Instructions
CAUTION: Prior to using this DermLite,
read these instructions and keep them in
a safe place for future reference. United
States Federal Law restricts this device
to sale by or on the order of a physician.
This DermLite is designed for external
examination only.
DermLite DL200 is a smartphone-com-
patible pocket dermatoscope with 10x
magnification designed to examine skin
lesions with polarized or non-polarized
illumination, with or without skin contact.
Directions for Use
CAUTION: Do not look directly into the
bright LED light. Patients must close
their eyes during facial examinations.
IMPORTANT: Before initial use, please
charge the internal lithium ion battery
for a minimum of 4 hours using the sup-
plied USB charging cable. See “Battery &
Charging” for details.
CAUTION: If your DermLite is used for
immersion fluid dermoscopy, place the
fluid only on the skin and then place the
extended Faceplate (FP) on top of the
fluid. Do not allow fluid to contact the
Charging Port (CP).
Hold your DermLite DL200 so that the
LEDs are aimed at the skin. Position
the device ~25mm above the skin and
push the Power button (P) to turn on the
device. Look through the lens with your
eye 25-50 mm above your DermLite. Move
the device closer or farther away from the
skin to obtain the desired image focus.
For dermoscopy with skin contact, or for
camera use, turn the Dial (D) to extend
the Spacer (S) and focus the image.
To toggle between non-polarized and
polarized illumination, push the Mode
button (M). The Polarization Indicator (PI)
lights up in polarized mode.
To turn off your DermLite, push the
Power button (P); it turns off automati-
cally after 3 minutes.
Removing the Spacer
The Spacer (S) may be removed by turn-
ing the Dial (D) counter-clockwise beyond
a noticeable resistance, then pulling
it off the device. To attach the Spacer,
insert its 3 legs into the 3 holes until
resistance is felt. Place the device level
on a flat surface and evenly push down
while simultaneously rotating the Dial (D)
clockwise.
Removing the Faceplate
The Faceplate (FP) may simply be pulled
off the Spacer (S) by grabbing it at the
fingernail notches. To reattach, simply
snap it back in place.
Infection Control Caps (IceCap™)
To support your infection control mea-
sures, 4 disposable IceCaps (IC) are
supplied with this device. To use, place
an IceCap over the extended Spacer (S).
After each patient, pull it off and dispose.
Smartphone/Camera Use
Your DermLite DL200 may be attached
to many cameras or smartphones using
DermLite MagnetiConnect® adapters
(sold separately). Prior to taking photos,
wipe the Faceplate (FP) clean and extend
the Spacer (S) until it is in focus.
Battery & Charging
CAUTION: Your DermLite uses a special
lithium battery, which can only be pur-
chased from 3Gen or from an authorized
3Gen dealer. Do not under any circum-
stances use another battery other than
the one designed for this unit. Doing so
could result in damage to the unit.
This device is equipped with a four-level
Charge Indicator (CI). When the unit is
turned on and fully charged, all four LEDs
light up. When less than 75% of battery
life remains, three LEDs are illuminated.
If more than half the battery is drained,
two LEDs are on, while a single LED
indicates that less than 25% of battery
capacity remains.
To charge your DermLite, connect the
supplied cable to the Charging Port (CP)
and any available USB port. When fully
charged, the device will allow approxi-
mately 2 hours of continuous operation.
After years of use, you may wish to re-
place the battery, which is only available
from 3Gen or an authorized 3Gen dealer.
To remove the battery (B), detach the
snap-on Cover (C): Pry it open, starting
at the small notch (N), using a screw-
driver or fingernail, then work your way
around the Cover to release it completely.
Disconnect the Battery Plug (BP), insert a
new battery and reconnect. Reattach the
Cover securely.
