Safety remarks for user
Avoid touching the optics.
Do not look into the lamp while activated UV-emission. Although the device is

„EMISSION“.
2.1.6
Safety remarks for application at patient
Make sure that the device is firmly and securely attached to the stand and on the
couch or table. An insufficient attachment can lead to injury to the patient! Mount
the cable in a way that you do not stumble during the treatment.
Perform an illumination check prior to each treatment. For this purpose use the
attached measurement adapter and the included UV
–
meter. The check makes sure
that the irradiation intensity is in its defined limits and no harm is caused to the
patient. The tolerance range is dependent on the energy setting. There are the
following tolerances:

Tolerance range of the Illumination
3 mW/cm²
2,7 mW/cm

–
3,3 mW/cm

9 mW/cm²
8,1 mW/cm

–
9,9 mW/cm

Please document the illumination check in the template in section 6.7.4 (please make
a copy of this page!). In case the shown value is outside of this range do not use the
lamp (A readjustment of the Performance is local not provided for security reasons!).
In this case please contact your distributor.
A radiation dose of 90 (mW
∙
min/cm²) in the treatment with the device must not be
exceeded! This results in following treatment times:
Adjustment of the Illumination
Treatment time
3 mW/cm²
30 minutes
9 mW/cm²
10 minutes
18 mW/cm²
5 minutes
Exceeding the treatment time may lead to patient harm!
The overall dose of illumination for each treatment time is the same!
Do not operate the device unattended! Monitor the device during the treatment;
monitor the proper functioning of the device and the positioning and spacing of the
device to the patient eye!
The aperture must be fixed during the "Illumination check" and during the treatment
by turning right the control lever.
