Warnings: SPY Mode

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE - LASER RADIATION:

SPY mode controls a Class 1M laser emitted from the L11 LED

Light Source with Advanced Imaging Modality (0220230300), also

referred to as the “L11 LED Light Source.”

Use of controls or performance of procedures other than those

specified herein can result in hazardous laser radiation exposure

and can cause severe eye injury to the patient or user.

To avoid exposure to laser radiation, follow all warnings and

guidelines presented below and throughout this user manual.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

Before using SPY mode, read and be familiar with all instructions and

warnings found in this user manual and the light source user manual.

Protect the camera system against unqualified use.

Wear eye protection as appropriate. Refer to any applicable regional

regulations or standards for personal protective equipment.

Do not manipulate tissue while Contrast mode (a SPY mode) is on.

When using SPY mode, do not view the light output with optical

instruments (for example, microscopes or magnifiers). Do not direct the

light output in SPY mode into an area where such instruments are likely

to be used.

Do not turn on SPY mode when the endoscope is outside of the patient’s

body.

When SPY mode is on, never look into the following apertures or direct

the light emitted from the apertures toward another person:

• the light cable connection on the light source (if the cable is not

attached)

• the end of the light cable (if the SafeLight™ adapter is attached)

• the endoscope tip

8.

9.

When SPY mode is on, never leave a SafeLight adapter attached to the

light cable without an endoscope attached. Laser radiation can continue

to emit from the adapter.

Disconnect the light cable from the light source only when the light

source is powered off or the light output is deactivated.

Operating a Light Source

Please note the following warnings to avoid user or patient injury or product

damage when using a system with a light source. Note that the light source

adjustments described apply only to operating the light source manually (i.e.,

with Auto Light off ).

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE - HIGH TEMPERATURES:

When using a light source, fire and/or severe injury may result to

the patient, user or inanimate objects if the instructions in this

manual are not followed.

All light sources can generate significant amounts of heat

(exceeding 41 °C/106 °F) at the scope tip, the scope light post, the

light cable tip, and/or near the light cable adapter. Higher levels

of brightness from the light source result in higher levels of heat.

Always adjust the brightness level of the camera and the display

monitor before adjusting the brightness level of the light source.

If the brightness level of the light source can be adjusted, set it to

the minimum brightness necessary to adequately illuminate the

surgical site.

In addition, adjust the internal shutter of the camera higher in order

to run the light source at a lower intensity. Avoid touching the

scope tip or the light cable tip to the patient, and never place them

on top of the patient, as doing so may result in burns to the patient

or user. In addition, never place the scope tip, the scope light post,

the light cable adapter, or the light cable tip on the surgical drapes

or other flammable material, as doing so may result in fire.

Always deactivate the light output from the light source before

removing the scope from the light cable or leaving the device

unattended. The scope tip, scope light post, light cable adapter, and

light cable tip will take several minutes to cool off after deactivating

the light output, and therefore may still result in fire or burns to the

patient, user, or inanimate objects.

The warranty is void if any of the above warnings or cautions are disregarded.

Operation

Note: Before operating the device, ensure all system components have been

Power on the display monitor.

Press the power switch on the console to power the console on or off.

Note: A color bar pattern will appear on the display monitor if the camera

head is not connected to the camera console. If the color bar appears, refer to

the Setting Up the Camera Head section to connect the camera head.

Performing the White Balance Test

Before each surgical procedure, perform the White Balance test to adjust the

camera’s perception of white so it can display other colors correctly.

When a camera head is connected to the console and the console is powered

on, the display monitor will automatically prompt the user to perform the

White Balance test.1 Using the camera head buttons, follow the instructions

on the display monitor to perform the test.

English must be selected as the language in the Advanced Settings.

The White Balance test can also be performed after the camera head is already

connected by pressing the WB button on the Home screen of the console (or

a camera head button if it has been programmed for White Balance).
