5. Instruct the patient to lie on the bed.

Have the patient lie in a way suited for observation of and laser emission to the patient’s eyes while he/
she is on his/her back.
[Cautions regarding emission of the illumination light]
• Set the intensity of the illumination to the minimum level (not off) at the start of the observation.
Then gradually raise the level as necessary. Make a habit of resetting the intensity to the
minimum level every time an observation of a patient is finished.
Raising the intensity suddenly dazzles the patient at the start of the observation. In addition,
it may cause a thermal and photochemical damage to the retina of the patient (blue light
hazard).

• Never fail to pay attention to the following points when operating the B.I.O. delivery unit.
- Keep the intensity of the illumination as low as possible.
- Set the range of the illumination as small as possible.
- Use a color filter as necessary.

• Pay attention when emitting the illumination to the infant or patients with aphakic eye
or eye disease.

6. Observe the fundus before the laser emission.

1) Adjust the intensity of the illumination spot.

Turn the illumination control of the B.I.O.

delivery unit to adjust the illumination spot to
the proper intensity.

NOTE
• Be sure to set the intensity of the illumination
spot to the minimum (not off) level at the
beginning, and increase it gradually as Illumination control
necessary.

pulling the filter selector.

4) Observe the affected part on the fundus.

Move the aspheric B.I.O. lens, which is held approximately 5 cm away from the patient’s eye,
back and forth while the operator’s head remains still.
Perform observation under the condition where the fundus can be seen fully within the
aspheric lens. At this time, the fundus image is seen upside-down.

NOTE
• Use the aspheric B.I.O. lens facing the side with a white line on the rim toward the patient.
