**** WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

ADC Diagnostix instruments have been manufactured to the highest global standards and are subjected to rigorous quality control. Read these instructions for use carefully before putting the unit into operation and keep them in a safe place. If you should have any questions, call our toll-free number or visit our website. Our address can be found on the last page of this booklet. Please note that all instruments described in these instructions for use are only to be used by suitably trained personnel. The performance and efficacy of these instruments are only guaranteed when genuine ADC parts and accessories are used.
Warning: Do not use batteries, electrical cords, or replacement parts other than those included with this product or supplied by the manufacturer.
Warning: 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. This device should be used with filters that eliminate UV radiation (<400 nm) and, whenever possible, filters that eliminate short-wavelength blue light (<420 nm).
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 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.
Warning: Otoscope MUST be used with included disposable specula.
Caution: Not made with natural rubber latex.
Attention: There may be a risk of ignition when the instrument is used in the presence of flammable or combustible gases. Work in areas with good ventilation.
Attention: Make sure to charge wall plug-in handles for at least 12 hours before first use and for all subsequent charges to ensure optimal capacity and battery life. Never attempt to take the instrument apart! There is a danger of life-threatening electrical shock. Unplug the instrument before cleaning or when disinfecting.
NOTE: To obtain the greatest performance from your instrument, it is recommended that the instrument be used within a temperature range of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C), with a 10-95% relative humidity.
