Fiberoptic Cable Guidelines Device Description Fiberoptic cables are designed to deliver maximum light when coupled to a medical grade fiberoptic light source. The fiberoptic cables can be used with quartz halogen, metal halide, Xenalight™ or Xenon light sources. They are compatible with virtually all endoscopes, medical instruments, and microscopes.  Intended Use This device is designed to illuminate a surgical site by relaying light from a fiberoptic light source onto the desired site. The cables are medical grade, high transmittance, peak efficiency.  Contraindications This device has no contraindications of which we have knowledge.  Warnings and Precautions   The light cables are provided non-sterile and must be sterilized before use. See instructions for cleaning and sterilization.    For use with Xenon lightsources, be sure lightsource is filtering at least 90% of infrared radiation (IR) to prevent high heat.    Always inspect cables for any evidence of damage prior to use. Pay particular attention to optical surfaces looking for scratches or dings.    Use caution to treat the cables as you would any fine optical device.    The user of this product should be thoroughly familiar and trained in use and care of the product.    Match the cable size to the endoscope. Using a larger cable (fiber bundle size) than the endoscope requires will result in overheating the endoscope’s proximal end.    Light loss and warmer than normal instrument temperatures may be encountered if using a light source fiber optic cable with a larger aperture or bundle diameter than the instruments receiving aperture or bundle diameter.    FIRE or INJURY HAZARD: Energy released by illuminators used with fiber optic light guides is retained in the cable and transmitted to a connected instrument through the cable end tip. The output of a connected instrument or end tip left in close proximity or contact with tissue or flammable materials presents a risk of injury or fire. Qualified personnel must determine a safe working distance and intensity setting for each application. The output should never be left on unattended.  Adverse Events We have no knowledge of any adverse events with this product.
