General Notes
The warranty for the entire product is invalidated if non-genuine HEINE products
or non-original parts are used and if repairs or modifications are made to the
device by persons not authorized by HEINE. For more information, please visit
www.heine.com.
If you don't use the device for a longer period of time, please remove the batteries
in advance.
The expected life cycle, when the device is normal used and the warning and
safety information as well as the maintenance instructions are observed, is up to
7 years. Beyond this period, the product may continue to be used if it is in a safe
and good condition.
General Warnings
Check the correct operation of the device before use! Do not use the device if
there are visible signs of damage or the light begins to flash.
Do not use the device in fire- or explosive risk area (e.g. oxygen saturated or
anaesthetic environments).
Do not modify the device.
Use only original HEINE parts, spare parts, accessories and power sources.
Repairs shall only be carried out by qualified persons.
Do not use the device outside.
Light exposure hazard
Because prolonged intense light exposure can damage the retina, the use of the
device for ocular examination should not be unnecessarily prolonged, and the
brightness setting should not exceed what is needed to provide clear visualization
of the target structures.
The retinal exposure dose for a photochemical hazard is a product of the radiance
and the exposure time. If the value of radiance were reduced in half, twice the time
would be needed to reach the maximum exposure limit.
While no acute optical radiation hazards have been identified for direct or indirect
ophthalmoscopes, it is recommended that the intensity of light directed into the
patient's eye be limited to the minimum level which is necessary for diagnosis.
Infants, aphakes and persons with diseased eyes will be at greater risk. The risk
may also be increased if the person being examined has had any exposure with
the same instrument or any other ophthalmic instrument using a visible light
source during the previous 24 hours. This will apply particularly if the eye has
been exposed to retinal photography.
Caution – The light emitted from this instrument is potentially hazardous. The
longer the duration of exposure, the greater the risk of ocular damage. Exposure
to light from this instrument when operated at maximum intensity should not
exceed 12 minutes (with the use of HEINE A.R. 16D/Ø54mm A.R. lens).
Disposal
The product must be recycled as separated electrical and electronic devices.
Please observe the relevant state-specific disposal regulations.
