Health risks
Workplaces with microscopes facilitate and
improve the viewing task, but they also impose
high demands on the eyes and muscles of the
user. Depending on the duration of uninter-
rupted work, asthenopia and musculoskeletal
problems may occur. For this reason, approp-
riate measures for reduction of the workload
must be taken:
OOptimal arrangement of workplace, work
assignments and work flow (changing tasks
frequently).
OThorough training of the personnel, giving
consideration to ergonomic and organizati-
onal aspects.
The ergonomic optical design and construction
of Leica microscopes are intended to reduce the
exertion of the user to a minimum.
The manufacturer assumes no liabi-
lity for damage caused by, or any
risks arising from using the device
for other purposes than those for
which they are intended or not
using them within the specifications
of Leica Microsystems CMS GmbH.
In the event of such, the declaration
of conformity shall become null and
void.
This device is not intended for use
in the patient environment defined
by DIN VDE 0100-710. Neither is it
intended for combining with medi-
cal devices according to
93/42/EWG and/or IVD devices
according to 98/78/EG (2107/746).
If this device is electrically connec-
ted to a medical device according
to EN60601-1, the requirements
defined in EN60601-1-1 shall apply.
