Not for diagnostic purposes You must not use stored video sequences, video clips (extracted sequences),
single images and live images for diagnostic purposes. Since the video cameras
and monitors have not been calibrated, the visualized video sequences, video
clips and single images may include deviations in scale, color and shape.
Transmission to other monitors, in particular, may change the display of the
images. As a result, incorrect data would be used as a basis for subsequent
treatment and lead to unnecessary or incorrect surgery.
• Make sure that stored video sequences, video clips, single images, and live
images are never used for diagnostic purposes.

During use
•Only use the system after it has been properly balanced.
•Constantly monitor the system during use.
•Excessive radiation exposure times may lead to retinal injury in the patient’s
eye. Never leave the device unattended while its light source is switched on.
•Avoid looking directly into the light source, e.g., into the microscope
objective lens or light guide.
•When the illumination is switched on, there is a risk of fire or you may burn
yourself if the light guide is not connected at both ends.
•Any type of radiation has a damaging effect on biological tissue. This is
also true for the light illumination the surgical field. You should therefore
reduce the brightness and the light exposure time to the absolute
minimum required.
•Phototoxic effect of light beams. When operating on the eye, always use
the retina protection filter (blue barrier filter) installed in the light source
and/or the retina protection device to ensure that the patient’s eye is not
exposed to unnecessary (blue) radiation.
• Adjust the illumination intensity and the resulting radiation exposure time by
selecting the appropriate illumination setting. The values recommended by
ZEISS are located in the table “Maximum radiation exposure times” on
Page 20. Deviations from these values must be medically justified and are the
sole responsibility of the surgeon.
•Cables which are not appropriately routed may lead to an increased risk
of tripping during operation of the system. Always route cables so that
they do not hinder the user.
After every use
•Use the main power switch to switch off the system.
•The main power switch must always be off when the system is not in use.

Measures to prevent phototoxic injury
Several papers1)-5) dealing with the problem of phototoxicity in ophthalmic
surgery have been published. A comprehensive review of these publications
reveals five aspects of particular concern:
– Illumination characteristics (spectral composition)
– Illumination intensity
– Angle of illumination
– Focus of the light source
– Exposure time to light
In the following, comments on these aspects are given and a description of
how ZEISS, as a manufacturer, makes allowance for them in its systems.
Illumination characteristics (spectral composition)
Studies on exposing the eye to light with varying spectral compositions have
been conducted since as early as the 1950s. These studies suggest that the
potential hazard of phototoxic injury to the patient’s retina can be reduced by
blocking out the blue and ultraviolet light below a wavelength of 475 nm.
Integrated protection filters For protection of the retina, ZEISS offers the swing-in retina protection filter
(blue barrier filter) and the stationary UV blocking filter as standard features
of the surgical microscope. This reduces not only the exposure of the patient’s
eye to light, but also that of the surgeon.
An important point to note here, however, is that the use of filters will
inevitably change the perceived color of the light. For this reason, the surgeon
may initially have to get used to the changed appearance of the anatomical
structures.

Version 8.0
G-30-1720-en Page 17
OPMI Lumera i Safety measures
Illumination intensity
The majority of researchers suggest that the surgeon should use the lowest
light intensity required at the patient’s eye to guarantee good viewing during
surgery.
Brightness control ZEISS has addressed this aspect by providing its devices with a feature for
continuously varying the brightness of the light source. This permits the
surgeon to optimally adapt the light intensity at the patient’s eye to the
conditions existing in each case.
Angle of illumination
Several publications1)-4) suggest tilting the microscope to reduce the exposure
of the macula to direct illumination.
Tilting mechanism The surgical microscope features a tilting mechanism for the main microscope
to enable indirect illumination.
Focus of the light source
Studies show that injuries are likely to occur if the filament of the light source is
imaged on the patient’s retina. The peak intensity of a filament is considerably
higher than that of an even and extended light source such as a light guide.
Fiber optic illumination For this reason, ZEISS uses fiber optic illumination in its surgical microscope
systems.

Safety measures OPMI Lumera i
Version 8.0
Page 18 G-30-1720-en
Exposure time to light
According to some publications, the eye should not be exposed to the light
source longer than a few minutes. In all surgical cases, the retinal exposure time
to light depends on the type and duration of the procedure and possible case
complications. It is therefore recommended in ophthalmic surgery to keep the
light intensity as low as possible, or to use a device which prevents the light from
entering the patient’s pupil. It is also recommended to make sure that the
patient’s eye is not additionally exposed to the light of surrounding light sources.
This problem has been solved by ZEISS by the use of a swing-in retina protection
filter (blue barrier filter) that can be swung into the microscope’s illumination
beam path.
Brightness setting The brightness control scale of the ZEISS systems has a linear structure with
values ranging from 5% to 100%. The stipulations of standard DIN EN ISO
15004-2:2007 result in maximum radiation exposure times for the different
illumination configurations as specified in the table “Maximum radiation
exposure times” (see Page 20).
The maximum brightness of the lamps decreases in the course of time as
a result of normal wear.
Phototoxic risk factors The microscope light source—like any bright light source—may present a
potential hazard to the patient’s eye both in the form of immediately visible
thermal damage to the retina as well as phototoxic chemical reactions which
may lead to photoretinitis. The factors which play an important role in
determining the phototoxic risk are:
– Lamp brightness
– Spectral distribution of the light (UV and blue light are more dangerous
than longer wavelengths)
– Duration of direct exposure
– Pupil size
– Clarity of ocular media (infants and young children, for example, may be
at a higher risk)
– Condition of the eye: aphakic and pseudo-aphakic eyes with IOLs of
amaterial without UV/blue filter are at a higher risk.
– Previous exposure to bright light such as retinal photography, especially
within the last 24 hours

Version 8.0
G-30-1720-en Page 19
OPMI Lumera i Safety measures
During cataract procedures, factors such as lenticular material, instruments
such as the phaco handpiece, and movement of the eye provide interruption
of the exposure This is expected to significantly lengthen the time before
photoretinitis might be expected to occur.
Effects of microscope
illumination
A prospective study7) of the effects of microscope illumination during surgery
did not reveal any phototoxic retinal injuries for procedure times of up to
30 minutes if the calculated maximum recommended exposure time was
150 seconds. However, it was also found that at the same brightness setting,
phototoxic retinal injury could be expected after approximately 100 min.
Stereo Coaxial Illumination The Stereo Coaxial Illumination (SCI) of this system has been designed to
provide a bright red reflex using only very small quantities of light in the center
of the surgical field. The peripheral illumination causes higher exposure of the
retina, but, depending on the position of the eye, usually not the macula
directly. For cataract procedures, ZEISS recommends adjusting the surrounding
field illumination to be somewhat darker than the central red reflex spot.
Not only does this setting minimize phototoxic risk but it also reduces glare
from the patient’s sclera.
Other recommendations for minimizing the phototoxic risk are:
• Always use the lowest brightness setting possible.
• Use the retina protective filter (blue barrier filter) to block the blue spectrum
of light. The retina protection filter increases the recommended exposure
times by a factor of 3.
• When working on the exterior eye, use the retina protection device to
prevent light from entering the pupil, especially when the pupil is dilated
(see Page 38).
• Always switch off the microscope illumination during pauses in surgery.
Either move the surgical microscope to the standby position for this
purpose or cover the patient’s eyes.
Maximum radiation exposure The following table is intended to provide the surgeon with a guideline in
determining the potential hazard. The data has been calculated for the worst
case scenario:
– direct radiation exposure,
– uninterrupted radiation exposure, e.g., no surgical instruments in the eye,
–aphakiceye,

Safety measures OPMI Lumera i
Version 8.0
Page 20 G-30-1720-en
– totally immobile eye, which means that only one area is subject to exposure,
– pupil dilated to 8 mm.
The calculations are based on the daily exposure limits recommended for
occupational safety as defined in6). A safety factor of 10 has been used in
determining these limits.
The use of the blue barrier filter increases the recommended exposure time by
a factor of 3 compared with the values specified below.
