SPOTLIGHT™ Rigid Arm and Bed Rail Clamp
Assembly
The assembly of the set can be done easily and without additional tools. All the handles should be
handled with as little force as possible and as much force as necessary.
1. Put the rail clamping base to the rail of the surgery table and fix by turning the handle in the
clockwise direction (We recommend positioning the clamp so the turning handles are facing
upward and outward with respect to the table).
2. Place the column with one hand into the hole on the clamp base and fix the column’s position
with the other hand by turning the appropriate handle in the clockwise direction.
3. The desired height and orientation of the column including the articulated arm can be adjusted at
any time by loosening the handle on the clamp.
Important:
To do so, hold the column with one hand and loosen the handle with the other hand. When the
desired position is reached, again tighten the handle.
Warning:
If the rail clamping base is not correctly tightened, it may become loose which may cause injuries.
Disassembly
The disassembly of the set can be likewise performed without additional tools and fundamentally
proceeds in the reverse order of the assembly:
Important:
Hold the joint support with one hand and loosen the appropriate handle on the clamp base with
the other hand.
1. Pull the articulated arm including the column from the hole in the clamp base.
2. Lift the rail clamping base from the rail of the surgery table after loosening the appropriate handle.

Instructions For Use For the Articulated Arms

Z
Holding-Releasing-Positioning-Fixing-Controlling:
1. Hold the articulated arm with one hand in the anterior segment and with the other hand manipulate
the clamping device.
2. To release turn the central handle (Z) in the counter clockwise direction, all the way as far
as necessary
3. Bring the apparatus in the desired position
4. To fix turn the central handle (Z) in the clockwise direction
5. Control, check the function of the articulated arm
Warning:
If the articulated arm is not tightened properly it can move and become loose, potentially
causing injuries.
Do not put excessive weight on the articulated arm.
The articulated arm can transmit electrical current and heat to the patient. The contact between the
articulated arm and the sources of current and/or heat must be absolutely avoided.
ATTENTION:
The fixation of the articulated arm is based on the principle of friction. Changing the position without
loosening the clamping mechanism can cause damage and will shorten the lifespan.
The articulated arm can be adjusted with little force. If the central clamping handle (Z) has been
fully loosened it has to be turned in the clockwise direction.
Store the articulated arm to protect it from damage.
Reuse
All the instruments and components must be cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized before each
use; this specifically applies also for the first use after delivery because all the instruments are
non-sterile when delivered. Adequate cleaning and disinfection is an absolute prerequisite for
effective sterilization.

5 of 96
Ensure that only validated instrument- and product-specific procedures are used for cleaning,
disinfection, and sterilization, that the apparatus used (disinfection apparatus, sterilization apparatus)
is serviced and checked regularly, and that validated parameters are used in each cycle.
Local hospital policies and/or applicable regulations, such as those pertaining to effective prion
inactivation, should also be followed.
WARNING:
The articulated arm should not be immersed in liquids.
Cleaning and disinfection
For the cleaning and disinfection of the instruments a mechanical procedure (disinfecting apparatus)
is used. A manual procedure should never be used.
The articulated arm should not be immersed in liquids.
The pre-treatment is performed as described below.
WARNING:
Before use, all the products should be removed from the transport packaging. Other packaging,
protective caps and foils, etc. should be removed and disposed off, respecting the environment.
The central handle of the articulated arm must be tightened during pre-handling and cleaning/
disinfection.
NOTE:
All the products will be delivered non-sterile. Please clean, disinfect, and sterilize the products
before the first use according to the instructions.
Pre-treatment
Directly after use (within maximally 2 hours), major soiling must be removed from the products.
Tighten the central handle of the articulated arm and place under running water or a disinfection
liquid; the disinfecting agent should be aldehyde-free (otherwise blood soiling will be fixed), should
have proven efficacy, should be suitable to disinfect instruments, and should be compatible with
the instruments.
Material Durability
When choosing cleaning and disinfecting agents, please make sure that they do not contain
the following:
•No organic/inorganic, respectively oxidizing acids (pH should not be less than 4, the use of
neutral/enzymatic agents is recommended)
•No bases (pH should not be higher than 9, the use of neutral/enzymatic agents is recommended
•Solvents (alcohol, benzene, acetone, etc.)
•Phenol
