    Activate the camera in the administrator menu

OPERATING GUIDELINES

6.1. SELECTING THE SURGICAL SPECIALITY
This camera can be used in various mini-invasive surgical operations.
Select the speciality from the pre-entered list. This loads the video parameters for the application accordingly:

  • LAPAROSCOPY
  • HYSTEROSCOPY
  • CYSTOSCOPY
  • ENT
  • ARTHROSCOPY
  • FLEXIBLE ENDOSCOPY

Note 1: Each of these specialities can be accessed by scanning the Fusion Card on its dedicated area Z1 on the control unit. This can de done at any time. If the Fusion Card is scanned while a surgical operation is in progress, then confirmation will be requested

By default, the following configuration is applied (factory setting):
B1 (short press / long press): Brightness – / Light source
B2 (short press / long press): Brightness – / Insuffl ator
B3 (short press / long press): No action / AWB
Mirror mode: An “M” is displayed on the monitor to indicate that the mirror mode (inverted image) is active, and disappears when it is deactivated.
Freeze mode: an «F» is displayed on the monitor to indicate that the freeze mode is active, and disappears with it is deactivated.

6.3. WHITE BALANCE
The white balance can be set in 2 ways:

  • From the touch screen interface, click the white balance button
  • From one of the camera head buttons, depending on your programming (only possible with long press) You should proceed as follow:
  • Once the camera is paired with the endoscope, the ambient light reduced to a minimum and the light source active, film a white surface
  • Set the white balance; the BALANCING IN PROGRESS message is displayed on the screen
  • Continue to film the white surface until the BALANCE OK message is displayed on the screen

Note 1: Setting the white balance causes the chronometer to be activated, signalling the start of the surgery and therefore the availability of additional functionalities, particularly those linked to the image quality settings
Note 2: If the Ackermann light source is connected to the Ackermann camera by the communication cable supplied, then setting the white balance will cause the LED to light up if it was previously off
In the event that the white balance is set during an operation, i.e. inside the patient, the endoscope must be pulled out of the trocar and the white balance must be set again using gauze

6.4. FOCUSING
Once the endoscope is connected and the light source is activated, slowly turn the lens focus ring to find a position where the objects being observed are sharp.
Focusing on a fairly distant point helps obtain adequate field depth for the operation and therefore avoids having to do retouching too regularly
6.5. FUNCTIONALITIES
6.5.1. VIDEO SETTINGS
Once the white balance is set, or the “Start” button has been pressed, access to the video settings is authorised.
In this way, it is possible to work directly on brightness, sharpness and red gain.
Additional settings are available by clicking the “More settings” button.
The following parameters can be modified:

Brightness This parameter varies the general brightness of the image
Blue gain Colorimetry shift from white to blue
Red gain Colorimetry shift from white to red
Color Modifies color saturation
Noise reduction Reduces the noise in an image
Window

Shutter window analysis: surface of the image on which the camera analyses the quantity of light received, in order to adjust the speed of the shutter to obtain a right exposure time. Use the auto- matic mode or change it according to the scope size

Gamma| Modifies the dynamics of the dark areas: +1 reduces the diff erence between the light portions and the dark portions, therefore making these dark areas appear less so. -1 does the opposite: the dark portions are made even darker.
Sharpness| Modifies the sharpness of the image to obtain a 3D effect or on the other hand, softens the image with the anti-moiré filter for flexible endoscopes.
Gain| Modifies the brightness level in cases of mediocre lighting conditions
Red phase| Colorimetry phase shift from Orange to Magenta
