Instrument Set

Use, Care and Maintenance

Thank you for choosing an ADC® Diagnostc Instrument Set. We’re proud of the care and quality that
goes into the manufacture of each and every diagnostic instrument that bears our name. Every com­ponent has been carefully designed to maximize performance. (For item 5212, also used in 5210,
5215, 5211, 5211V)

Device Description and Intended Use

The ophthalmoscope is a handheld, battery-powered device containing illumination and viewing op­tics intended to examine the media (cornea, aqueous, lens, and vitreous) and the retina of the eye. It
is intended to be used by a trained healthcare professional.

Otoscope Attachment (5210 and 5215) - The otoscope is a handheld battery powered device with
magnifying system that provides illumination of the ear canal and tympanic membrane.

Nasal Speculum Adapter for Otoscope Attachment (5215 only) - When using the otoscope attach­ment with a nasal speculum adapter, the device allows for direct examination of the nares while main­taining a line of sight.

Bent Arm Illuminator (5215 only) - The bent arm illuminator is a handheld light that can be used to il­luminate a patient’s mouth and upper throat during an examination. The bent arm illuminator is a
non-invasive light source designed to facilitate the examination of the oropharynx area. It can also be
used to assist in assessing papillary light response and for transillumination of the sinuses. When
used with laryngeal mirrors, it allows for non invasive, indirect visualization of the hypopharynx.

Latex Statement - This device and all accessories are latex free.

This device should be used by a trained healthcare professional.

Contraindications

The use of this device is contraindicated in patients who have already received prolonged or intense
light exposure, especially if the patients are infants, aphakes, or persons with diseased eyes. Exces­sive exposure to light may result in patient injury. See warnings for additional information.
General Warnings
A warning statement in this manual identifies a condition or practice which, if not corrected or dis­continued immediately, could lead to patient injury, illness, or death.
CAUTION: Because prolonged intense light exposure can damage the retina, the use of the device for
ocular examination should not be unnecessarily prolonged, and the brightness setting should not ex­ceed what is needed to provide clear visualization of the target structures.
The retinal exposure dose for a photochemical hazard is a product of the radiance and the expo­sure time. If the value of radiance were reduced in half, twice the time would be needed to reach the
maximum exposure limit.

While no acute optical radiation hazards have been identified for direct or indirect ophthalmo­scopes, it is recommended that the intensity of light directed into the patient's eye be limited to the
minimum level which is necessary for diagnosis. Infants, aphakes and persons with diseased eyes will
be at greater risk. The risk may also be increased if the person being examined has had any exposure
with the same instrument or any other ophthalmic instrument using a visible light source during the
previous 24 hours. This will apply particularly if the eye has been exposed to retinal photography.

Cleaning, Disinfection, and Drying

Note: Prior to performing any cleaning or disinfection of your device, be sure to remove the batteries
from the handles. Do not re-insert the batteries without first consulting the ‘drying’ section below.

The cleaning and disinfection procedures outlined below are the only methods validated for this de­vice. ADC does not recommend the use of ultrasonic cleaning equipment, automated washers/disin­fectors, autoclave devices, or other cleaning methods not specified below. These alternate
cleaning/disinfecting methods have not been validated with ADC’s devices and may cause damage or
corrosion to your medical device.

All devices and accessories (excluding disposable specula) should be thoroughly cleaned and disin­fected prior to their first use. Devices and accessories being sent for repair or servicing must also be
disinfected prior to shipping.

OUTLINE OF PROPER CLEANING/DISINFECTION:

In order to achieve proper cleaning and high level disinfection of your device, you must perform the

following steps in the following order:

1) Select and perform one cleaning procedure based on the components/accessories you are
attempting to clean and disinfect.

2) Select and perform one high level disinfection procedure based on the components/acces­sories you are attempting to disinfect.

3) Allow the components/accessories to dry as per the drying section of these instructions.
Failure to perform a cleaning process prior to disinfection can result in contaminated equipment
and devices.
Cleaning Procedure for Battery Handles, Otoscope and Ophthalmoscope Heads
Prepare a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution and soak a lint-free sterile cloth. Wipe down the exterior
of the battery handle, otoscope head, and ophthalmoscope head. Care should be taken to prevent
excess liquid from seeping into the devices.

Isopropyl alcohol may be substituted with commonly used hospital disinfectant wipes for clean­ing purposes if desired. Please refer to the directions provided by the manufacturer of the wipes for
appropriate contact time to ensure effective cleaning and low-level disinfection.

Care must be taken during cleaning to avoid contacting the magnifying lenses on the otoscope
or ophthalmoscope head with any cleaning solution. Solution residue may decrease device per­formance. The lenses of the instrument heads may be cleaned with a lint-free cloth or lens paper.

Cleaning Procedure for Bent Arm Illuminator, Otoscope Accessories (Including: Welch
Allyn Specula Adapter, Reusable Specula, Nasal Specula), and Bent Arm Illuminator Ac­cessories (Including Laryngeal Mirrors, Tongue blade, and Tongue blade holder).

Prepare Enzol®, or equivalent enzymatic cleaning solution as per manufacturer’s instructions and
soak for ten minutes. (Enzol® is typically prepared at one ounce of product per gallon of water or
two ounces of product per gallon of water for cleaning devices with dried-on matter. Enzol® will
not be effective unless the soaking process is a minimum of one minute long, although ten minutes
is recommended. For devices with dried on matter, manual cleaning may be necessary to fully re­move all contaminants and material.) Cleaning solution may be substituted for a 70% isopropyl al­cohol solution. Rinse accessories with lukewarm running tap water for one minute to remove any
residual solution after cleaning. Dry with a clean, lint free cloth.
Note: Always allow components to completely dry before disinfection or use. Do not reuse acces­sories between patients without proceeding with high level disinfection instructions outlined in this
manual.
Note: When cleaning the Bent Arm Illuminator, the lamp should not be removed during the cleaning
process.

High Level Disinfection for Battery Handles, Otoscope heads, Otoscope Accessories (In­cluding: Welch Allyn Specula Adapter, Reusable Specula, Nasal Specula); Bent Arm Illu­minator, and Bent Arm Illuminator Accessories (Including: Laryngeal Mirrors, Tongue
Blade, and Tongue Blade Holder).

To achieve high level disinfection, a 2.4% glutaraldehyde solution (Cidex Activated Dialdehyde So­lution® or equivalent) must be prepared at 25°C to the manufacturer’s instructions. All accessories
must be detached from the otoscope head or bent arm illuminator and disinfected separately. The
lamp should not be removed from the bent arm illuminator or otoscope head during the disinfec-

tion process. Batteries must be removed from battery handles and the end caps must be removed
and disinfected as separate components along with the main portion of the handle. Lenses must be
removed from otoscope heads during high level disinfection and drying. The accessories should be
fully immersed in the disinfectant for a minimum of 45 minutes. No air bubbles should be visible on
the immersed accessories during this soak time. The accessories should then be removed from the
disinfectant and immersed in purified water to rinse off all disinfectant. Immersion should be for a
minimum of one minute and the process should be repeated two additional times using fresh puri­fied water each time. Once rinsing is complete, the accessories should be thoroughly dried using a
sterile, lint-free cloth.
Note: Always allow accessories to completely dry before use.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before using a Cidex® Activated Dialdehyde Solution® for high level disin-
fection, a Cidex® test strip should be used to ensure that the solution concentration is minimally ef­fective. Consult with the Cidex® Activated Dialdehyde Solution® user instructions, as well as the
original equipment manufacturer’s instructions for the Cidex® test strips, for guidance prior to use.

Disposable Specula Cleaning/Disinfection Instructions

Disposable specula should not be cleaned or disinfected in any way. Disposable specula are single
patient use only and must be discarded after use. Disposable specula should not be used if they ap­pear to be visibly contaminated or have accidentally come into contact with contaminated materials
prior to use.

Drying

All devices and components must be thoroughly dried prior to battery insertion or use in accor­dance with the instructions specified in this section. Components and devices should be allowed to
dry for a minimum of two hours to ensure that all moisture has been eliminated prior to reinsertion
of batteries.

Battery handles must be given a visual inspection for corrosion or damage prior to the reinser­tion of batteries. Check for damaged, corroded, or discolored parts within the battery compartment.
Any handles showing signs of damage from cleaning and disinfection should not be used and must
be serviced.
