Light Source (See Light Source Manual for complete instructions.)
1. Plug power cord into the receptacle on the back of the cabinet.
2. Plug the remaining end into a properly grounded, hospital-grade
AC outlet.
3. Activate power and air switches to verify functionality of the lamp
and pump.
NOTE: The air pump that is built in to some light boxes is not used
for Rhinolaryngoscopy.
System Inspection
The following steps (in addition to leak testing, cleaning and disinfection)
should be repeated prior to every procedure to verify that the system is
working. If any problem is encountered, immediately contact Welch Allyn
Customer Service for assistance.
Insertion Tube
Check the entire surface of the
insertion tube for abnormalities
such as dents, wrinkles, or cuts.
Any indentation in a flexible
shaft of the endoscope can cause
damage to the internal mechanisms.
CAUTION: To avoid further damage to the endoscope or the possibil-
ity of malfunction during a procedure, do not use any instrument
with outward signs of damage.
NOTE: The distal end of the fiberscope must be
protected against damage from impact. Never
apply excessive force by twisting or severely
bending the insertion tube or bending section
of the instrument.
