3. ASSEMBLING THE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM
Before continuing, remove the protective caps.
To attach the fiberoptic cable, insert the instrument end into the headlamp module until it
snaps into place (Figure 1). A bifurcated cable fits into the cable clips on both sides and
rear of the headband.
To remove the cable, grasp the body of the module in one hand and the metal part of the
cable in the other and pull up. Do not pull the cable by its silicone tubing.
Remember, the fiberoptic 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; make size adjustments turning the knob on the
rear of the headband until it feels comfortable. For more comfort, adjust the cross band.
On the sweatband the adjustments are made by the rear. Open the sweatband at the
rear and adjust until comfort is reached; press unit together with the Velcro etched.
Once the headlamp module and cable are connected, the unit is ready for use. The
headlight is provided with (2) 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.
CAUTION: The metal portion of the fiberoptic cable at the lightsource gets hot
during operation. Allow cooling for a minimum of five minutes outside the
illuminator before touching.
