IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Beforé operating or performing any maintenance or
repairs on the L9000 Light Source, read the User Guide
and Service Guide-thoroughly and carefully. When
using any light source, such as the L9000, fire and/or
severe injury may result to the patient, user or inanimate
objects, if the instructions in this manual are not
followed.
All light sources, including the L9000, can generate
significant amounts of heat at the scope tip, the scope
light post, the light cable tip, and/or near the light cable
adapter. Higher levels of brightness from the light source
result in higher levels of heat.
To avoid the risk of burns and/or fire:
‧ Always adjust the brightness level of the camera
and the monitor before adjusting the brightness
level of the light source.
‧ Adjust the brightness level of the light source to
the minimum brightness necessary to adequately
illuminate the surgical site.
* Adjust the internal shutter of the camera higher
in order to run the light source at a lower
intensity.
«Avoid touching the scope tip or the light cable
tip to the patient, and never place them on top
of the patient, as doing so may result in burns to
the patient or user.
+ . -Never place the scope tip, the scope light post,
the light cable adapter, or the light cable tip on
the surgical drapes or other flammable material,
as doing so may result in fire.
e; Always place the light source in Standby mode
whenever the scope is removed from the light
cable or the device is unattended. The scope
tip, scope light post, light cable adapter, and
light cable tip will take several minutes to cool
off after being placed in Standby mode, and
therefore may still result in fire or burns to the
patient, user, or inanimate objects.
