Ophthal microscope protection tips
microscope has to be switched on at least 30 minutes everyday if there is no surgery.
Keep a zero candle bulb on during night near oculars , but without microscope cover .
Keep dehumidifier sachets
With these measures , we can keep any humidity and any fungus away for decades.
We need our staff to be very disciplined in this subject
Use older type of vehicle horn a rubber bulb with conical shape with tapered end - to blow air on optical surfaces to bow the fine dust away , than physically touch and clean those fine surfaces like microscope eye piece lenses, optics lenses, slit lamp eye pieces, mirrors helps keep these surfaces like brand new fir years
Dr Ravishankar Mysore
In a humid environment, do not cover optics with plastic drape covers (commonly supplied by medical equipment manufacturers) since these will retain humidity. If you need to drape the microscope to protect against dust, use a cloth cover
Dr MK Sanghi
If you don't have laminar airflow systems having a dehumidifier helps

Its not for NABH..assessors don't come with a tape????its recommended by National building code , iphs norms and HVAC engineers as per patient safety standards. accreditation bodies don't create regulations they ensure regulations are incorporated in standards and integrated into day to practice for patient safety and quality. Govt and regulatory bodies insists Dr Nirmal Fredrick
