FIBEROPTIC CABLES Instructions for Use

PLEASE READ BEFORE USE Failure to follow these instructions could render the device unusable and void any warranty. Device Description HOLOGIC® fiberoptic cables are designed to deliver maximum light when coupled to a medical grade light source. HOLOGIC® fiberoptic cables can be used with quartz halogen, metal halide, LED, or xenon light sources. They are compatible with virtually all endoscopes, medical instruments, and microscopes. This guide covers the following products: 83-20-5003 83-20-50031 83-20-50032 83-20-50033

Intended Use This device is designed to illuminate a surgical site by relaying light from a light source onto the desired site. HOLOGIC ® cables are medical grade, high transmittance, peak efficiency. Contraindications Warnings and Precautions This device has no contraindications of which we have knowledge. • • • • • • •

HOLOGIC® light cables are provided non-sterile and must be sterilized before use. See instructions for cleaning and sterilization. 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 HOLOGIC ® 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.

Cleaning and Sterilization of Fiberoptic Light Guides Cleaning Fiberoptic light guides for endoscopes, microscopes, and surgical instruments are high quality optical devices. They require similar care to that taken for any precision optical component. After each use, the light guide should be washed and cleaned of all debris. A soft brush and mild detergent should be used to clean the device. Pay particular attention to any crevices or seams. Avoid any harsh materials or detergents that can scratch or in any way damage the optical surfaces on each end of the light guide.
