A new type of lighting device is incorporated into the ether screen cross-bar, enabling better illumination of the patient's face. A 12-V, DC power supply is used. The temperature, with vacuum-assisted cooling, should not cause burns to an unconscious patient. Assessment of patient colour was evaluated and found to be reliable. The lamp must not be used with flammable anaesthetic agents.
