Surgical lighting systems - XLED
[5]
! Warning: This device cannot be modified without the manufacturer’s authorisation.
! Any serious incident that occurs in relation to this medical device
should be reported to STERIS and the competent authority of the
member state in which the user and/or patient is established.
Operation
! Light is an energy that can potentially dry out tissue dryness. The user should adapt the
lighting level to the needs of the procedure carried out, particularly in the case of the use of a
combination of multiple projectors.
! In case of combination of multiple projectors, the utraviolet radiation can exceed the autorized
levels. The user should adapt the quantity of projectors used to the needs of procedure carried
out.
! Do not look directly at the light source, given its high intensity and the blue light in the LED.
! Surgical interventions in the face with unprotected open eyes may result in damages to the
eyes. The eyes of the patients must therefore be closed or protected during procedures.
! During the procedure, only the surgical team may touch the sterilizable handle, in order to
ensure sterility.
! Do not use the light suspension to carry or lift objects. Do not hang from the light.
! Do not use the wall-mounted power supply units for storage.
! XLED® lights are not intended for up-lighting. Do not tilt the lights upside down.
! Do not press the touch screens and the keypad with too much force using unsuitable objects.
! In some configurations, due to the presence of several hinges on the suspensions, there is a
risk of fingers being caught. Avoid placing hands near the hinges and move the extension arms
with caution.
! Avoid handling the suspensions roughly, particularly excessive shocks against the stops. The
stops are only end of travel components. Take care of the risks of collisions with surrounded
equipments when moving the extension arms.
! Avoid handling the camera handles roughly during installation, operation or removal. When
installing or removing the video camera, be careful to place it in a secure location to prevent
it from rolling, dropping and breaking. Also, to avoid scratching the lens surface, do not stand
camera up with lens side facing down.
! Do not bump the lighthead into walls or other equipment. Always use handles when positioning
the lighthead during surgical procedures, or when cleaning or servicing the XLED® surgical
lighting systems.
Installation
! Installation and integration operations should only be assigned to STERIS technicians or
qualified technicians and should be carried out according to the installation instructions
prepared by STERIS..
To view the technical description of XLED® lights, contact the STERIS-approved after-sales
support department.
! XLED® surgical light shall be considered minor surgical light. It means that XLED® surgical
lights shall mandatory be installed in operating fields with at least a combination of two
surgical lights, in order to create a surgical lighting system. This combination is fail safe, as
a minimum illuminance will be always provided to the operating area in case of single fault
condition of surgical light.
! The lighting systems should not be installed in areas subject to an explosive risk (presence of
flammable anaesthetic gases).
! XLED® surgical lighting system may not be used in the vicinity of strong magnetic fields (MRI
environment)
! XLED® surgical lights are not intented to operate in an oxygen rich-environment.
! To prevent any risk of electric shock, this appliance should only be connected to an earthed
power supply system.
! Disconnect all utilities to the surgical light before servicing. Do not install the XLED® surgical
lighting unless all utilities have been properly locked out.
! The manufacturer warranty is subject to the use of the recommended power supplies.
! It is recommended to install a wall mounted unit control when a single surgical light is installed
in the room.
! One disconnect device accessible to operator and which have mains indicator, must be
provided during the installation.
Battery backup option operation
! As required, the power supplies can be fitted out to receive the operating suite 24V⎓ backup
system.
! In the event of a mains failure, only lights with power supplies connected to a backup power
supply system will remain operational for at least 1 hour.
Maintenance
! The safety, reliability and proper operation of the lighting system can only be ascertained and
guaranteed by STERIS. Repairs or adjustments should only be assigned to STERIS technicians
or approved technicians.
! Dismantling some sub-assemblies may impact operation and safety. For example:
-In the case of a procedure on the electrical power supply,
-In the case of a procedure on the suspension arms and the balancing system
! Observe the maintenance schedules set out by STERIS and described in this document.
! Never try to adjust the suspension yourself.
! During maintenance and repair, only original parts must be used.
! No interventions may be undertaken on XLED® surgical lighting system before all electrical
power is switched off and the supplies made safe.
! No part of XLED® surgical lighting system shall be serviced or maintained while in use with a
patient.
Cleaning / disinfection / Sterilization
! Check that power to the XLED® surgical light is OFF before cleaning
! Do not attempt to clean the lighthead unless lighthead has cooled sufficiently.
! Avoid infiltration of liquids inside the lighthead or the wall-mounted control panel. This type of
infiltration is liable to affect or damage the lighting system.
! Do not use any products based on chlorine or its derivatives, because this might cause
excessive corrosion.
! Do not dismantle the suspension components (spring arms, lighthead yoke) during cleaning
procedures. Only qualified STERIS maintenance personnel are authorised to dismantle these
components.
! To ensure satisfactory Sterilization, take care not to allow any dirt to penetrate inside the
handle.
! After each Sterilization and before each additional use of the sterilizable handle:
-Check that there is no cracking and that the latch works.
-Replace the handle if it shows crack or deformation.
-Refit the handle in the light and lock by turning (click).
! Sterilizable handles should be disposed of in a similar manner to that of other hazardous
hospital waste.
! After application of disposable sterile handle, inspect it for barrier integrity; in order to detect
any split or any tear that can lead to a breach in the sterility barre
Environmental conditions
• Transport / storage: temperature 0°C-65°C, humidity 10-85% non-condensing, pressure
500 to 1060hPa, do not store outside
• Operation: temperature 10°C-40°C, humidity 10-75%, pressure 800 to 1060hPa.
! XLED® surgical system is not intented for outdoor use, and shall not be exposed to high
humidity for extented periods.
Electrical safety
! The ON/OFF switch of the power supply (see section 7) only removes power from the load
side of the system. Any system wiring located between the switch and the facilities of the
healthcare center is still energized. The disconnection of the complete system before servicing
must be carried out with a circuit breaker positionned upstream from the power supply and
from the backup unit.
! The OFF position of the local light control (keypad) and of the wall mounted light control (see
section 7) turns off control to camera and lightheads, but the XLED® surgical system is still
energized. This mode is referred to as standby. It is necessary to press the keypad or the touch
screen to ensure that the system is powered or not and ready to be used.
