Warnings and Cautions
1. Read these instructions thoroughly before using the device.
2. Before using this device, read the light source user manual for warnings,
indications, intended use, and other information about using the light source
system. (Refer to the Product Description section for Stryker user manual part
numbers.)
3. Federal law (United States of America) restricts this device to use by, or on
order of, a physician.
4. Carefully unpack the device and check if any damage occurred during
shipment.
5. This device is shipped non-sterile. Clean and sterilize the device prior to the
first use and after every subsequent use. Follow the cleaning, disinfection, and
strerilization instructions provided in this user manual.
6. Test the device function prior to use. If there is any sign of malfunction, the
device should not be used and returned to Stryker for repair evaluation.
7. Do not abuse, pull, stretch, kink, puncture, or otherwise alter the cable. Doing
so will cause irreversible damage to the glass optical fibers, which will impair
light transmission through the cable.
8. The surface temperature near the scope adapter and at the tip of the scope
can exceed 41 °C if the light source is operated at high levels of brightness for
extended periods of time. The heated scope and adapter can cause burns to
the patient, user, or combustible materials.
9. Do not leave a SafeLight adapter attached to the cable without an endoscope
attached:
• Light can continue to emit from the adapter, which can generate heat that
can cause burns or fires if allowed to come into contact with the patient,
user, or combustible materials.
• Laser radiation or high-intensity light can continue to emit from the
adapter, which can cause severe eye injury to the patient or user.
10. Disconnect the light cable from the light source only when the light source is
powered off or in Standby mode.
11. When operating the light source, never look into the following apertures or
direct the light toward another person:
• the light cable connection on the light source (if the cable is not attached)
• the end of the light cable (if the SafeLight adapter is attached)
• the scope tip
12. Never use this equipment in the presence of flammable or explosive gases.
13. Replace the cable if the light transmission is compromised due to damaged
fibers or connectors.
14. No modification of this equipment is allowed.
The warranty is void if any of these warnings or cautions are disregarded.
