• Avoid looking directly into the light source, e.g. into the microscope ob-
jective lens or a light guide.
• When the illumination is on, the light guide must be connected at both
ends. Otherwise there is a risk of fire or burn injuries.
• Make sure that the instrument has been switched off before you
change the xenon lamp module. When switched on, the ignition sys-
tem generates high voltage.
Xenon lamps feature high luminance and a spectrum resembling that of
natural daylight. Therefore, only special xenon lamps approved by Carl
Zeiss must be used in ophthalmology.
• Any kind of radiation has a detrimental effect on biological tissue.This
also applies to the light illuminating the surgical field. Please therefore
reduce the brightness and duration of illumination on the surgical field
to the absolute minimum required.
• Phototoxic effect of light beams. When operating on the eye, always
use the yellow protection filter to ensure that the patient's eye is not
exposed to unnecessary (blue) radiation (risk of retinal injury).
• Adjust the illumination intensity as required for the type of illumination
used and the radiation exposure time. You will find the values recom-
mended by Carl Zeiss in the table "Maximum radiation exposure
times" on page 29.
