Warnings and Cautions

Familiarize all operating personnel with the general safety information in this summary.
Specific warnings and cautions are also found throughout this manual.

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.

WARNING Users of this equipment should be thoroughly trained in the
appropriate medical procedures. Furthermore, they should take the time to
read and understand these instructions before performing any procedure. They
should also read and understand the instructions for any other equipment used in
conjunction with the Video Colposcope (i.e. electrosurgical generators). Failure to
do so may result in injury to the patient and/or damage to the Video Colposcope.

WARNING The Video Colposcope should not be operated in the presence of
flammable or explosive gases (i.e., anesthetics) or chemicals, or installed in areas
where these materials are commonly used.

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

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

WARNING Video 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.

WARNING All signal input and output (I/O) connectors are intended for
connection to only peripheral devices (example: monitor, video printer, VCR, PC,
DV Converter) that are in compliance with IEC 60601-1 (General Requirements
for Safety, Medical Electrical Equipment) or other IEC standards (for example
IEC 60950, Information Technology Equipment – Safety) as appropriate to the
nature of the peripheral device. Connecting additional peripherals to the Video
Colposcope may increase the risk associated with chassis or patient leakage
currents. To maintain operator and patient safety, the User should consider
the system leakage current requirements of IEC 60601-1-1 (Medical Electrical
Equipment, Safety Requirements for Medical Electrical Systems). The user
should measure leakage currents accordingly to confirm that no electric shock
hazard exists. An isolation transformer that is in compliance with IEC 60601-1
used to power the additional peripherals may be used to control the system
leakage current to comply with the requirements of IEC 60601-1-1.

WARNING If peripheral devices (example: monitor, video printer, VCR ,other)
do not comply with IEC 60601-1-1 (Medical Electrical Equipment, Safety
Requirements for Medical Electrical systems), they must be kept out of the
patient area (6 feet minimum from patient).

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 Video Colposcope will
not be properly grounded and electric shock might result.

Directions for Use Introduction 7

WARNING For safety, the Video Colposcope should only be coupled to a
grounded 110–120 VAC hospital-grade outlet (220–240 volt, 50 cycle
international).

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 #09800-U only.

Cautions

A caution statement in this manual identifies a condition or practice, which if not
corrected or discontinued immediately, could lead to equipment failure, equipment
damage, or data loss.

Caution Federal law restricts sale of this device to, or to the order of, a
physician or other appropriately licensed medical professional.

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

where it could get wet or could be exposed to any environmental conditions like
extreme temperature or humidity, direct sunlight, dust, etc.

Caution All service to the Video Colposcope must be performed by Welch Allyn
or by an authorized repair center.

Caution There are no user servicable 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.

Caution The Video Colposcope is cooled via a fan located in the back of the
unit. The fan draws air in from beneath the Video Colposcope and exhausts the
air out the back of the Video Colposcope. To avoid overheating, verify that the
unit is no less than 6" from a wall.

Caution Do not clean illumination lens with alcohol. Do not touch optical or
illumination lenses except as described in Maintenance section of this manual.

General Precautions

Make sure the unit is always grounded and secure during use. Do not disable power cord
ground connection. Grounding reliability is achieved only when power cord is connected to
a hospital-grade receptacle. Inspect the electrical plug and cord routinely. Do not use if
damaged. Do not use the Video Colposcope in the presence of any flammable anesthetics.

Do not open the Video Colposcope housing. An electrical shock hazard exists due to high
voltage. There are no user serviceable parts inside the Video Colposcope, except the lamp.

Opening of the Video Colposcope housing by an unauthorized repair facility will
void the product warranty.

WARNING If peripheral devices (example: monitor, video printer, VCR ,other) do
not comply with IEC 60601-1-1, they must be kept out of the patient area (6 feet
minimum from patient).

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 Video Colposcope will
not be properly grounded and electric shock might result.

Video Colposcope

Before initial set up of the Video Colposcope, check all components received against the
parts list of components (see Components section of this manual) to verify a complete
set. If parts are missing, please notify Welch Allyn. Review the Nomenclature, Preparation
for Use, Operation, and Maintenance sections to become familiar with the equipment.

Caution The Video Colposcope is cooled via a vent fan located in the back of
the unit. The fan draws air in from beneath the Video Colposcope and exhausts
the air out the back of the Video Colposcope. To avoid overheating, verify that the
unit is no less than 6" from a wall.

Caution The colposcope can be damaged if the unit is transported while
holding the handle. The unit should be transported by grasping the pole.

Operation

Power Switch

With the power cord connected to a properly grounded outlet, and the S-video cable
connected to the Video Colposcope and monitor, activate the power switch on the handle
of the Video Colposcope.

Lamp Ignition

Once the Video Colposcope’s power switch has been activated, the lamp will ignite.
The lamp requires approximately 11 seconds to warm up.

Focus and Zoom Controls

Once the power switch has been activated, the Video Colposcope will execute a setup
procedure, ending in the low magnification setting, or 4.5x. To obtain coarse focus,
position the distal end of the Video Colposcope approximately 300 mm (12") from the
target. Adjust the Video Colposcope by moving the stand (for vertical stand), or the arm
(for the swing arm stand), until the picture is in focus. Press the + on one of the zoom
controls until maximum magnification is obtained, and readjust the position of the stand
or the swing arm until the picture is in focus. Fine focus, in either direction, is provided
by the focus controls once coarse focus has been achieved. After coarse focus is
achieved at maximum magnification, zoom control can be set to a desired lower
magnification by pressing either zoom control. Focus will be maintained throughout
the entire magnification range once these steps have been completed if the Video
Colposcope or target is not moved.

The setup (nominal) setting of the focus controls can be recovered by pressing
one of the zoom + controls for 4 seconds after maximum magnification has been
achieved.

Mag Index Control

Pressing the scan button on the monitor or activating this menu option sets the
display size to -3% “under” image scan size and alters the size of the image on
the screen, making the magnification index displayed inaccurate. Activating the
button or mem option briefly displays the word “under” on the monitor screen
and a red light displays on the scan button. To change the scan size back to
normal, press the scan button again and the word “over” briefly appears on the
monitor screen. This is the normal setting.

Activate the magnification index button by pressing the blue button located on the
right side of the colposcope (See “Side Views” on page 12.). The Mag Index refers to
magnification relative to a 14" monitor. Deactivate the magnification index by pressing
the mag index control again.

To determine the magnification*, multiply the mag index by the number in the table
below.

DISPLAY DEVICE Sony 14" Monitor, model

LMD1410
NUMBER BY WHICH TO MULTIPLY MAG INDEX 1.0
EXAMPLE: Mag. Index on screen 5
EXAMPLE: Magnification 5

*Magnification is the approximate size of an object displayed on a display device (monitor,
video print, etc.) divided by the actual size of the object.

Green Filter Control

Press the green filter button on the left side of the video colposcope (Figure on page 12)
to activate the electronic green filter. Press the green filter button again to deactive the
filter.

Polarization Filter Control

The Polarization Filter control can be rotated to reduce glare from the image as desired.
The filter is completely engaged (minimum glare) when the control is fully rotated to the
left. The filter can be disengaged by returning the Polarization Filter control to the full right
hand position.

Illumination Beam Director

The illumination beam director can be rotated up to 45° clockwise or counterclockwise to
better illuminate the examination area. To rotate the director, grasp the flat sides and twist
in either direction as desired. The illumination beam director moves with some resistance.
This helps to hold it securely in the desired position. The center position can be recovered
by returning the director to the detent position.

Directions for Use Operation 25

Vertical Height Adjustment Ring (Vertical Colposcope Model Only)

The height of the vertical stand can be adjusted by rotating the black height adjustment
