Dermlite DL1 - Directions for Use
Intended Use
The DermLite DL1 is designed for non-invasive visual examination of intact skin, suitable for use in clinical settings by healthcare professionals.
CAUTION: Do not look directly into the LED light. Patients should close eyes during exams.
CAUTION: Not for use in environments with fire or explosion risk.

Overview
DL1 is a smartphone-compatible dermatoscope with a three-element lens and four bright white LEDs. A cross-polarized spacer eliminates skin glare and enables crisp imaging.
Attachment & Use
- Use the MagnetiConnect® Clamp (MCC) to attach the DL1 to a mobile device. Align with camera and secure with the knob (KN).
- Install the cross-polarized spacer (B) and glass contact plate (E). Place directly on the skin. Add immersion fluid if desired.
- Press the power button (C) to activate lighting. Automatically powers off after 2 minutes.
Non-Polarized Imaging
Remove the polarized spacer with your thumb and replace it with the non-polarized spacer. Alternatively, attach the polarized clip (H) for compact portability.
Glass Contact Plate
Rotate the bayonet ring (D) counter-clockwise to remove the contact plate for cleaning or non-contact imaging. Handle glass with care.
Battery and Charging
CAUTION: Use only the official 3.7V 200 mAh lithium-ion battery from DermLite.
- Charge via Micro USB using the supplied cable.
- Red LED = charging. Green = full charge. Blinking = low battery (<25%).
- Up to 1 hour of continuous operation on full charge.
Cleaning & Maintenance
CAUTION: No modifications are allowed.
Clean exterior (excluding optics) with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Clean the lens with photographic-grade tools. Do not immerse or autoclave.
Warranty
5 years on parts and labor. Battery warranty is 1 year.
