Operation

Initial optical set up
Remove the protective dust cover (16) and place aside for reattaching after the examination. Unlock the adjustment lever (5) so that the optics unit (13) is free to move. Place the instrument on your head and adjust the height and circumference by means of the width adjustment (1) and height adjustment (2), respectively, until a comfortable fit is achieved. The rear part of the headband can be adjusted according to personal preference. Adjust the optics unit (13) to a position as close as possible to your eyes and centred to your face, then lock it in this position using the adjustment lever (5). Adjust the eyepieces (19) horizontally to match your own personal pupillary distance. The initially mounted eyepieces (19) incorporate +2D lenses that can be exchanged with neutral lenses (0D). Switch on the light by turning the brightness control (6) clockwise. You should now see the illumination spot being centred to your view at a distance of about 40 cm and you should be able to observe a pencil-sized object sharply focused at this distance. If you cannot focus on the pencil-sized object, you may have to adjust your distance to the object. Alternatively, you may try exchanging the initially mounted eyepieces (+2D lenses) (19) with the eyepieces containing neutral lenses (0D). More details on how to interchange the eyepieces (19) can be found in the section ”Maintenance“. If the illumination spot is not centred, you can adjust it vertically by twisting the illumination height adjustment (15) and you can adjust it horizontally by simply rotating the whole instrument slightly to the desired side. If a proper alignment has not been achieved, repeat steps as above. Correct adjustment of eyepieces (19) which match your own personal pupillary distance is particularly important when examining through small pupils. Each user should adjust the setting to match their own personal pupillary distance.

Setting the brightness

Adjust the brightness by using the brightness control (6). To increase the brightness, turn the brightness control (6) clockwise. Once you reach a latch, you are operating in the highest brightness range in standard mode. If you turn the brightness control (6) further clockwise and over the latching mechanism, you switch into the visionBOOST setting. When the end stop is reached, the highest brightness range in the visionBOOST is operating.
To decrease the brightness or to turn the device off, turn the brightness control (6) counterclockwise. When the end stop is reached, the device is turned off.
It is recommended to start with the lowest possible brightness and then increase as required for the examination. The visionBOOST might be used for the examination of patients with media opacities, e.g. cataract.

Aperture selection lever (14)
Three different aperture sizes and a diffuser aperture can be selected by means of the aperture selection lever (14). The choice of aperture depends mainly on the size of the patient’s pupil. The diffuser is useful for the examination of the periphery.

Filter selection lever (18)
In addition to the unfiltered option, the filter selection lever (18) can be used to select an interference red-free filter, a blue filter or a yellow filter. These are switched into the illumination beam.
The interference red-free filter can be used to view changes of the retina (e.g. new vessels or retinal nerve fiber layer defects) and highlights whitish portions of the retina, if present.
The blue filter can be used to do fluorescein angioscopy.
The yellow filter can be used to reduce discomfort for the patient and photochemical hazard by reducing blue light.

Stereoscopic adjustment lever (17)
This feature ensures the best possible stereopsis for any pupil size and from any observation angle possible (e.g. peripheral view). When examining a dilated pupil head on, it is recommended to move the stereoscopic adjustment lever (17) into the forward position. When examining the periphery of the eye or in case of undilated pupils, it is recommended to move the stereoscopic adjustment lever (17) towards the side position (turn to your left). The stereoscopic adjustment lever (17) can be positioned anywhere between these two settings to select the optimum 3 dimensional view in any possible situation. The illumination beam can be adjusted vertically by the illumination height adjustment (15).

Use of the flip-up function
While wearing the instrument, the optics unit (13) can be folded up into the rest position. To bring the optics unit (13) back into the working position, simply fold it down again. There is no need to readjust the instrument.

Teaching mirror (TM)
The available teaching mirror can be attached to the optics unit (13) instead of the dust cover (16).
To be able to follow the examination of the main observer, the secondary observer stands next to the main observer and looks into the TM attached to the device from the side. The observation beam is split by the divider mirror, which approximately halves the brightness of the image for both the main and the secondary observer.
The TM is intended for training purposes only.

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.

ISO 15004-2: Group 2 (LED)
Caution – The light emitted from this instrument is potentially hazardous. The longer the duration of exposure, the greater the risk of ocular damage. An exposure time with this instrument at maximum intensity of longer than (see table exposure guideline) will lead to the guideline hazard value being exceeded.

ANSI Z80.36-2016: Group 2 (LED)
Caution – The light emitted from this instrument is potentially hazardous. The longer the duration of exposure, the greater is the risk of ocular damage. Exposure to light from this instrument when operated at maximum intensity will exceed the recommended maximum exposure (RME) of 2.2 J/cm2, unless additional action is taken by the user to minimize exposure, after min (see table exposure guideline). The risk of retinal injury at an exposure of 2.2 J/cm2 is not high, but because some patients may be more susceptible than others, caution is advised if this radiant exposure value is exceeded. However, because of a significant risk of injury at exposures exceeding 10 J/cm2, the user should avoid exposures longer than min. (see table exposure guideline).
