ote: Only use ADC® instruments and accessories to ensure safe and
functional use of this product.
3. WAR I GS A D PRECAUTIO S
You have purchased a high quality ADC®DiagnostixTM instrument which has been
manufactured to the highest global standards and is subjected to rigorous quality control.
Read these instructions for use carefully before putting the unit into operation and keep
them in a safe place.
If you should have any questions, call our toll-free number or visit our website. Our
address can be found on the last page of this booklet.
Please note that all instruments described in these instructions for use are only to be used
by suitably trained personnel.
The performance and efficency of these instruments are only guaranteed when genuine
ADC®parts and accessories are used.
Attention: There may be a risk of gases igniting when the instrument is used in the
presence of flammable or combustible gases. Working in areas with good

Never attempt to take the instrument apart! There is a danger of life-threatening
electrical shock. Unplug the instrument before cleaning or when disinfecting.
Warning: Do not use batteries, electrical cords other than those included with this product or
replacement parts supplied by the manufacturer.
Warning: Because prolonged intense light exposure can damage the retina, the use of the
device for ocular examination should not be unnecessarily prolonged, and the brightness setting
should not exceed what is needed to provide clear visualization of the target structures. This
device should be used with filters that eliminate UV radiation (<400 nm) and, whenever
possible, filters that eliminate short-wavelength blue light (<420 nm).
The retinal exposure dose for a photochemical hazard is a product of the radiance and the
exposure time. If the value of radiance were reduced in half, twice the time would be needed to
reach the maximum exposure limit.
While no acute optical radiation hazards have been identified for direct or indirect
ophthalmoscopes, it is recommended that the intensity of light directed into the patient’s eye be
limited to the minimum level which is necessary for diagnosis. Infants, aphakes and persons
with diseased eyes will be at greater risk. The risk may also be increased if the person being
examined has had any exposure with the same instrument or any other ophthalmic instrument
using a visible light source during the previous 24 hours. This will apply particularly if the eye
has been exposed to retinal photography.
Warning: Otoscope MUST be used with included disposable specula.
Warning: This product may contain a chemical known to the state of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Caution: Not made with natural rubber latex.
Attention: Make sure to charge wall plug-in handles for at least 12 hours before
first use and for all subsequent charges to ensure optimal capacity and battery life.
OTE: To obtain the greatest performance from your DiagnostixTM Instrument, it is
recommended that the instrument be used within a temperature range of 50°F (10°C) to
104°F (40°C), with a 10-95% relative humidity.
