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 EN60601-1, the requirements

deﬁned in EN60601-1-1 shall apply.
