1. INTRODUCTION
The Verde NV3 and Verde NV4 Surgical Lights consist of a light head and cardanic counterbalance
arm mounted to a suspension arm system.
The light head is fixed to a cardanic-type support (vertical gimbal joint, horizontal gimbal joint), and can
be rotated, swivelled and tilted in any direction. Height is adjusted via the 360º rotating counterbalance
arm. The position of the light head is adjusted via the 360º rotating suspension arm.
These instructions for use are considered as being part of the equipment. They must be kept in the
vicinity of the equipment at all times. Precise observance of the instructions for use is a prerequisite for
proper use and correct operation of the equipment and is essential for the safety of patients and
personnel.
Only NUVO accessories that have been tested together with the device and are listed within the
instructions for use may be used. If accessories are used that are not listed in the instructions for use,
their suitability for use must be tested in accordance with the safety specifications.
The documentation in its entirety relates to the equipment model and current basic safety regulations
at time of going to press. All rights are reserved for equipment, switches, procedures, software
programs and names.
NUVO Inc. considers itself responsible for the consequences of safety, reliability and performance of
the equipment only if:
a) Installation, modification or repair procedures have been performed only by NUVO Inc. or an agent
expressly authorized for these purposes by NUVO Inc.
Please inspect the equipment and accessories immediately after receipt for any transportation damage
and defects.
Claims for damage will only be valid if the vendor (NUVO Inc.) or the carrier is informed at once.
A damage report must then be prepared immediately. The damage report must be sent to an agent of
NUVO Inc. near to you or directly to NUVO Inc.
If a light or parts of a light are returned, original packaging materials should be used where possible. If
this packaging material is not available any more, adequate packaging must be used for prevention
damage during transit. The following documentation must be attached:
The device complies with the demands of the Medical Devices Directive of the European Community
93/42/EC.
The type plate of the light head is found on the rear of the control unit.

2. COMMISSIONING
The NUVO Surgical Light is a medical light for use in therapy rooms or operating rooms in hospital
environments. It is used for local illumination of the patient's body, enabling illnesses, injuries and
afflictions to be recognised and treated. It may only be used within rooms correctly designed according
to the National Electrical Codes.
Fundamentally, an individual light head should not be used for operations where in the case of a light
failure a serious threat of danger to the patient may arise. Light combinations with two or even three
light heads offer a greater safeguard against light failure and additionally supply higher brightness
levels for the surgical operation area.
• Incorrect use and non-observance of safety specifications may lead to serious injury. You should
read and correctly understand the information documented within the instructions for use for the
NUVO Surgical Lights.
• The light has not been designed for use in areas prone to danger of explosion.
• Never look into the switched-on light from the front, and do not place reflective objects into the path
of the beam. Danger of glare exists due to the high illuminance level.
• The distance between light emission surface of the switched on light and surface of the patient
should not be less than 24 inches (60 cm) in order to guarantee suitable lighting conditions.
• The light must not be operated if the covers are damaged or destroyed.
• Do not place any objects on the lamp housing or hang objects on arms or lamp housings, as this
may compromise the stability of the fixing and there is the danger that these objects may fall into
the surgical area. Attaching or hanging heavy objects can destroy the mechanism.
• The light housing may not be covered up during operation as this will impair heat exchange with the
surroundings and may lead to overheating of the surgical light.
• Collision of supporting arms with light heads must be avoided. A heavy collision may lead to lights
becoming damaged or components breaking off and falling into the surgical area.
2.3 Installation
Mounting and installation of the NUVO Surgical Light may only be carried out by installation
companies authorised by NUVO Inc.
Installation of lights to the ceiling must be carried out according to the 'Pre-Installation' Instructions for
the Verde Surgical Light.
Incorrect installation may cause damage of the ceiling structure which could lead to the light falling
down. This may cause critical injury to patients and personnel.
Electrical installation on-site must comply with the National Electrical and local codes.
The light is intended solely for use with the following original NUVO Power Supply:
• Verde H/L Powerbox 90-250 VAC or
• Verde L Powerbox 22-31AC 24-44DC
Please consult the installation instructions for further information.
Prior to initial operation the operator should check for correct installation and safe operating condition
of the NUVO Surgical Light.
In the case of an error or defect please contact NUVO Inc. or a service dealer
authorised by NUVO Inc.
The operator must observe the requirements of the Infection Control Department for hygiene and
disinfection in the country of operation.
All outer surfaces of the NUVO Surgical Light, including the control unit, may be cleaned with
commercially available cleaning agents and alcohol-free disinfectants. Take care to prevent ingress of
cleaning liquids into the inner of the light.
For disinfection of the sterilizable handles, we recommend products containing alcohol on an aldehyde
basis. The handles must be rinsed out before sterilization.
The handles may be steam sterilized. Recommended parameters for this are:
a.) Steam sterilization at 121 °C; 1.3 bar; 25 to 30 minutes
b.) Steam sterilization at 136 °C; 2.3 bar; 4 minutes
When filling the autoclave you must take care that the open side of the handles points downwards.
The handles must not be secured and must not come into contact with other objects to be sterilized.
Hot air sterilization is not recommended by NUVO Inc. If however this is necessary, the handles may
be loosely sterilized at 134 °C for 3 minutes.
Note: Sterilizable handles are subject to natural wearing out. In general, service life consists of
approximately 250 cleaning cycles.

The surgeon must set the optimal field adjustment for the surgical procedure. An optimal
contrast is achieved when the field size is 1-2 inches (2 - 3cm) larger than the surgical field, so
that the sterile cover is also illuminated. This improves adaptation of the surgeon's eyes to the
complete field of vision.
If the light is already switched on and is in normal mode (white light), pressing the 'Power' push-button
on the control panel once suffices for switching to endo mode.
4. MAINTENANCE
High-Power LED light sources are installed with an average service life in excess of 20,000 hours of
operation. With an average daily application duration, failure of the LED’s can be expected after 7 to 8
years at the earliest.
In order to guarantee flawless operation of the NUVO Verde NV4 and Verde NV3 Surgical Lights,
defective LED’s must be immediately replaced. In this case please contact you authorized NUVO Inc.

The braking action of individual joints must be so adjusted that the light head stays
in the desired position.
If a supporting arm of the operational light moves away, the corresponding braking
screw must be tightened.
If the spring arm with light head does not stay in the desired height position, the
spring load resistance must be adjusted.
In order to avoid collision with other components, vertical adjustment of the spring
arm must be confined.
