During use
• Reduce the brightness and duration of light exposure of the surgical area
to the absolute minimum level required to prevent phototoxic injuries to
the patient’s eye.
• When operating on the eye, always use the retina protection filter
(blue barrier filter) installed in the light source and/or the retina protection
device in order to prevent phototoxic injuries to the patient’s eye.
• Adjust the intensity of the irradiation and the resulting irradiation time by
selecting the appropriate illumination setting in order to prevent phototoxic
injuries to the patient's eye. You'll find the values recommended by
ZEISS in the table "Maximum radiation exposure times" on page 22.
Any deviation from these values is only permissible when medically justified.
• Avoid looking directly into the light source, e.g. into the microscope
objective lens or light guide, in order to prevent phototoxic injuries to the
patient's eye.
• If the light guide is not connected at both ends, there may be a risk of fire
or burning when the illumination system is activated.
• Never leave a device unattended when its light source is switched on.
• Do not swing the assistant's microscope into the horizontal viewing
direction. Otherwise the lock might be released inadvertently and the
entire assistant's microscope might drop on the patient.
• If you have mounted the RESIGHT fundus viewing system on the underside
of the microscope and steeply tilt the microscope, the RESIGHT fundus
viewing system may unintentionally move in and injure the patient.
Remove the RESIGHT fundus viewing system before steeply tilting the
microscope.
• Defective or unidentified accessories may lead to increased leakage
current on the device and injure the patient. Never connect any defective
or unidentified accessories and never touch the power outlet or video
interfaces while in contact with the patient.
• If you replace the lamp shortly after it has failed, the lamp will still be very
hot. Use heat-resistant protective gloves when replacing the lamp to
prevent burns.
• Malfunctions in the motor's electronic system may cause the main
functions to fail (XY movement, focus, zoom) and affect other functions.
Change to manual mode.
