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.
