Warnings
A warning statement in this manual identifies a condition or
practice which, if not corrected or discontinued immediately,
could lead to patient injury, illness or death.
WARNING RISK OF FIRE. Do not operate on, near,
or over combustible material. Operate only on smooth,
hard, flat surface. This device is not suitable for use in
the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air
or oxygen or nitrous oxide. An explosion may result.
WARNING The high intensity light at the front of the
light source and at the tip of the fiber optic bundle will
create high temperatures and bright light. To minimize
the risk of injury, avoid direct viewing or contact with
sensitive tissues.
WARNING Do not use for neonate transillumination.
Erythema may result.
WARNING To prevent temporary blinding, always plug
the fiber optic bundle into the Welch Allyn Light Source
and set the light intensity control to minimum before
turning the power ON.
WARNING If this light source is used during invasive
surgery, the failure of a component within the system,
causing loss of illumination, may indirectly cause risk to
the patient. Therefore, it is recommended to have
alternative means of illumination available.
WARNING When the unit is on, never disconnect the
fiber optic bundle from the light source or the accessory
from the end of the fiber bundle. High intensity light
from the end of the fiber optic bundle can ignite
combustible material.
