4. ASSEMBLY – ATTACHING LIGHT CABLE AND FINE-TUNING OPTICAL SYSTEM
ATTACHING THE FIBER-OPTIC LIGHT CABLE
1.
Determine which type of endoscope fitting is installed on the fiber-optic cable, and choose one of the following options.
a.
Adapter is not needed for the ACMI®/Stryker® light cable
b. If the light cable is a Storz®/Olympus® REF: 81151 will be required
c.
If the light cable is a Wolf®/Dyonics® REF: 81152 will be required
d. If the fitting on the light cable is none of the above, adapters may be available from the light cable manufacturer.
2.
Attach the fiber-optic cable to the endoscope.
WARNING: Do not use system without light cable properly attached.
NOTE: Tape or tie the light source and camera cables together to prevent tangling.
ADJUSTING LIGHT AND FOCUS
ADJUSTING WHITE BALANCE, FOCUS AND LIGHT INTENSITY
a.
Select automatic or manual mode to obtain optimal illumination. White balancing the system sets the color balance of the
camera. This is usually accomplished by pressing the white balance button on the camera while focusing on a white surface
placed on top of the Blade Assembly window. A white linen or gauze sponge may be used. You may see reflections in the
background of the video image, usually when the light is at high intensity (e.g., when the light source is set in the automatic
mode). These reflections disappear when tissue or another colored surface is placed over the window of the Blade
Assembly. These reflections should not have an impact on the clarity of the video image during normal operation.
b. To fine tune the illumination, a light-colored cloth towel may be placed over the viewing window. In automatic mode, the
light source should compensate correctly for the camera needs.
c.
When working in the manual mode, adjust the light intensity until details of the cloth fibers are well defined.
d. If the image is not clear, the endoscope should be replaced. If the view is obstructed, the Blade Assembly should be
replaced. If the view remains unclear, the instrument should not be used. Return it for service.
