3. ASSEMBLING THE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM
Before continuing remove the protective caps.
To attach the fiber optic cable, insert the instrument end into the headlamp module until it
snaps in place. A bifurcated cable fits into the cable clips on both sides and rear of the
headband.
To remove the cable from the headlight module, grasp the body of the module in one hand
and the silicone junction of the cable in the other and pull up. Do not pull the cable by its
legs.
Remember, the fiber optic cable is made of glass fibers. When adjusting the cable on the
headband, do not bend the cable at an angle of more than 60 degrees.
Next, place the headband on your head with the Rear Cranial Support sitting comfortably
on the back of your head; you can make size adjustments by turning the knob on the rear
of the headband until it feels comfortable. Then adjust the top knob on the Sagittal strap for
more comfort.
Once the headlamp module and cable are connected, the unit is ready for use. The
headlight is provided with two prepackaged, sterile, and disposable joysticks. The joystick
is to be threaded onto the headlight module as shown in fig.1 and used to align and
position the module.
The system comes with gown clips to relieve the weight of the cable from the headband.
One gown clip is attached below the shoulder; the other is used to connect the cable to the
surgeon's gown. This eliminates the risk of tripping or dropping the illuminator end.
