CAUTION
Risk of infection!
X Leave sufficient space around the stand to ensure that
the sterile drape does not come into contact with non-
sterile components.

CAUTION
Risk of overheating of the system!
Covering the air inlet can result in a controlled shutdown of
the system due to overheating.
X Make sure that there is always some space between the
air inlet and the drape.

CAUTION
Damage of the magnification motor!
X Only adjust the magnification manually if the
magnification motor is defective.

CAUTION
Danger to the patient due to changes in the user settings!
X Never change the configuration settings or edit the user
list during an operation.

CAUTION
Risk of injury!
X Pay special attention to the required safety distances if
you use the Combination Mode function together with
accessories from other manufacturers that can reduce
the working distance to less than 140 mm (non-contact
wide-angle observation systems), since focus together
with Combination Mode is a semi-automated function.

CAUTION
Danger of collision!
The surgical microscope can collide with surrounding
components, the ceiling or lamps.
X Check the danger area before moving the swing arm.
X Carefully move the ceiling mount upwards, and observe
ceiling and lamps.

 Functions

5.3 Illumination
The illumination of the surgical microscope PROVEO 8 consists of
two LED modules and are located in the optics carrier.
There are two lamps, main lamp and Red Reflex lamp.

5.4 Fusion Optics

This feature provides an augmentation in resolution and depth of
field for an ideal 3-D optical image.
Fusion Optics operates with two separate beam paths with
different information: the left beam path is optimized for high
resolution, the right beam path for optimum depth of field.
The human brain merges these two very different images to a
single, optimal spatial image.

such as rotary knobs, objective protective glasses and capping
pieces.
Limitation of reprocessing:
 
For the medical devices used on patients suffering from Creutzfeldt
Jacob Disease (CJD) or suspected of having CJD or variant CJD, the
local statutory requirements have to be met. Normally resterilizable
products used on this group of patients are to be eliminated
without risk by incineration.
Occupational safety and health protection
X Remove the fuse (1) from their receptacles and replace them.
Particular attention must be paid to the occupational safety and
health protection of the persons responsible for preparing
contaminated products. Current regulations of hospital hygiene and
prevention of infection must be observed in the preparation,
cleaning and disinfection of the products.
Limitation of reprocessing
Frequent reprocessing has little effects on these products. The end
of the product life cycle is usually determined by wear and tear and
damage through use.

12.5.2 Instructions

Workplace
X Remove surface contamination with a disposable cloth/paper cloth.

Storage and transport

• No special requirements.
• It is recommended to perform the reprocessing of a product immediately following its use.
Preparation for cleaning
X Remove the product from the PROVEO 8 surgical microscope.

Cleaning: manually
• Equipment: water, detergent, alcohols, microfiber cloth
Procedure
X Rinse surface contamination off of the product (temp. < 40 °C). Use some rinsing agent depending upon degree of contamination.
X Alcohol may also be used to clean the optics if heavy contamination such as fingerprints, grease streaks etc. is present.
X Dry off products, except for optical components, with a disposable cloth/paper cloth. Dry off optical surfaces with a micro-fiber cloth.

Cleaning: automatically
• Equipment: cleaning/disinfecting device
It is not recommended to clean products with optical components in a cleaning/disinfecting device. In addition, optical components must
not be cleaned in ultrasonic baths in order to prevent damage.
Disinfection
The alcohol disinfection solution "Mikrozid, Liquid" may be used in accordance with the instructions on the label.
Please note that after disinfection, the optical surfaces must be rinsed thoroughly with fresh drinking water, followed by fresh
demineralized water. The products must be dried thoroughly before the subsequent sterilization.
Maintenance
No special requirements.
Control and functional test
Check the snap-on behavior of rotary knobs and handles.
Packaging
Individual: A standard PE bag may be used. The bag must be large enough for the product so that the closure is not under tension.
Sterilization
See Sterilization table on chapter 12.5.3.
Storage
No special requirements.
Additional information

Address of local agent
Leica Microsystems (Schweiz) AG verified that the aforementioned instructions for the preparation of a product are suitable for its reuse.
The processing person is responsible for reprocessing with the equipment, materials and personnel and for achieving the desired results in
the reprocessing installation. In general, this requires validations and routine monitoring of the process. Every deviation from the supplied
instructions should also be examined carefully by the processing person to determine effectiveness and possible detrimental consequences.

Separation distance according to frequency of transmitter in m

Rated maximum output 150 kHz up to 80 MHz 80 MHz up to 800 MHz 800 MHz up to 2.5 GHz
power of transmitter in W d = 0.35 √P d = 0.35 √P d = 0.7 √P

0.01 0.04 0.04 0.07

0.1 0.11 0.11 0.22

1 0.35 0.35 0.70

10 1.11 1.11 2,21

100 3.50 3.50 7.00

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using
the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according
to the transmitter manufacturer.

Note 1 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures,
objects and people.

If use is made of accessories or cables other than those specified in this user manual or approved by the manufacturer of the
PROVEO 8 surgical microscope, this can lead to an increase in electromagnetic radiation or a reduction in EMC.

The PROVEO 8 surgical microscope must not be used directly adjacent other instruments. If it is necessary to operate it in the vicinity
of other instruments, the devices should be monitored to ensure that they function properly in this arrangement.
