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 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 (2) prepackaged, sterile, and disposable joysticks.
The joystick is to be threaded onto the headlight module as shown above 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.
