1. INDICATIONS FOR USE
This device is intended to be used only by suitably trained and authorised healthcare
professionals.
CAUTION: Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a
physician or practitioner.
Intended use / purpose of instrument
This Rodenstock Slit Lamp is an AC-powered slit lamp biomicroscope and is intended for use
in eye examination of the anterior eye segment, from the cornea epithelium to the posterior
capsule. It is used to aid in the diagnosis of diseases or trauma which affects the structural
properties of the anterior eye segment.
Brief description of the instrument
This Rodenstock Slit Lamp can either be mounted onto a custom table top supplied by
Rodenstock or can be mounted on a third parties table top (refraction unit) by suitably trained
technicians.
The Rodenstock Slit Lamp consists of 4 assemblies; Illumination Tower; Observation System;
XYZ Translation Base; Chinrest Assembly
The light intensity is controlled by a variable rheostat located on the XYZ Translation Base.
There are a number of selectable filters allowing the user to control the characteristics of the
examination light.
2. SAFETY
2.1 PHOTOTOXICITY
CAUTION: The light emitted from this instrument is potentially hazardous.
The longer the duration of exposure, the greater the risk of ocular
damage. Exposure to light from this instrument when operated at
maximum intensity will exceed the safety guideline after 171 seconds.
While no acute optical radiation hazards have been identified for slit
lamps, we recommend keeping the intensity of the light reaching the
patient’s retina to the minimum possible for the respective diagnosis.
Children, people with aphakia and people suffering from eye conditions
are most at risk. An increased risk may also occur if the retina is exposed
to the same or a similar device with a visible light source within 24 hours.
This applies, in particular, if the retina has been photographed with a
flashbulb in advance.
Keeler Ltd shall on request, provide the user with a graph showing the
relative spectral output of the instrument.

Only a hospital grade 3-conductor electrical power supply cable must be
used. For USA and Canada: Detachable power supply cord set, UL listed,
type SJE, SJT or SJO, 3-conductor, not smaller than 18 AWG. Plug, cable
and ground lead connection of the socket have to be in perfect condition.
5.3 FITTING APPLANATION TONOMETERS, T TYPE AND R TYPES
Rodenstock Applanation Tonometer (T-TYPE)
1. Position the guide plate in the tonometer / test bar support hole on the slit lamp.
2. Lift the tonometer out of the packaging and assemble it by inserting the pin on its base
into one of the two possible openings (for right or left eye) on the horizontal guide
plate above the slit lamp axis. These positions are related to the microscope optics and
observation can be made either through the right or the left eye-piece.
The tonometer will slip easily onto the support plate; stability is assured by the locking pins.
3. To obtain an image as clear and as free of reflexes as possible, the angle between the
illumination and the microscope should be about 60° and the slit diaphragm should be
fully opened.
4. When not in use the tonometer should be removed from the Slit Lamp and placed
securely back in the packaging or a suitable location.
Applanation Tonometer ‘Rodenstock Fixed’ (R-TYPE)
This instrument is for those who wish the tonometer to remain permanently on the slit lamp.
5. Mount the plate for the tonometer onto the microscope body using the securing screw.
6. Mount the tonometer mount onto the mounting post.
7. Swing the tonometer forward in front of the microscope for examination. A notch
position ensures exact centering of the prism with the left objective.
8. To obtain an image as clear and as free of reflexes as possible, the angle between the
illumination and the microscope should be about 60° and the slit diaphragm should be
fully opened.
9. When not in use the instrument is swung around and secured in a notch position to the
right of the microscope.

6. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
6.1 SETTING THE BINOCULARS
It is vital that the binoculars are optimised for the user’s optical
correction in order to obtain focused binocular images.
1. Remove the Test Bar locating hole cover plate (19) and place the test bar focus in the test
bar location hole at the base of the microscope arm.To access the location hole first remove
the cover. The test bar should be set with the flat projection face towards the Slit Lamp
Microscope. The illumination and the microscope should be in the zero degrees position.
2. Turn on the Slit Lamp and set the slit to full width (18), set the magnification to x16 (31).
3. Adjust the eyepieces pupillary distance by holding both eyepiece bodies and rotating
them inwards or outwards until they are correct for your PD.
4. Turn both eyepieces (32) to maximum plus (+)
correction.
5. Close one eye, and with the other eye look through
the microscope slowly turning the open eye eyepiece
towards the minus (-) position until the image of the
test bar is in focus. Stop.
6. Repeat the above process for the other eyepiece.
7. Make a note of the positions of the eyepieces so that
you can set them quickly if the Slit Lamp has been used by another clinician.
8. Note – younger examiners are recommended to compensate for their ability to
accommodate by further adjusting the eyepieces by minus one (-1) or minus two (-2)
dioptres.

6.2 PREPARING THE PATIENT AND USING THE SLIT LAMP
Parts of the slit lamp coming in to contact with the patient should be
cleaned in accordance with these instructions prior to the examination.
Rodenstock recommends the use of disposable hygienic chinrest tissues
on the chinrest before the patients place their chin on it.
Never use the instrument if visibly damaged and periodically inspect it for
signs of damage or misuse.
1. The patient should be as comfortable as possible and with the patient in the chinrest
adjust the chinrest height (7) so that the patient’s eyes are level with the height marking
(4) on the chinrest support.
2. Focus the eyepieces using the test bar as described earlier, and if you have not already
done so set them to your interpupillary distance by holding both eyepiece bodies and
rotating them inwards or outwards until they are correct for your PD.
3. Switch on the illumination, making sure the rheostat (25) is set to a low level to
minimise the patient’s exposure to light hazard.
4. Rotate the joystick (24) until the light beam is at eye level.
5. Holding the joystick vertical, move the slit Lamp base towards the patient until the slit
beam appears focused on the patient’s cornea.
6. Adjust slit width (18), magnification (31), slit rotation (13) & slit angle etc. as required to
perform the examination.
7. Loosening slit offset centering knob (16) to allow the slit image to be moved off centre
for scleral illumination.Tightening the knob will re-centre the slit image in the centre of
the visual field of the microscope.
8. The slit image is made vertical, or given a pre-set angle by means of the inclination latch
(17) (notches at 5°, 10° and 15° & 20°).
9. When using the blue filter (12) the user may wish to insert the yellow barrier filter (29).
The yellow barrier filter is out when the knob is up, in when it is down.

7. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The maintenance outlined below should only be carried out once the main
power cable has been disconnected. If you have any problems that are
not covered by the procedures described below, contact Rodenstock or
your local supplier.
7.1 LED SYSTEMS
LED’s typically have a life exceeding 10,000 hours of continuous use and therefore can be
considered as a non-consumable item that will not require changing by a user.
Whilst this is a significant life expectancy, we suggest that the Slit Lamp is always switched off
between examinations to conserve energy and LED life.
In the unlikely event of an LED failure please contact Rodenstock or your local distributor for
guidance on the replacement procedure.
7.2 REGULARLY INSPECT THE DEVICE FOR DAMAGE OR DIRT
Routinely clean as per section 3 on page 5 cleaning instructions.
7.3 CLEANING AND CHANGING THE MIRROR
The mirror is front surfaced to avoid ghosting of the projected light and therefore
is very delicate and will need to be replaced when the surface deteriorates.
The mirror should be cleaned only with a soft clean lens cloth.
The mirror is an interference fit in its holder and can be removed by grasping it
firmly and pulling it out of its holder. Slide in the replacement mirror taking care
to avoid touching the reflective surface.
Care must be taken to keep the objective and the eyepiece lenses clean – use
only soft clean lens cloths to clean optical surfaces.
7.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Routinely check all electrical connections, cables and connectors. To access the
bulb connections see earlier in this section for guidance.
7.5 OPTICS
The optics should be wiped clean of any loose dirt or debris with a suitable dust brush then
cleaned with a soft dry lens cloth, washed linen or other non abrasive lens cleaning material.
The condenser lens beneath the illumination lamp will require cleaning; to access this, remove
the lamp as detailed earlier, clean the condenser lens and then replace the lamp.
7.6 AXLE AND MECHANICAL PARTS
If the Slit Lamp becomes hard to move on the glide plate, the plate should be cleaned with a
lightly oiled cloth or silicon polish. The axle should be cleaned only with dry lint free cloths.

exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Rodenstock Slit Lamp should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orientating or
relocating the Rodenstock Slit Lamp.
2 Over the frequency range 150kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m.
9.3 RECOMMENDED SAFE DISTANCES
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment and the Rodenstock Slit Lamp
The Rodenstock Slit Lamp is intended for the use in an electromagnetic environment in
which radiated RF disturbances are controlled.The customer or the user of the Rodenstock
Slit Lamp can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance
between mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Rodenstock Slit Lamp
