Warnings and Cautions

WARNING: DO NOT use a converter
adapter that will convert the three-prong
AC plug to a two-prong line plug. The
power supply in the colposcope will not
be properly grounded and electric shock
might result.

WARNING: The lamp operates at a high
temperature. DO NOT attempt to remove
the lamp before allowing it to cool. Allow
at least five minutes for the lamp to cool
before replacing.Replace with Welch Allyn
lamp #08100 only.

General Precautions

• For safety, the colposcope should only be coupled to
a grounded 110-120 VAC hospital-grade outlet.

• The colposcope should not be operated in the pres­ence of flammable or explosive gases or chemicals,
or installed in areas where these materials are com­monly used.

• To avoid overheating, the colposcope should not be
positioned closer than 6” to any wall.

• Keep all liquids away from electrical equipment to
avoid the possibility of shock and instrument dam­age.

CAUTION: Federal law restricts this
device to sale by on the or order of a physi­cian or other appropriately licensed medi­cal professional.

CAUTION: The device is for OB/GYN pur­poses only.

Symbols

Caution: Consult user's manual for
additional information.

Warning : High temperatures

Risk of fire. Replace fuses as
marked.

Warning : High-intensity light

Warning : Power supply of unit is

energized whenever power cord is
plugged in.

Dangerous Voltage

• Occasionally inspect the power cord for signs of
cuts, abrasions or dents.

• The colposcope should never be stored or operated
in areas where it could get wet or could be exposed
to any environmental conditions like extreme tem­perature or humidity, direct sunlight, dust, etc.

• The lamp is extremely bright. DO NOT stare directly
into illumination lens when the lamp is lit.

• All service to the video colposcope must be per­formed by Welch Allyn or by an authorized repair cen­ter.

• Colposcope user should adhere to the operating con­ditions found in this manual. Otherwise, instrument
damage may occur and/or operator/patient safety
may be compromised.

• There are no user serviceable parts (other than the
lamp and fuses) in this unit or in its accessories. Any
attempt to disassemble and/or repair this unit will
result in voiding of the warranty.

• Colposcope device to patient distance no closer than
19 cm. Closer distances have higher irradiance levels
and may cause thermal skin injury. Short intermittent
exposures in and out of the illumination path by the
user at closer distances is typical of cervical exami­nations. Prolonged exposures are not recom­mended.

Tilt Stand Assembly

Lay the Tilt Stand so that as the colposcope head is tilted
forward and remains stationary without continuing in a
forward motion.

Align the ball joint to base plate with the four bolts and
washers.

Use the socket wrench provided to tighten the four outer
bolts securely.

The narrow side of the base plate and transformer must
face the operator when in use. The operator should place
his/her feet onto the base plate when using the colpo­scope.

The adjustment knob (A) is used for the gross height
adjustment of the colposcope.

Use the red bolt centered on the bottom of the base
plate for adjusting the tilt friction of the ball joint. Tighten
the red bolt to the desired tilt friction so that the colpo­scope head remains stationary or tilts with moderate
pressure. (Clockwise increases tilt friction, counter-clock­wise decreases tilt friction).

NOTE: Do not overtighten the red bolt.

NOTE: The tilting friction of the ball joint may loosen

with use. Retighten as necessary.
