Before every use
• When mounting accessory equipment, please make sure that the
admissible total weight of the surgical microscope is not exceeded.
(see "Maximum load" label or the section entitled "Technical Data").
• Before every use, make certain to compensate for any added weight;
this will enable the surgical microscope to maintain its balance in all
positions of the working range.
• Before every use, limit the stroke of the suspension arm to prevent any
contact with the patient if the surgical microscope is lowered accidentally.
• Check the surgical microscope for sufficient freedom of movement. The
device itself or accessories may be damaged if conflicting with each other.
• To ensure that no accessories can fall off the system, check the unit before
each use to makes sure that the accessories are firmly attached and that
the securing screws are properly tightened.
• When mounting accessories (e.g. fundus viewing systems) on the system,
make sure that sufficient free space is available for focus positioning and
that the surgical microscope cannot touch the patient.
• Before using a fundus viewing system, make sure that the space available
for movement is greater than the downward travel path of the
microscope.
• Always route cables so that they do not hinder the user.
• Before every use, switch off the light source for light guides that are not
being used and attach them on the mount provided.
• Before every use, check the light source in order to prevent phototoxic
injuries to the patient’s eye.
• If the xenon lamp is used beyond its maximum service life of 500 hours,
a sudden failure may occur. Replace the xenon lamp in due time and reset
the service hour counter to "0".
• Have an OR illuminator or an Endo-Illuminator ready during every procedure.
• Before every use, check the filter settings in order to prevent phototoxic
injuries to the patient’s eye.
• Never cover any ventilation openings. This may cause the light source of
the device to overheat and fail.
