The Harmony® Lux Advantage LA Surgical Lighting and Visualization Systemis a variable pattern, variable intensity surgical lighting fixture designed toprovide visible illumination of the surgical field or the patient for the operatingroom staff.

This product may contain communication devices. A medical image commu-nications device provides electronic transfer of medical image data betweenmedical devices. It may include a physical communications medium, mo-dems, interfaces, and a communications protocol.

A summary of the safety precautions to be observed when operating andservicing this equipment can be found in SECTION 1, SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. Do notoperate or service the equipment until you have become familiar with thisinformation.

Any alteration of the lighting system not authorized or performed by STERISEngineering Service which could affect its operation will void the warranty,could violate national, state and local regulations and jeopardize yourinsurance coverage.

The following is an important message from STERIS about the advan-tages and limitations associated with the use of high intensity surgicallighting systems.

Because of the variety of surgical procedures performed and the wide rangeof individual preferences of surgical staffs, it is desirable that a surgicallighting system be capable of selective control across a wide range ofillumination intensities. The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) stressesthat in addition to providing control of intensity, surgical lighting systemsshould provide shadow control, correct color rendition, and a suitable depthof field to provide sharp, consistent lighting into deep body cavities. Asillumination levels increase, however, radiant heat also increases. Therefore,the IES cautions that for most operations, radiant heat should be kept to aminimum. The user of surgical lights should utilize the lowest possible

illumination level suitable for the procedure, especially in certain neurologicalor intestinal procedures on delicate, thin, dry, or abnormal tissue. Further-more, for the protection of surgically exposed tissues and for the comfort andefficiency of the surgeon and assistants, radiant energy can be effectivelycontrolled by limiting the time of exposure at higher illumination levels. Extracare must be taken when the light fields from multiple lightheads areoverlapped on the surgical site, since this condition creates a risk of too muchheat.

An international standard for the safety of surgical lights established by theIEC sets minimum and maximum levels of illumination and maximum levels ofradiant heat that can be emitted from a single surgical luminaire. The LASurgical Lighting and Visualization System has been designed to comply withthis international standard and to provide a wide range of illumination levelswhile minimizing the potentially damaging infrared heat in the surgical field.

The illumination level of the Harmony LA Surgical Lights can be adjustedthrough several intensity settings via conveniently located controls on eitherthe wall-mounted control center or the lighthead handle. The illumination levelalso decreases as the pattern size increases. Maximum illuminance canexceed 12,000 fc for the smallest pattern size of the Harmony LA 500 orexceed 14,500 fc for the smallest pattern size of the Harmony LA 700lighthead, and can be adjusted by intensity control or pattern size controlthroughout the entire range specified by the IEC.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The wall-mounted Harmony™ Lux Advantage LA Control Center allows theuser to adjust the lighthead intensity level (brightness) by pressing amembrane switch (or "button"). An identifying number on the controldisplay corresponds to the same number on the lighthead suspensionarm. Additionally, each lighthead has its own “onboard” intensity controls,located above the lighthandle adjacent to the lens. These controls are usuallyreferred to as the surgeon's control buttons or as the surgeon's control (seeFigure 3-2).

To Adjust Lighthead Intensity Levels:

1. Press ON touch pad.

2. Intensity levels for one or two lightheads can be controlled from one controlcenter. A lighthead’s surgeon's control buttons adjust the intensity level forthat lighthead.

Important: Avoid control center faults. Do not continuously press and holdany control center button for more than 15 seconds.

Control Center (see Figure 3-1)

1. Use the “Select Light” touch pads to move the display indicator up ordown until it aligns with the appropriate lighthead.

2. Once the lighthead is selected, press either the button to increase light

The main display screen on the control center indicates lamp status for thesystem lightheads. The display indicates the status of both the primary andsecondary lamps for each lighthead. A failed lamp should always be changedat the earliest opportunity.

A Lamp Status LED is located on the Harmony LA 500 and 700 lightheads (seeFigure 3-3). When flashing, the LED indicates the lighthead is using thebackup lamp and the primary lamp should be replaced.

• Check the lamp status LED each time the surgical light is used.

• A secondary lamp inside LA 500 or 700 lightheads automatically turns onwhen the primary lamp fails.

• If the lamp status LED is blinking, replace the failed lamp(s). (See LampReplacement, Section 6.) After the lamp is replaced and power isrestored to the lighthead, the primary lamp lights, the LED stops blinkingand the control center display changes to "lamp ready."

Lightheads can be positioned by using either the sterile handle, or bygrasping the non-sterile handle around the lighthead housing. Each lightheadcan be positioned as listed from outside or from within the sterile field. Tooptimize shadow control, position the lighthead as appropriate before startingthe intended surgical procedure.

3.11 Video CameraOperation

The optional video camera is integrated into a removable handle that can befitted to any Harmony LA 500 or LA 700 lighthead. Whenever the video optionis used, a separate sterile disposable cover must be fitted over the camerabefore each procedure (see SECTION 3.10, INSTALL CAMERA DISPOSABLE STERILE

COVER). This cover allows the camera to be grasped and used in the same wayas a standard handle, including positioning the lighthead for optimal illumina-tion, adjusting lighthead intensity and pattern size, as well as positioning thevideo image field for the best view of the procedure. The sterile cover must beremoved from the camera and discarded after each procedure.

Once the video camera module has been installed in the lighthead, the cameramay be turned on at the control center by selecting the camera menu and thenselecting camera on. Once the camera is initialized, its functions can becontrolled by the wall control, the optional hand-held wireless control, or theoptional foot switch. Full control of all camera functions is available throughmenus on the control center. The remote control and foot switch providecontrol of a limited set of the most commonly used features. The list of camerafeatures and how they may be controlled is summarized in the table below:

The control center functions by transmitting signals via a control cable to thecamera located in the lighthead.

The optional wireless control functions by transmitting infrared signals to thecontrol center. To initiate camera functions with either control, press theappropriate touch pad on the control face panel. The hand-held control’s IR(infrared) transmitter must be within approximately 15 feet (4.5 m) and 50° ofthe control center receiver.

NOTE: The symbols used for Zoom and Focus are "+" and "-" for the IR remotecontrol and the foot control. For the wall control, the symbols "<" and ">" areused to adjust Zoom and Focus.

Refer to Figure 3-11a. The control touch pads are used to control the followingcamera functions:

Zoom – for determining the level of detail visible in the image field. The Zoomfunction adjusts the image field continuously between two extremes:

(Telephoto). At extreme telephoto, the camera captures an image showinggreat detail in a small area.

NOTE: At extreme telephoto, any motion of the lighthead/camera may beexaggerated (jerky). The field of focus has little depth at this extreme, forcingthe Auto Focus function (if enabled) to refocus the camera when any object(such as a hand) enters the image field, or if camera position is adjusted. Thecamera is also sensitive to light level changes at extreme telephoto.

(Wide Angle). At extreme wide angle, the camera captures a large image withless detail than telephoto.

NOTE: At extreme wide angle, the image field possesses a greater depth offocus and less sensitivity to light level changes.

Rotate – Use this function to change orientation of the video field. Image fieldcan be rotated in either clockwise or counterclockwise directions.

Bright – Use this function to affect the overall brightness (or darkness ) of thevideo image. The Bright control can be set to adjust itself automatically.

Manual Focus ––––– Use this function to manually set the focus. The Auto Focusfunction must be toggled off to enable manual focusing. Adjust the clarity offocus by pressing the + or – touch pads.

Zoom is defined by two extremes: short, indicating little zoom has been used;or long, indicating zoom has been extended toward its maximum limit. Overalldistance between the object and the camera, plus the length of zoom, affectsthe camera's ability to achieve a sharp focus. The greater the zoom length, theless capability the camera has to establish a sharp focus.

• The focus slider bar on the control center also has two extremes, theseextremes have been labeled near and far. The focus indicator slides onlyas far as required to establish a sharp focus.

• When sharp focus cannot be achieved, the focus indicator cannot slide allthe way to the near setting.

Example: When the indicator cannot be moved left (toward near), the camerahas been forced beyond its optical focusing limit. In this case, adjust to ashorter zoom length, and try focusing the image again.

NOTE: + touch pad moves the lens slightly closer to subject; – touch padmoves the lens slightly away from subject.

Auto Focus – Use this function to toggle Auto Focus on or off. When AutoFocus is ON, the camera automatically focuses on the object in the imagefield closest to the camera lens. When Auto Focus is turned OFF, the cameramaintains focus on the last object upon which it was focused, until Auto Focusis turned back on.

NOTE: It may be necessary to toggle Auto Focus OFF when using the cameraat extreme telephoto (close up), to prevent the camera from refocusing onhands and other objects introduced into the image field while video imagingprocedures.

Refer to figure 3-11b, and advance control center to camera control screen 2for the following features:

Red Gain/Blue Gain – These controls are used to adjust image color settings,and are intended to allow the user to compensate for changes in colortemperature provided by differing light sources. The gain control can be setto adjust automatically.

Observe the following guidelines to aid in maximizing video imaging effective-ness.

• Energize the light at medium setting on the control center, and position thelighthead approximately 39" (1000 mm) from the surgical site.

• Using the hand-held remote, or the control center, zoom in or out (+ or -) untilthe desired image fills the viewing screen of the monitor.

NOTE: Zooming completely out causes image distortion within the illumi-nated area.

If the light pattern (white circle) does not fill the monitor’s screen (shadedsquare), the image inside the pattern may be distorted.

Reposition the camera to orient the focal point (center of the desired image)at the center of the viewing screen.

Adjust zoom and rotation as needed:

• The camera may be zoomed to the full 40x zoom (10x optical, 4x digital) androtation orientation adjusted as needed.

• Clockwise and/or counterclockwise orientation is adjusted by using thecurved arrow(s) on the hand-held control, the control center or the optionalfoot control.

As instruments are introduced to and removed from the surgical field, the autofocus attempts to focus on the nearest object, possibly causing the image toblur intermittently. To prevent this effect, once the camera has been positionedand focused onto the surgical site, the manual focus mode may be engagedto maintain image clarity during the procedure.

For deep cavity illumination, it may be necessary to engage the manual focusto focus beyond the nearest object (i.e., the surface area surrounding theincision) so that the desired image can be viewed clearly.

6.8 LampReplacement:

Optional DeepSiteLighthead

The Harmony LA Control Center provides a DeepSite lamp-life indicatordisplay (see Figure 6-5). When the control center indicates the lamp hasreached the end of its usable life, change the lamp immediately.

Refer to Figure 6-6.

Important: The DeepSite™ lamp must be turned OFF at the control centerbefore attempting to change the lamp.

1. Place a stable ladder beneath the ceiling illuminator.

2. Ascend the ladder, grasp the lamp release lever on the lamp housing andmove lever to the "open" position. (See Figure 6-6.)

3. The lamp housing is equipped with a movement dampening mechanism.Allow the lamp housing to drop to its lowest position. (See Figure 6-6.)

NOTE: A slight pull downward may be required to start the housing in motion.

4. The lamp should only be handled using its heat-insulated handle (SeeFigure 6-7). Assuring that the lamp is cool enough to handle, unscrew it fromthe housing.

5. Replace the spent lamp with a new one by inserting the lamp module intothe threaded recess of the housing (See Figure 6-7).

• Rotate the lamp clockwise (threading inward) until it is hand tight.

NOTE: The internal pressure of a spent lamp may be relieved by openingthe pinched-off tabulation located on the back of the lamp. This may beaccomplished by inserting a standard screwdriver into the slot providedthrough the side of the lamp assembly (see Figure 6-7). Tap on thescrewdriver handle to break off the small tip inside the slot. Once this hasbeen done, the old lamp may be discarded with normal trash. If the internalgas pressure is not relieved, care should be taken that the lamp is notincinerated but goes to a landfill. There is a very small percentage of thoriumoxide in the Cermax lamp cathode. Thorium is radioactive. However, theamount of thorium is so minute that it is not a hazard and the lamp can belegally disposed of without concern about radioactivity.

6. Raise the lamp housing into the ceiling illuminator and move the lamprelease lever to the "lock" position.

7. Verify that the New Lamp LED on the lamp-life indicator is lit once the controlcenter is turned on. The lamp-life indicator automatically resets to NewLamp after the lamp housing lever is opened for 25 seconds and the circuitbreaker is ON.

W A R N I N G – P E R -SONAL INJURY HAZ-ARD: Do not attempt toreplace lamp unlessthe power is turned offat the control centerand the lamp modulehas cooled sufficiently.Lamp contains xenongas at high pressure.Persons changing ordisposing of the lampshould wear eye pro-tection.

WARNING – EXPLO-SION AND LACERA-TION HAZARD: Thislamp contains xenongas at high pressure.Proper disposal proce-dures must be followed.Use eye protectionwhen working withthese lamps.

WASTE DISPOSAL GUIDELINES

WARNING – EXPLOSIONAND LACERATION HAZ-ARD: This lamp containsxenon gas at high pres-sure. Proper disposalprocedures must be fol-lowed. Use eye protec-tion when working withthese lamps.

WARNING–DISPOSALHAZARD: This productcontains materials whichmay require disposalthrough appropriately li-censed and permittedhazardous waste man-agement firms.

The following materials are contained within the Harmony® Lux Advantage LALighting System. When disposing of the lighting fixture or its parts, ensureproper disposal of hazardous and other regulated waste in compliance withnational, state, and local regulations.

Lead (Pb) in Solder - contained in solder on circuit boards and in somemiscellaneous wire connections. Minute amounts.

Electronic and Electrical Parts - not known to require special disposalmethods at date of this manual.

Metal Parts - made from aluminum (Al), steel (Fe), cast iron (Fe), copper (Cu),and copper alloys (Cu/x), plastic, synthetic rubber, plating (Cr, Ni, Zn, Au),and adhesives not known to require special disposal methods at date of thismanual.

DeepSite™ Lamp Module - contains xenon gas under pressure.

NOTE: The internal pressure of a spent lamp may be relieved by opening thepinched-off tabulation located on the back of the lamp. This may be accom-plished by inserting a standard screwdriver into the slot provided through theside of the lamp assembly (see Figure 8-1). Tap on the screwdriver handle tobreak off the small tip inside the slot. Once this has been done, the old lamp maybe discarded with normal trash. If the internal gas pressure is not relieved, careshould be taken that the lamp is not incinerated but goes to a landfill. There isa very small percentage of thorium oxide in the Cermax lamp cathode. Thoriumis radioactive. However, the amount of thorium is so minute that it is not ahazard and the lamp can be legally disposed of without concern aboutradioactivity.

a: Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/ cordless) telephones and land mobile radios,amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess theelectromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured fieldstrength in the location in which the Harmony LA System is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Harmony LASystem should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary,such as reorienting or relocating the Harmony LA System.b: Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
