Summary of Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: All video monitors and peripheral equipment used with this instrument must be IEC 601-1 (or
UL 2601) listed to comply with medical electrical safety guidelines. If not IEC 601-1(UL-2601) listed, the
monitor/peripheral equipment should be positioned outside of the 6-foot patient contact area.Please contact
Welch Allyn for more information.
WARNING: Total system risk current should not exceed 50µA. An isolation transformer is required if the
total system risk current exceeds 50µA when accessories are interconnected.
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. Verify that the
unit is no less than 6" from a wall.
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.
CAUTION: DO NOT clean illumination lens with alcohol. DO NOT touch optical or illumination lenses
except as described in Maintenance section of this manual.
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
