2. SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE KaWe EXAMINATION LIGHT
Information about intended use: The KaWe examination lights
were developed to be used by doctors in hospitals or in clinics in order
to illuminate areas of patient's bodies during medical examinations.
Main function: The KaWe examination light serves to provide illu-
mination.
General product description
• This is a KaWe examination light as described in EN 60601-2-41,
which as individual luminaries, are not failsafe.
• The KaWe examination light is intended to aid in treatment and di-
agnosis.
• The KaWe examination light is used in areas used for medical rea-
sons (group 0, 1 and 2 according to DIN VDE 0100-710 and HD
60364-7-710).
• The lights are mounted on a stand.
• The lights are to be serviced every 2 years.
The KaWe examination light is avaiable in the following versions: LED
3000 – with electronic brightness control and LED 3000F – with fo-
cusable light spot and electronic brightness control.

3. OPERATING THE KaWe EXAMINATION LIGHT
3.1 Switching the light ON/OFF
The KaWe examination light is turned OFF and ON using button 1 on
the control panel.
3.2 Brightness control
The KaWe examination lights are all equipped with a brightness con-
trol function. The lamp models offer brightness modulation between
50% and 100% allowing the brightness of the light to be selected as
required. By pressing button 2, the brightness can be reduced. But-
ton 3 increases the brightness. The selected intensity is visible on the
display 4.
3.3 Focussing (only LED 3000F)
The KaWe examination light LED 3000F has a light spot that can be
focused, meaning it can be enlarged or made smaller as the situation
requires. To focus the light spot, turn the handle 5 on the light body
(see image).
3.4 Positioning
Use the handle 5/6 or both handlebars 7 to position the light body
as desired.
The outer handlebars are used to position the light before a procedure.
The handle is used to reposition the KaWe examination light during
surgical procedures.
There are two types of handles available:
• Standard handle 5
• Sterilisable handle 6 (additional cost)
The sterilisable handle can be removed for sterilisation.
4. CLEANING
4.1 Sterilisable handle
For an additional charge, the KaWe examination light can be equipped
with the sterilisable handle sleeve 8. The removable handle sleeve
can be steam sterilised and must be cleaned, disinfected and sterilised
before the first and each subsequent use.
To be sterilised, the handle sleeve must be removed:
• To remove the sterilisable handle sleeve 8, press and hold down the
locking mechanism V and pull the handle sleeve off in a downward
motion.
• Put the handle sleeve 8 back on by pushing it back on with a twist-
ing motion until the locking mechanism V clicks securely.
During an examination, the handles often become unsterile.
Therefore, ensure that additional replacement handles are kept at
hand.
Cleaning/Disinfection and Sterilisation
Basics
Effective cleaning and disinfection are key requirements for effective
sterilisation of the handle. The responsibility for the sterility of these
products includes ensuring that only sufficiently-validated equipment
and product-specific processes are used for cleaning/disinfection and
that the validated parameters are complied with during every cycle. In
addition, the hospital / clinic hygiene regulations must be observed.
Note: The national board requirements (norms and directives) for
hygiene and disinfection must be followed.
Cleaning/disinfection
Cleaning and disinfection must take place immediately after use.
A mechanical sterilisation procedure should be used for cleaning /
disinfection. Only procedures with proven effectiveness may be used
(e.g. those listed under disinfectants and disinfection procedures that
are tested and recognised by Robert-Koch-Institute / DGHM) and they
must always have already been previously validated. When using other
procedures (such as manual cleaning), proof of the effectiveness of the
procedure must be given as part of the validation. The principle proof
of the suitability of the handles for efficient cleaning / disinfection was
carried out using a cyclic cleaning system (Netsch-Bellmed T-600-
IUDT/AN, programme 2 for small parts; code B).
Agents / disinfectants containing the following substances may not be
used as these may cause changes in the material:
• High-concentration organic and inorganic acids
• Chlorinated hydrocarbons
• 2-ethoxyethanol
When cleaning and disinfecting, the following procedures
must be followed:
