5.3 Illumination BrightCare Plus display

The main illumination of the PROVIDO is a xenon lamp and is

located in the stand. Illumination is routed to the optics carrier via
fibre optic light guide.
The backup lamp can be either another xenon lamp or a LED lamp.
In case of a failure of the lamp in use, the other lamp can be
selected manually with the sliding switch below the horizontal arm
(see page 21).
5.3.1 AutoIris
AutoIris synchronizes the illumination field automatically according
to the magnification factor.
Using the manual override, the illumination field can be adjusted
manually.

source).
This means that less light is required to work with the microscope
at a shorter distance than at a greater distance.

It is advisable to begin with a low light intensity and

increase it until an optimum level of illumination is
achieved.
Heat release
Heat from non-visible light (over 700 nm) is filtered out of the light
from the used xenon light source. Nevertheless, white light also
always develops heat. An excessive amount of white light can lead
to overheating of tissue and metal objects.

It is advisable to begin with a low light intensity and

increase it until an optimum level of illumination is
achieved.

Step Procedure Details Checked / Signature

1 Cleaning the optical accessories X Check the tubes, eyepieces and the documentation
accessories (if used) for cleanliness.
X Remove dust and dirt.
2 Installing the accessories X Lock the PROVIDO in place and install all accessories on the
microscope so it is ready for use (see page 25).
X Position the handles as desired.
X Connect the footswitch, if used.
X Check the camera image on the monitor and realign if
necessary.
X Check that all equipment is in its proper position (all
covers fitted, doors closed).
3 Checking the tube settings X Check the tube and eyepiece setting for the selected user.
4 Function check X Check the fiber optics cable connection to the optics
carrier.
X Connect the power cable.
X Switch on the microscope.
X Switch on the illuminator at the control unit.
X Leave the illumination on for at least 5 minutes.
X Check the lamp history and make sure that the remaining
life time is sufficient for the planned surgery.
X Replace defective bulbs before the surgery.
X Test all functions on the handles and the footswitch.
X Check the user settings on the control unit for the selected
user.
5 Balancing X Balance the PROVIDO (see page 13).
X Press the "All Brakes" button on the handle and check the
balancing.
6 Sterility X Fit sterile components and sterile drape if used (see
page 30).
X Repeat balancing.
