified by SKYTRON as serviceable by facility personnel and are available for purchase. To obtain SKYTRON certified parts and authorized service, contact your authorized SKYTRON representative.

End of Useful Life and Disposal: The end of useful life for the SKYTRON examination light is 10 years under normal operating conditions. Service parts are available for this period. Proper disposal methods are followed wherever disposing of old or damaged examination light parts. Always follow compliance to regulatory standards pertaining to Federal, State, and Local regulations. The device should be disposed of as electronic waste.

Revision History: The manual includes a revision history, detailing updates to the document, such as initial release, revised equipment labels, and removal of CE mark information from the cover and specific pages, indicating that lights manufactured 1-1-2019 and after do not bear the CE mark and do not conform to the CE standard.
