1.0 User Information

Intended Use

The Nuvo Surgical Light is intended to provide a field of illumination in surgical,
diagnosis or treatment applications. The single light head configuration is intended for
minor surgical, diagnosis, and/or treatment applications and may be used in the situation
where the treatment or procedure can be interrupted. The dual and triple light head
configurations may be used in operating rooms for all surgical applications and where a
fail safe condition is required; alternatively, two singles, or a dual plus a single, are often
installed.

Introduction

This manual provides the information required for normal operation of the Nuvo Surgical
Light from Nuvo. Before operating the Nuvo Surgical Light, be sure that you have read
and understood in detail the contents of this manual. It is important that you read and
strictly adhere to the aspects of safety contained in this manual.

Product Overview

Positioning

The Nuvo Surgical Light provides the surgeon with a suspension system that is perfectly
balanced and can be guided effortlessly into any position.

The upper and lower suspension arms can rotate continuously around the ceiling mount.
The longer upper arm allows both arms to be positioned independently without
interfering with one another.

The counterbalance arms also rotate continuously around their vertical extensions. These
extension pieces are custom sized according to the ceiling height, assuring adequate head
clearance.

The yoke assembly, which holds the light head, turns continuously around the end of the
counterbalance arm. The light head pivots 320° inside the arms of the yoke.

The combination of these individual elements allows medical personnel to move the light
freely into an infinite variety of positions using only slight pressure on the Sterile Handle
Control. Once positioned, the system remains stable, without drifting, allowing focus to
remain where it belongs...on the patient.

Illumination Performance

• The Sterile Handle Control gives the user full command of the Nuvo Surgical Light.
Positioning, intensity, and pattern size can all be easily controlled from inside the sterile
field. A second set of intensity controls is conveniently located on a wall mounted panel.

• The Nuvo Surgical Light’s compact, 23" (58.4 cm) diameter light head combination
provides color-correct, shadow free illumination well suited to a wide variety of
procedures.

• The perfectly-honed inner reflective surface of the light head features 1890 reflective
facets computer designed for maximum light intensity and shadow reduction.

• With the generation of so many individual light rays, a large percentage of the projected

light can be blocked before any shadow is evident.

• Deep cavity illumination negates the need to refocus midway through a procedure. The

minimum depth of field, without refocusing, is 20" (50.8 cm).

• Each light head delivers 137,000 lux (12700 foot candles) and the color temperature of
the lamp has been optimized at 4300°K to ensure the color clarity of the surgical site.

• The use of a custom designed IR filter reduces emitted IR to a 3.8 μW/cm2fc average.

This low heat output ensures maximum comfort during long procedures.

Easy Maintenance Features

Backup Lighting and Bulb Replacement

To assure that the Nuvo Surgical Light will offer peak performance on demand, each
Light head is equipped with two bulbs. In the event that the primary bulb burns out
during normal operation, the backup will take over immediately. The changeover
happens so quickly that it is transparent to the user.
The quartz tungsten-halogen bulbs employed in the lamp provide as many as 1000 hours
of uninterrupted light before they need to be replaced. Spare bulbs are conveniently
housed in the wall control box. When necessary, fast, simple bulb replacement can be
accomplished in minutes between cases and without the need for special tools.

Cleaning and Sterilization

Special attention has been given to the aesthetics of the Nuvo Surgical Light. The
smooth, clean lines are visually appealing and aid in the prevention of dust particle build­up. Enhanced streamlining greatly reduces air turbulence over the surgical field.
The Sterile Handle Control is compatible with a wide range of sterile covers. It can also
be easily removed for steam sterilization or cold sterilization.

Instructions for Use

WARNING:

Do not operate the light if the glass filter is broken or removed. Operation without
the glass filter or with a broken glass filter could cause high levels of ultraviolet
and infrared radiation resulting in injury to the patient or user.

To identify a broken glass filter, inspect for the following:

1. Changes in the light pattern.

2. Loose particles under the lens.

3. Rattling noise when moving the light.

WARNING:

Not for use in areas of explosion hazard. This apparatus is neither approved nor
certified for use in areas where combustible or explosive gas mixtures are likely
to occur.

The light can be turned on or off by the use of the push button located at the center of the
sterilizable handle, or by the push button mounted on the wall control unit (both operate
in the same order). The push button on the sterilizable handle overrides the wall control
unit, thereby enabling medical personnel to operate the light in the general vicinity of the
sterile area.
The push button turns the light ON/OFF, and also controls the intensity level of the light.

When the light is turned on, LED’s located on the side of the sterile handle collar, and on

the wall control, illuminates to indicate the intensity level.

SIM-S2Z0001 Rev 05 Effective Date 10/25/09

- 11 -

To Turn ON:

Push the button in once, and release. The blue LED’s located on the side of the handle

collar, and on the wall control, illuminate to indicate the intensity level.

NOTE:

After a power outage, the light automatically comes on at the intensity level that it was at
when the power was disconnected.

To Decrease/Increase Brightness Intensity:

Push the button in once, and release. Each time the button is pushed, the level of intensity
is decreased, until only one blue LED is illuminated. The brightness intensity goes back
to full intensity if the button is pushed and released again.

NOTE:

If the button is depressed and held for three seconds, the light goes off.

or chlorine as these may lead to premature aging of the lens.

Sterilization: Sterilization can be accomplished by using any FDA approved sterile liquid (USA only).
In areas outside the USA, individual facility policies addressing the use of sterile liquids should be
employed.

Sterilizable Handle

After every surgical operation:

• Remove the handle from the light head

• Wipe with a disposable cloth

• Clean and disinfect in a suitable cleaning and disinfecting machine

• Sterilize the handle

The sterilizable handle can be sterilized three ways:

• Cold by using cleaners recommended for hospitals and authorized by a competent health authority.

2.1 Check the Ceiling Structure

Ceiling Bearing Strength
The medical facility is required to supply a ceiling structure that is capable of sustaining the load
requirements for the contractor installed lighting system. To accomplish this, it may be necessary to
contract with an architect and certify that the Nuvo Surgical Light can be installed safely. The
following table shows calculated worst case load conditions for mounting single, dual, and triple
lighthead configurations. Worst case is defined as having all arm, monitor, and lighthead assemblies on
the same side of the ceiling plate with the lightheads fully extended from the ceiling plate. Improper
installation could result in personal injury or equipment damage. The contractor-installed ceiling
structure and mounting studs must be capable of supporting the following moment loads and vertical
weights (see figure 2.1.1and table 2.1.1):

Ceiling control / Transformer Box

Monitor Controls

Light Control

Camera Control

Select a suitable location to mount the Ceiling Control Box (if not installed previously) within 50 feet
(15.24 meters) of the Nuvo Surgical Light. The selected location should provide room for a technician
to be able to remove the cover and access the voltage adjustment.
Typical locations include:

 above the ceiling next to an access panel,
 above the ceiling next to a removable lighting fixture,
 above the ceiling of an adjacent hallway with removable panels,
 in an electrical cabinet on the wall either inside or adjacent to the OR

The control box for single and dual lights measures 8½"(22 cm) x 16"(41 cm), and for a triple light
8½"(22 cm) x 21 ¼(54 cm). Sufficient room above the box is required to remove the cover and adjust
the voltage. A total height of at least 18" is preferred.

If the ceiling control / transformer box is to be located more than 4’ (four feet) from the mounted light
hub, an extension cable must be ordered. These extension cables are available in 6’, 12’, 18’, 25’ and

48’ lengths.

Wall Control Box

The wall control box measures 10" x 10 1/2"(25.4 cm x 26.7 cm) square and is 1 3/4"(4.4 cm) deep. It
connects to a standard two gang 4"(10.2 cm) x 4"(10.2 cm) back box recessed into the wall at

approximately 60” from the floor. A location where this control will be readily accessible to the

circulating nurse should be selected. The wiring harness (35′ 10.67 meters Standard), (50′ 15.24 meters

optional) is then routed from the wall box to the ceiling control box.

Single, dual, or triple light configurations can be operated from a single wall control box. The wall
control contains a discrete set of controls for each lighthead in the configuration. Each is numbered to
correspond to the labels on the suspension arms.

3.0 Preventive Maintenance

Semi-annual preventive maintenance must be performed by Nuvo personnel to ensure all features are
functioning as originally designed.
Particular attention must be focused on safety features, including but not limited to:

• Lens cleanliness

• Spring force (position force)

• Thumbscrew tightness

• IR filter glass condition

• O-ring integrity

Operational Check

1. Do an operational check of each of the Nuvo Surgical Lights as follows:

a. Push the Hand Control button (on the base of the sterilizable handle) once. The Nuvo

Surgical Light comes on at full intensity, and all five blue LEDs and the lamp indicator
illuminate.

b. Push the Hand Control button again. The light intensity level decreases and one blue LED

goes off every time the button is pushed.

c. Continue cycling the Hand Control button until the light intensity level cycles back to full

intensity, and all five blue LEDs are illuminated.

d. Rotate the Hand Control clockwise to enlarge the light pattern diameter.
e. Rotate the Hand Control counter clockwise to reduce the light pattern diameter.
f. Push the Hand Control button, and hold in for 3 seconds. The Nuvo Surgical Light and all

five LEDs go off.

g. Repeat, as required, for each lighthead.

Operational Check

2. Continue the operational check of the Nuvo Surgical Light as follows:

NOTE:

Less than 4.5 lb (20 N) force, applied to the sterilizable handle is sufficient to move the lighthead
assembly, counterbalance arm assembly, and suspension arm assembly.

a. Pivot the lighthead /yoke assemblies (D) ( figure 14) through the full range of motion. The

lighthead assemblies move quietly and smoothly, without drifting.

b. Raise and lower the counterbalance arm assemblies (C) through the full range of motion.
c. Rotate the suspension arm assemblies (A) 360° through the full range of motion.

3. If the Nuvo Surgical Light fails any of the tests, or requires any type of adjustments, perform

troubleshooting or adjustments in accordance with the service manual.

SIM-S2Z0001 Rev 05 Effective Date 10/25/09

- 42 -

4.0 Post-Installation Inspection

1. The installing contractor shall remove all fingerprints and smudges from all exposed surfaces in

accordance with general cleaning procedures.

2. Remove the white tape that covers the joint on each light counterbalance arm.

3. The installing contractor is responsible for checking out the entire installation for proper

operation after hook-up and installation of the Nuvo Surgical Light.

5.0 Maintenance

The lighthead rotates 320° within the yoke and the yoke assemblies rotate 360° continuously. The
interior of the lighthead assemblies is designed to optimize the angle of the light. This reduces
shadowing and delivers cleanly defined color-correct light.

The counterbalance arm assemblies rotate 15° above horizontal and 90° below horizontal at the clevis.

The clevis assembly provides a brake to prevent “free wheeling” of the counterbalance arm and to

provide “touch type motion control.”

The suspension arm assemblies rotate 360° continuously. They differ in length to permit passing
without interference. The vertical tubes rotate 360° continuously and are custom sized to a specific
ceiling height ensuring adequate head clearance.

The wall-control panel provides an additional on/off and intensity control as well as an indicator to
relamp damaged bulbs. Spare bulbs can also be stored in the upper housing compartment. An
individual control box supplies 22.7V AC and 9VDC power to each Nuvo Surgical Light and 9V DC
power to each wall control panel P.C. board.

System Features

The Nuvo Surgical Light features include:

 Suspension arms rotate 360° continuous, clockwise, and counterclockwise
 Lightheads rotate 320° within the yoke
 Yokes rotate 360° continuous, clockwise, and counterclockwise about the

counterbalance arm

 Counterbalance arms rotate 15° above horizontal and 90° below horizontal
 Lamp control assembly
 Light control inside sterile field
 Computer modeled reflector
 Shadow-free illumination
 Excellent color rendition
 Low heat output
 Back-up lighting
 Spare bulb storage in wall control box
 Easy to clean and sterilize
