Concentrated high intensity light energy may result in thermal
injury to the tissue.
The risk of injury is increased under the following conditions:
• Prolonged close stationary illumination of tissue.
• Using a high intensity light source at levels greater than
needed for good visualization.
• Using multiple instruments to illuminate the same area.
The following recommendations will reduce the risk of thermal
injury:
• Use the minimum level of illumination necessary for
adequate visualization.
• When possible, avoid close stationary viewing.
• Minimize exposure time.
WARNING Do not use headlight at distances closer
than 10 inches (25 cm). Tissue damage or erythema may
result.
