Performing The White-Balance Test - Stryker 1488 Manual

Performing the White-Balance Test

Before each surgical procedure, perform the white-balance test to adjust the
camera's perception of white so it can display other colors correctly.
1. Ensure that a scope and light source are attached to the camera, and that
the camera, light source and monitor are powered on.
2. Point the scope tip at several stacked white gauze pads, a white
laparoscopic sponge, or any clean white surface.
3. Look at the monitor and make sure there is no visible glare off of the
white surface of the image.
4. Press and hold the camera head W button (or "WB" on the touchscreen)
until the monitor displays the message "WHITE BALANCE IN PROGRESS. "
5. Continue pointing the scope at the white surface until the video monitor
displays the message "WHITE BALANCE COMPLETE. " The video picture
may change color. If you cannot achieve an acceptable white balance,
refer to the "Troubleshooting" section in the camera console user guide
P18966 or P18972.
