Safety Instructions

Range of Applications: The HEINE dermatoscope is designed solely for
the clinical examination of the surface of the skin. HEINE photo adaptor,
and digital camera are specifically designed and optimized for the quick
and systematic documentation of pigmented lesions and do not replace
the diagnosis of the examiner.
General Safety: For documentation with a digital camera use only the
HEINE photo adaptor, and our recommended adaptor from the digital
camera adaptor range. Do not look directly into the light source to avoid
dazzle from the intense, white, light emitting diodes (LED's). The HEINE
DELTA 20 Dermatoscope is not suitable for Eye Examinations. If you use
®
a digital camera, store your pictures first on the removable flash card
and transfer the photographic images by connecting the flash card to the
PC. A electrical conducting connection between camera, PC and a mains
power source is not permissible.
Safety in use: Use only power sources which are designed for medical
applications. Electrical and mechanical compatibility of the HEINE
DELTA 20 dermatoscope can be assured only when used in conjunction
®
with 2.5V and 3.5V HEINE battery or rechargeable handles with HEINE AV
or TL-connectors.
Operation without a camera
Connect the HEINE DELTA 20 Dermatoscope to the handle. Increased
®
mobility and ease of handling can be achieved by using the connection
cable (see accessories) which connects the instrument to the handle.
Prepare the skin by moistening with Dermatoscopy-oil (use a cotton swab)
or disinfectant spray.
• Turn the Dermatoscope on, and place it gently so that the lesion is in
the center of the contact plate (1a).
• The examiner's eye should be as close to the eye-piece (3) as possible.
Adjust the focus ring until a crisp, clearly-focused image is obtained.

Dermatoscope
and keep them in a safe place for
• For dermatoscopy, use the instrument only with the HEINE contact
plate (1a, 1b) correctly-fitted.
• For general dermatological examinations, you can use the
Dermatoscope without the contact plate as an illuminated loupe.
• Tip: Once crisp, clear focus has been achieved by adjusting the Focus
ring, make a note of the position of the Focus ring (3) in relation to the
linear mark (4) or edge of the instrument housing. This will help you to
find your "personal" position and facilitate quicker focusing the next
time you use the Dermatoscope.
Operation for digital photography
• Attach the SLR photo adaptor to the digital camera. If necessary, take
a clinical photo of the lesion and general area.
• Now Adjust the Focus ring (3), aligning it's lower edge with the linear
mark (4). This will position the camera for the highest contrast images.
The distance ring supplied with the instrument simplifies this procedure.
• To mount the photo adaptor (6) to the HEINE DELTA 20
Slide the Connector Ring (7) of the photo adaptor with one hand in
the direction of the camera and hold in this position. Now guide the
Dermatoscope into the photo-adaptor with the free hand until it clicks
into the notch of the Dermatoscope body (5). You can now release the
Connector Ring (7), it will automatically provide a tight connection
between the camera and the Dermatoscope.
• Make sure that the Dermatoscope is securely connected and that it
can be easily rotated inside the photo adaptor. You are now ready to
start producing digital images.
• To detach the Dermatoscope from the photo adaptor slide the
Connector Ring (7) on the photo adaptor in direction of the camera
and pull the Dermatoscope out and away from the camera.
• Tip: We can only guarantee the performance of the HEINE DELTA
Dermatoscope with HEINE Photo adaptor when used with one of
the following SLR digital cameras:
(www.heine.com  DELTA 20  Camera for DELTA 20).
We recommend a normal visual examination of the
skin before documentation with a digital camera.
Please read the "Compendium of Dermatoscopy
of pigmented skin lesions" supplied with the
DELTA 20, which provides important information
on the basic procedure.
• The resolution of a PC monitor is not high enough
to display all the pixels of a modern digital camera.
To get the highest resolution dermatoscopic image
possible, you should increase the image size.
