Introduction
Please read this instruction manual before operating the OCT imaging
system. All statements regarding safety and any technical specifications only
apply when the system is operated correctly.
This system is intended for laboratory use only and is NOT cleared or
certified for medical applications.
This system contains a superluminescent diode (SLD) which is considered a
Class 1 laser device.
There is laser emission from the lens at the end of the scanner.
The Lumedica OQ Labscope OCT Imaging system is an optical coherence tomography system
for general laboratory, research, and industrial use. A 840 nm superluminescent diode (SLD)
provides the light source. When combined with an interferometer and high-resolution
spectrometer, the system generates optical depth images of samples. System is configured
with a scanner that may be used in either a handheld configuration or mounted into a scanner
stand. An embedded Windows PC provides the user interface for controlling the system and
generating the OCT images. The system will image any samples that can be placed about 1 cm
from the end of the scanner
Thank you for purchasing an OQ LabScope system from Lumedica. Our goal at Lumedica is to
build great OCT systems at affordable prices. We believe that OCT imaging should be available
to all who wish to use it in education, research, and industry.
The team at Lumedica is available to support your work. If you have questions or ideas, please
contact us at the email address or phone number below.

Safety
General Safety
 Check the supply voltage and cords before plugging in the system. System power supply must
be plugged in to a grounded outlet (100 -240 VAC, 50 – 60 Hz). If the provided cords do not
match your outlet, please contact Lumedica for a replacement.
 The main unit (or system chassis) requires a supply voltage of 12Vdc and has a maximum power
rating of 60W. This power is supplied by a removable 12Vdc mains supply with power cord.
 If the system has been recently shipped; do not operate until the unit temperature has
equilibrated to room temperature.
 System must be on a flat, dry, and stable surface for operation.
 There are no user serviceable parts inside the scanner or the computer. Operators may make
adjustments to the reference arm inside the OCT engine. Instructions are provided in the section
titled ‘Customized OCT System Configuration’.
 Do not obstruct the air vents on the bottom or top of the system.
 The safety of any system incorporating this system is the responsibility of the assembler of the
combined system.
 If the system is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, then protection provided by
the system may be impaired.
 Noise Levels for this equipment were recorded at less than 70 db(A).
Foreseeable Misuse
 Do not use this product outdoors.
 Do not store or operate the system in a damp or closed environment.
 Do not use the equipment in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
 Do not use solvents on or near the equipment.
 Do not use equipment unless trained to do so.
 Do not open any of the sealed electrical enclosures.
 Ensure that the equipment is disconnected from the mains power prior to re-locating, any
maintenance, and/or cleaning.
Care and Maintenance
Please handle the system with care during packing, transportation, and unpacking. Banging or dropping
the system can damage the unit or reduce system performance.
 Do not store or operate the system on surfaces that are susceptible to vibrations.
 Keep away from dust, dirt, and air-borne pollutants.
 The system is not designed for outdoor use. Protect the system from rain, snow, and humidity.
 Do not expose the system to mechanical or thermal extremes.
 The system has a degree of ingress protection of IP32.
 The acceptable environment use conditions for this equipment are:
o Indoor use only.
o Altitude up to 2000 m.
o Temperature range of 5C to 40C.

Original Instructions Lumedica OQ LabScope 1.2 | Page 4 of
26
o Maximum Relative Humidity (RH) at 80% for temperatures up to 31C, decreasing linearly
to 50% RH at 40C.
o Mains supply voltage fluctuations up to +/- 10% of nominal voltage.
o Transient over-voltages up to the level of overvoltage category II.
o Temporary over-voltages occurring on the mains supply.
o Applicable pollution degree of intended environment is PD2.
 Cleaning optional monitor – monitor screen may be cleaned with an oil-free, lint free type cloth.
 Cleaning the system chassis – the chassis may be wiped down with an oil free, lint free cloth.
Canned air duster may be used to blow dust off of main unit.
 Cleaning scanner – scanner may be wiped down with oil free, lint free cloth. Canned air duster
may be used to blow dust off of scanner including optics. If optics becomes dirty or smudged,
such as with fingerprints, please contact Lumedica customer service.
Residual Risk
Please note the following residual risks associated with this equipment.
 Possibility of electrical shock if/when working inside electrical enclosures.
 Possibility of ergonomic injury when moving the equipment. The main unit (or system chassis)
weighs 4.0 kg, the scanner weighs 0.5 kg, and the optional scanner stand weighs 3.0 kg.
Service
Only trained and approved Lumedica personnel are allowed to service the system. Please contact
Lumedica support for more information.

Quick Start (Basic System Only)
Carefully open the shipping box and unpack all items. Contents include:
 User Manual
 OQ LabScope system with handheld scanner
 Power supply with 12Vdc cord
 Appropriate country cord for 12Vdc power supply (US, EU, AU, IN, and UK)
 Roll of Scotch™ tape
If any items are missing, please contact us directly at [e-mail].
