.
Occasionally inspect the umbilical cord and plug for signs of cuts, abrasions or other damage.
.
The VideoPath Colposcope should never be stored or operated in areas where it could get wet or could be exposed to
any environmental conditions such as extreme temperature or humidity, direct sunlight, dust, etc.
.
The illumination light is extremely bright. DO NOT stare directly into illumination beam director when the Light
Source lamp is lit.
.
All service to the VideoPath Colposcope must be performed by Welch Allyn or by an authorized repair center.
.

Preparation For Use
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 VideoPath Colposcope in the presence of any flammable anesthetics.
Do not open the VideoPath Colposcope housing. An electrical shock hazard exists due to high voltage. There are no user
serviceable parts inside the VideoPath Colposcope.
NOTE: Opening of the VideoPath Colposcope housing by an unauthorized repair facility will void the product warranty.
Assembly of VideoPath Colposcope
Before initial set up of the VideoPath 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

Operation
Power Switch
With the Light Source power cord connected to a properly grounded outlet, the S-Video cable connected to the Light Source
and monitor, and lamps activated, activate the power switch on the handle of the VideoPath Colposcope.
Focus and Zoom Controls
Once the power switch has been activated, the VideopPath Colposcope will execute a setup procedure, ending in the low
magnification setting, or
300 mm from the target. Adjust the VideoPath 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 VideoPath Colposcope or target is not moved.
NOTE: 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.
Green Filter Controls
Activate the electronic green filter by pressing the green button located on either side of the VideoPath Colposcope. Full
activation of the green filter occurs in less than 10 seconds. Deactivated the filter by pressing the green filter button again.
The green filter LED indicator flashes during activation and deactivation and remains on after activation is complete.
4.5x.
To obtain coarse focus, position the distal end of the VideoPath Colposcope approximately
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.
Vertical Height Adjustment Ring (Vertical Colposcope Models
The height of the vertical stand can be adjusted by rotating the black height adjustment ring, located on the pole of the stand,
counterclockwise. Once the ring has been loosened, adjust the pole to the desired height and then tighten the ring again by
rotating it clockwise.
Swing Arm Height Adjustment (Swing Arm Colposcope Models 89100
Adjust the height of the swing arm stand by loosening the height adjustment knob located on the arm of the stand. The swing
arm can then be moved to the desired position. After moving the arm, tighten knob
desired drag can be obtained by adjusting this knob either clockwise or counterclockwise.
Right or Left Positioning of Swing Arm (Swing Arm Colposcope Models 89100
The swing arm of the VideoPath Colposcope can be positioned to the right or left side of the exam table. To alter the position
of the swing arm, pull down the stop pin located under the elbow of the swing arm while rotating the swing arm to the
desired side. Release the stop pin once the desired position is achieved.

Remote Video Functions (for VideoPath Colposcope Models 88110
The handle of the VideoPath Colposcope contains three buttons that control three video functions. These functions, provided
by a remote video printer, are Freeze, Print and Toggle. (See Connection Diagram section of this manual for connecting the
printer to the VideoPath Colposcope.) The VideoPath Colposcope models 88110 and 89110, when used with the VLX-20
Light Source and compatible video printer, have the ability to capture, store and print images. The function controls on the
VideoPath Colposcope interface with the system for convenient control of the Freeze, Copy and Video features. The
