Ophthalmoscope and accessories
Purpose
Riester ophthalmoscopes described in these Instructions for Use have been designed for the examination of the eye and its background. The examination lamp e-xam was produced for the purpose of examining body orifices. Furthermore, it can also be used for pupil reaction examination. (Photobiological test report EN 62471:2008)

ATTENTION!
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 ophthalmological 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 but still features a safety shutdown after 2/3 minutes.

Lens wheel and correcting lenses
The correcting lenses may be adjusted on the lens wheel. The following correcting
lenses are available:

D+ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 15 | 20
D- 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 15 | 20

Readings will be displayed on a lit panel. Plus values are displayed in black digits, minus values in red digits.

Diaphragms and filters
The following apertures and/or filters may be selected by the aperture and filter wheel:

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.
