Stratus OCT User Manual PN 2660021134133 A
1-12
WARNING: To maintain patient safety, peripheral devices, such as printers,
must be placed at least 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) away from the patient, such that
the patient cannot touch a peripheral device with any part of his or her body
while being examined. In addition, the instrument operator must not attempt
to touch the patient and a peripheral device at the same time while
examining the patient.
WARNING: Do not reconfigure system components on the table, nor add
non-system devices or components to the table, nor replace original system
components with substitutes not approved by Carl Zeiss Meditec. Such
actions could result in failure of the table height adjustment mechanism,
instability of the table, tipping and damage to the instrument, and injury to
operator and patient.
WARNING: This instrument may cause ignition of flammable gases or vapors.
Do NOT use in the presence of flammable anesthetics such as nitrous oxide,
or in the presence of pure oxygen.
WARNING: Avoid tipping. To avoid tipping, the printer supplied with the
instrument must be maintained in its place and no others are to be used. Do
not use the instrument on an uneven or sloped surface. Also, do not roll the
table in deep pile carpet or over objects on the floor such as power cords.
Failure to observe these precautions could result in tipping of the instrument
and/or table and resulting injury to operator or patient and damage to the
instrument.
WARNING: Do not scan the same location on the retina with the same scan
pattern for more than 10 minutes per day. Failure to follow this guideline
could result in overexposure of the patient’s eye to optical radiation.
WARNING: Do not scan patients who have been injected with photo-dynamic
therapy (PDT) treatment drugs, such as Visudyne
®
, in the previous 48 hours.
Failure to observe this warning could result in unintended exposure and
uncontrolled treatment of neovascular vessels
WARNING: This device contains visual stimuli, including flickering light and
flashing patterns, between 5 and 65 Hz. Medical professionals need to
determine whether this device should be used for patients who may be
photosensitive, including those with epilepsy.
Disclaimer: Carl Zeiss Meditec does not offer advice or instruction in the
diagnostic interpretation of OCT images. It is the clinician’s responsibility to
ma
ke diagnostic interpretations of OCT scans.
