Table 4. Comparison of Light Source Safety Maximum Permissible Emissions testing for the digital colposcopy systems.

System LB Blue Light Hazard (mW/cm2sr) LR Retinal Thermal hazard (W/cm2sr)
Leisegang Optik 2 239.7 24.0
5.0MP POCkeT Colposcope 4.61 0.52
2.0MP POCkeT Colposcope 4.78 0.48
Canon SX50HS* 960.0* 150.7*
Apple iPhone 5S Flash 36.3 3.68

The limits for the exempt classification at subtended angle of 0.11 radians for LB at 10 W/cm2sr and LR 25.45 W/cm2sr.

* For digital cervicography with the Canon SX50HS at KCMC, the 150 W halogen source was used for illumination from the analog colposcope, the Wallach Tristar.
