American Diagnostic Corporation (ADC) Proscope 2.5v - Manual (Page 2)

Thank you for choosing an ADC® Diagnostc Instrument Set. We’re proud of the care and quality that
goes into the manufacture of each and every diagnostic instrument that bears our name. Every com-
ponent has been carefully designed to maximize performance. (For item 5212, also used in 5210,
5215, 5211, 5211V)
Device Description and Intended Use
The ophthalmoscope is a handheld, battery-powered device containing illumination and viewing op-
tics intended to examine the media (cornea, aqueous, lens, and vitreous) and the retina of the eye. It
is intended to be used by a trained healthcare professional.
Otoscope Attachment (5210 and 5215) - The otoscope is a handheld battery powered device with
magnifying system that provides illumination of the ear canal and tympanic membrane.
Nasal Speculum Adapter for Otoscope Attachment (5215 only) - When using the otoscope attach-
ment with a nasal speculum adapter, the device allows for direct examination of the nares while main-
taining a line of sight.
Bent Arm Illuminator (5215 only) - The bent arm illuminator is a handheld light that can be used to il-
luminate a patient’s mouth and upper throat during an examination. The bent arm illuminator is a
non-invasive light source designed to facilitate the examination of the oropharynx area. It can also be
used to assist in assessing papillary light response and for transillumination of the sinuses. When
used with laryngeal mirrors, it allows for non invasive, indirect visualization of the hypopharynx.
Latex Statement - This device and all accessories are latex free.
This device should be used by a trained healthcare professional.
Contraindications
The use of this device is contraindicated in patients who have already received prolonged or intense
light exposure, especially if the patients are infants, aphakes, or persons with diseased eyes. Exces-
sive exposure to light may result in patient injury. See warnings for additional information.
General Warnings
A warning statement in this manual identifies a condition or practice which, if not corrected or dis-
continued immediately, could lead to patient injury, illness, or death.
CAUTION: 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 ex-
ceed 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 expo-
sure 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 ophthalmo-
scopes, 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.
