When using an endoscopic video head and buttons, color saturation and hues are adjusted with controls on the video processor. Before beginning any endoscopic procedure, white balancing is an important practice. Attach the endoscope to a light source, ignite it, and place the distal tip of the scope within close proximity to a white object. White tubes and gauze pads are available to help with white balancing. The white balance button should only be used when the patient’s entire face is in view of a pure white object.
Camera Series
The camera-series endoscopic video head and buttons are compact and lightweight, and feature a long flexible camera cable. These units feature illuminated buttons with customizable functions. An integral locking mechanism keeps the endoscope secure while preventing decoupling of the attached equipment. The 90-deg angled head has a locking lever and self-leveling pendulum mechanism. It is suitable for urology, gynecology, and ENT applications.
The camera and video head series are widely used in a variety of medical applications, including surgery and diagnosis. For these medical applications, superior image quality is essential. The OP-714 series features a powerful, DSP-based processor and precise settings for optimal image quality. The OP-714 camera is also compatible with most endoscopic video heads.
HD Video Endoscopy Tower System
The HD Video Endoscopic Surgical Tower System provides a straightforward solution for your endoscopic imaging needs. Its components fit on a cart for maximum portability, while incorporating a 1920x1080p resolution and nine specialty settings for enhanced visualization. This device also boasts wireless transmission capabilities and a 300-watt elliptical bulb for optimal illumination. And for optimum color resolution, it includes a three-chip endoscopy camera, which maintains pneumoperitonium even under harsh operating conditions.
This system offers a wide range of advanced imaging features, including a 26-inch 1080p flat-panel monitor with integrated WiSe technology. This technology provides powerful image management and ease of patient data management, while the 500XL Xenon Light Source features bright performance and 18% more brightness than stand-alone LEDs. HD-quality video images produced by the system ensure a highly accurate diagnosis.
Endoscopic video systems are not subject to extensive refurbishment, unlike their scopes. However, there are some important factors to consider when choosing the right one for your practice. First, consider the number of patients you treat. Do you operate on patients with complex conditions? If so, you should look for a system that can be backward-compatible with your existing equipment. Secondly, consider the features of the system’s video processor. Ensure that it can transmit image signals to monitors, and is backward-compatible with existing equipment.
Command Function
The is a versatile, remote control device that allows the physician to operate the endoscopic video head from anywhere in the operating room. It has several video inputs and can be controlled using various signal sources, including Blu-ray discs, USB, LAN, and DICOM. The complete control over joimax endoscopic devices and allows the physician to review settings on a live basis.
Air pumps
Endoscopic video heads and light sources contain air pumps that deliver air into the patient and the video image. The air pumps are usually integrated into the light source’s housing, and they have buttons and controls that enable the user to change settings and control air delivery. Many light sources have a water tank, and the water bottle is connected to the water bottle port on the endoscope. The water bottle is filled to the recommended level, but if the bottle is too full, air production will decrease.
A valve on the air pump controls the flow of gas into the chamber. A valve may be disposed between the air pump and the fluid source 16. In addition, an air filter is optionally disposed between the air pump and the fluid supply tube, and it can be directly coupled to the endoscope. Depending on the application, some endoscopic control units may include an additional valve. To prevent the backflow of air into the chamber, a valve may be disposed between the air pump and the fluid source 16.
An endoscopic system may include the following: an endoscope 60, a peristaltic pump, an endoscope control unit, and an air pump. The endoscope is connected to the endoscopic control unit 3. The pump sends air through the tube to a fluid source 6. The fluid is forced out of the lens cleaning tube 2 a at a low flow rate. The pump replenishes the air supply when the endoscope’s supply becomes low.
Fiber Optic Light Cables
Fiber optic light cables can be used with many different types of endoscopic instruments, including rigid endoscopes, flexible video otoscopes, and ultra-thin flexible endoscopes. Before purchasing any of these devices, make sure you have the proper cables for your specific device. Check for punctures and don’t immerse the cable in fluid, as this will damage the fiber optic cables inside the cord. Look for decreased light transmission, which could mean that the fibers within the cable have broken.
Make sure the metallic contacts on the endoscope are clean and dry. If they are not, use an arrowhead-style pencil to clean them. Be aware that some light sources have manual and automatic light levels. If you need to adjust the light level of your endoscope, be sure to follow the instructions included with your device. You may also need to replace the fiber optic light cable if it has become damaged.
The endoscope and video head form the optical chain in the modern-day surgical procedure. This chain consists of several components, including a light source, camera head, video signal box, display monitor, and fiber optic light cable. Any interruption in this chain can lead to poor imaging, compromising the safety of the surgery. However, this chain is a simple one to understand and maintain. You can choose which cables are right for your endoscopic video head and buttons by referring to the instructions included with your purchase.
