Purpose
The Riester ophthalmoscopes described in these instructions for use were
produced for examination of the eye and fundus.
CAUTION!
Because prolonged intense exposure to light can damage the retina, the use of
the eye exam device should not be unnecessarily prolonged, and the brightness
setting should not be set higher than needed for a clear representation of the
target structures.
The irradiation dose of the photochemical exposure to the retina is the
product of irradiance and duration of irradiation. If the irradiance is
reduced by half, the irradiation time may be twice as long to reach the
maximum limit.
Although 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 reduced to the minimum required for
examination/diagnosis. Infants/ children, aphasics and people with eye
diseases are at a higher risk. The risk may be increased if the patient has
already been examined with this or another ophthalmo-logical instrument during
the last 24 hours. This is especially true when the eye has been exposed to
retinal photography.
The light of this instrument may be harmful. The risk of eye damage increases
with the duration of irradiation. An irradiation period with this instrument
at maximum intensity of longer than >5 min. exceeds the guideline value for
hazards.
This instrument does not pose a photobiological hazard according to DIN EN
62471.
Lens wheel with correction lenses
The correction lenses can be adjusted using the lens wheel. The following
correction lenses are available:
D+ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 15 | 20
D- 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 15 | 20
The values can be read off in the illuminated field of view. Plus values are
indicated by black numbers, minus values by red numbers.
Aperture wheel
Using the aperture wheel and filter wheel, the following apertures or filters
can be selected:
Aperture Function
- Semi circle: For examinations with turbid lenses.
- Small circle For reduction of reflexes of small pupils.
- Large circle: For standard fundus examination.
- Fixation star: For definition of central and eccentric fixation.
Filter Function
Red-free filter: To increase contrast for assessment of (green filter) changes
in fine vessels, i.e. retinal hemorrhages.
Blue filter: for improved recognition of vascular abnormalities or bleeding,
for fluorescence ophthalmology.
e-scope® ophthalmoscopes
Remove the instrument head from the battery handle. The LED/incandescent bulb is located at the bottom of the instrument head.

- Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
- Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. The electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection by structures, objects and people.
-
Field strengths of fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cord-less) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM broadcast and television transmission cannot be theoretically predicted with accuracy. To evaluate the electromagnetic environment based on fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic assessment should be considered. If the measured field strength at the location where the e-scope is used exceeds the above-mentioned RF degree of compliance, the e-scope should be observed to ensure normal operation.
If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be required, such as reorienting or moving the e-scope. -
With a frequency range of 150 kHz to 80 MHz, the field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
Recommended distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the ri-pen.
The e-scope is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which RF emissions are controlled. The customer or user of the e-scope can help to
avoid electromagnetic interference by observing the minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the
e-scope in accordance with the maximum output power of the communication equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the
recommended- ded distance in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation
applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output
power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter
manufacturer.
- Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance applies to the higher frequency range.
