Why Do HEINE 3000 Devices Offer Exceptional Clarity?

The optics used by Mini 3000 medical devices are designed to produce crisp, clear images of the whole area that is under examination while minimising reflections. The award-winning design offers maximum quality because of the high-performance LED, using bright, homogeneous illumination with excellent colour rendering to produce crystal clear imagery. Optimal colour rendering ensures accurate colouring too, meaning that the chances of misdiagnosing a patient are decreased.

Why Are HEINE Mini 3000 Devices Ideal for Training On?

HEINE Mini 3000 products are ideal for students and those in training because they are so easy to use, so portable and so long-lasting. Their small, compact nature enables more flexibility from you, while their portable design is perfect for use throughout a long-day moving from room to room. They are highly practical too and can be used by just one hand, ideal for showing students during examinations or while undertaking training yourself when you’ve just started to learn.

Why Are HEINE Mini 3000 Devices So Efficient?

What make HEINE Mini 3000 medical devices so long-lasting are their LED lights, which are designed to last for up to 50,000 hours. As the LED light requires such little energy to operate, you can use normal AA batteries to power your medical devices. This makes them incredibly efficient, meaning that they won’t require recharging which gives you a peace of mind that your ophthalmoscope or otoscope won’t run out of charge during use.

How Do I Charge Your MINI 3000 Student Savers Set?

With your purchase you will receive two battery handles. You can charge your otoscope and ophthalmoscope by using two AA batteries that can simply be inserted into the bottom of each medical device. As LED lights use little energy, you can expect to be able to use the device for a significant amount of time before the batteries will require replacement.

How Do I Know When the HEINE Mini 3000 Devices Are Low on Battery?

HEINE have thought about this and included a performance indicator and fade out function that work together to warn you when your batteries are running low. Firstly the performance indicator (a bright light that is always shining) will be brightly lit to ensure you that the devices are working and are fully charged. When the light starts to fade out, it corresponds with your battery level meaning that you know exactly when the device is running low on power.

How Do I Care for the Student Savers Set?

Caring for your otoscope and ophthalmoscope is slightly different, as the setup of each is unique. The otoscope features a swivelling window that can be moved to reach the more intricate areas of the product. At this point you want to clean the outside with a soft cloth, the inside with a cotton wool bud and if necessary you can soak each in alcohol.

Cleaning your ophthalmoscope is slightly different. We would recommend the following guidelines:

• Equipment
  • Cleaning agent, if necessary: enzymatic (e. g. neodisher MediClean)
  • Disinfectant: alcoholic (e. g. Incides N) or alcoholic and quaternary ammonium compounds (e. g. Super Sani-Cloth)
• Implementation
  • For heavier soiling, you can first clean with a wipe soaked with cleaning agent before disinfecting with a disinfectant wipe.
  • Clean and disinfect the device manually.
  • Pay particular attention to difficult to access areas.
  • Thoroughly wipe the touched areas: e. g. operating elements, rotary controls, locking elements.
  • For removing the disinfectant and drying afterwards, follow the instructions provided by the disinfectant manufacturer.
• Inspection and function testing
  • Check the device for any visible contaminants or abrasions. Reprocess again if necessary. Dispose if the contaminants cannot be removed.

What Materials Are the HEINE Mini 3000 Devices Made From?

The entire set is made from similar materials that are designed using a non-irritant, latex free and phthalate free process, meaning that yours or your patient’s skin won’t become irritated. The key materials are:

• All plastic casing for durability
