2. Intended Purpose of the Microscope

The microscopes of the Leica DMI series cov- ered in this manual are designed for biological routine and research applications. This includes the examination of samples taken from the hu- man body with a view to providing information on physiological or pathological states or con- genital abnormalities, or to determining the safety and compatibility with potential recipi- ents, or to monitoring therapeutic measures.

The Leica DMI series is a further development of LeicaÕs proven inverted research microscopes.- It is designed for cellular and tissue examina- tion, micromanipulation and microinjection techniques, microdissection and confocal microscopy. The Leica DMI series is suitable for universal deployment. All contrast methods such as dark field, bright field, phase contrast, DIC, fluorescence (not DMI 3000) and modula- tion contrast are integral to the microscope and can be adapted or changed quickly and easily. Variable illumination and imaging beam paths, as well as HCS optics, modular accessories and a comprehensive range of peripherals comple- ment the Leica Microsystems inverted research stand.

The above-named microscope complies with the Council Directive 98/79/EEC concerning in vitro diagnostics. They also conform to the Council Directives 73/23/EEC concerning electri- cal apparatus and 89/336/EEC concerning elec- tromagnetic compatibility for use in an industrial environment.

Caution!

The manufacturer assumes no liability for damage caused by, or any risks arising from using the microscopes for other purposes than those for which they are intended or not using them within the specifications of Leica Microsystems Wetzlar GmbH.

In such cases the declaration of conformity shall cease to be valid.

Caution!

This (IVD) device is not intended for use in the patient environment defined by DIN VDE 0100-710. Neither is it intended for combin- ing with medical instruments according to EN 60601-1. If a microscope is electrically connected to a medical instrument accord- ing to EN 60601-1, the requirements defined in EN 60601-1-1 shall apply.
