ASTODIA Instructions for Use
1 Introduction
1 Introduction 1.1 Information on these instructions It is imperative that you read these instructions for use before using this product. Failure to follow the instructions for use can result in damage to the product or to other property and/or personal injury. These instructions contain important information on the safe use of ASTODIA. Fully read the instructions for use, including the warning and caution information, before you use ASTODIA. Failure to follow the warnings, cautions, and information on use can result in death or severe injury to the patient. ASTODIA consists of a control unit DIA120, a hand piece DIA130 and a charger DIA140. These instructions for use are directed towards trained healthcare personnel and persons in medical professions.
1.2 Specification of the application 1.2.1 Intended use The Diaphanoscope ASTODIA serves for searching blood vessels and helps identify structures filled with air or fluid deep under the skin surface. 1.2.2 Intended medical indications It serves for the translumination of the biological tissue, to visualize its structures; e.g. in the over-extentioned, neonatal wrist joint of the dorsopalmar, to punctuate the radial and ulnar arteries while they are visible and for the quick identification of a pneumothorax or a hydrocele in the field of paediatrics/neonatology. Two high-performance light-emitting diodes of different wave length (yellow and red) are used for a wide range of applications. The thermal load for the transilluminated tissue is minimized and regulated by an electronic control unit. 1.2.3 Contraindications Contraindications for the transillumination of tissue using visible light are not known for the intended use. 1.2.4 Possible adverse effects In normal use, no adverse effects arising from ASTODIA are to be expected. 1.2.5 Intended patient group Paediatrics and preferably for premature babies and neonates.

1.3.3 Caution information CAUTION Risk of injury! • The use of the ASTODIA diaphanoscope must be carried out under the responsibility of a physician. • In case ASTODIA starts directly after switch on in the highest light level and a change of the highest level is not possible - then do not use ASTODIA! • Due to its high light intensity this device may not be used in close vicinity to the patient's eyes. • If the ASTODIA control unit is being charged, a safety distance of at least 1.5 m has to be kept. • In case of continuous use at maximum intensity to a fixed point on the surface of the skin, temperatures of up to 48 ºC can be reached within a period ≤ 2 minutes even when device is being used in the intended use. Due to the small surface area and short amount of time, this should not be classed as a critical issue (see IEC/EN 60601-1). The slight redness that can be seen after use is quickly reversible and does not cause tissue lesions. • ASTODIA may not be used several times on a fixed point on the surface of the skin. • Once ASTODIA has been switched on, the red and yellow LEDs of the hand piece each flash three times (functional testing). ASTODIA may only be used after the LEDs have flashed. If the LEDs do not flash as described, ASTODIA must be serviced before being used again. • The essential performance can be lost or degraded due to EM disturbances. CAUTION Risk of radio interference! • According to Standard IEC/EN 60601-1-2, medical electrical equipment requires special precautionary measures in regard to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Install and operate medical equipment according to the EMC information listed in the accompanying documentation. Portable and mobile RF communication equipment may have an impact on medical electrical equipment. • This equipment/system can produce radio interference and can interfere with the operation of equipment in close proximity. It may be necessary to take appropriate corrective action, such as a new direction, a new configuration of ASTODIA, or shielding.

ASTODIA Instructions for Use
2 Product description 2.1 Introduction The method of transillumination or Diaphanoscopy has been used in the field of paediatrics and especially of neonatology for decades. It is used to identify a pneumothorax or a hydrocele quickly and to visualize vessels in limbs during a puncture. Until now, cold light sources with fibre-optical light cables have been used for this purpose. Nowadays, however, the light emitting diodes (LED) are more often applied. Because of its design, the ASTODIA is particularly suitable for the patient-specific application on small premature babies.
2.2 Technical Description ASTODIA consists of a control unit, a hand piece and a charger. Its light in the visible spectrum (yellow/red) is used for the transillumination of thin limbs (e.g. wrist joint) and for the quick identification of a pneumothorax or a hydrocele in the field of paediatrics/neonatology. The extremely bright light of the used high-performance diodes is adjustable in 9 steps or infinitely variable. The special yellow coloured light visualizes the vessel structures particularly well, as it is required for venipuncture. The red light ensures a continuous, extensive and deep transillumination, which is required for visualizing the pneumothorax or for diagnosing the hydroceles. The common interface on the control unit is designed for charging the integrated batteries as well as for the electrical connection of the hand piece cable. This avoids using and charging of the device at the same time. This way, the charger, when it is charging the device, cannot be seen as a medical device in the sense of the Medical Devices Directive provided the distance to the patient (min. 1. 5 m) is kept.

3 Installation
ASTODIA Instructions for Use
3 Installation 3.1 Initial start-up Before you put the device into operation, charge the integrated batteries. To do this, use the belonging charger which is to plug into the interface of the control unit. WARNING Risk of injury! To prevent the risk of an electric shock, strictly use a charger approved by the manufacturer. Charging is complete when the LED on the charger lights up green or alternately with a short flash of the yellow LED and the green LED. Prior to first use, perform the following inspections: Visual inspection (see Section 6.2.1 Visual Inspection)
4 Start-up
Read each section before you use ASTODIA.
4.1 Preparation for use To apply the ASTODIA connect the hand piece with the interface of the control unit.
Make sure that the plug of the connection cable for the ASTODIA handpiece is fully plugged in. If the plug is not completely plugged in, the function of the handpiece is limited; e.g. only the yellow LED lights up. 4.2 Starting CAUTION Risk of injury! • In case ASTODIA starts directly after switch on in the highest light level and a change of the highest level is not possible - then do not use ASTODIA! • Due to its high light intensity this device may not be used in close vicinity to the patient's eyes. • ASTODIA may not be used several times on a fixed point on the surface of the skin. • Once ASTODIA has been switched on, the red and yellow LEDs of the hand piece each flash three times (functional testing). ASTODIA may only be used after the LEDs have flashed. If the LEDs do not flash as described, ASTODIA must be serviced before being used again. 17

4 Start-up
Start the device directly with the keys or on the lowest light level. The device is, after of the LEDs flashed, preset to start with the red LED colour as standard. Infinitely variable light intensity is set by pressing and holding (for at least 0.5 s) the / key. If you press the button for a short time, you can change the light intensity. The colour changes from RED to YELLOW and vice versa by pressing this key
. The transillumination effect can significantly be improved if you dim the surrounding light.
2 3 4
If the device is constantly operated with the highest light level, it will automatically switch over to the next lower level after 2 minutes. If the unit is switched on for about 5 minutes and no key is actuated during this time, it will automatically switch off to save the battery power. If the battery power is low, the LED which is working at that time will start flashing. This warning can be suppressed for 5 minutes by shortly pressing any button. This can be repeated until the battery voltage reaches a critical value and the device automatically switches off.
4.3 End operation Switch the device off by pressing and holding the key
(for about 1 s).
4.4 Charging the batteries To charge the integrated batteries only use the charger provided with the basic equipment and follow exactly the instructions of the charger. WARNING Risk of electric shock! During charging, the device shall not be in the patient environment.
