Optional accessories include an external drive for connecting to a computer, Photostudio software for acquiring and importing images, and SCSI connecting cables.

Instant Slide Making

Surgislide

Accepts a standard video signal in RGB, S-Video or composite format to capture images onto standard slide film. When paired with the Sony DKR 700/1, or when used live during surgery, the surgeon can enjoy instant image capturing and slidemaking capabilities for presentation purposes.

Live recording – Video Cassette Recorders

S-VHS

Two S-VHS format VCRs are available for presentation-quality videotaping. The Sony model SVO-9500 is a simple-to-use recorder that may be controlled by the user control buttons on the Karl Storz camera heads, or optional Sony footswitches. The "Izziton" interface connects to Sony monitors with the "Izziton" feature so each time the VCR is in record mode, a green light on the monitor illuminates.

VHS

The Sony SVO-1320 is a standard VHS recorder that still offers "Izziton" and Karl Storz camera head user control button interface. It is recommended for those facilities that do not demand presentation-quality recordings.

Video Monitors

A variety of sizes and price points are available. For general hospital use, the 19" Sony Medical Grade monitor is recommended. This monitor is UL listed to meet regulatory requirements, plus offers high resolution imaging (650 lines). The "Izziton" light combines with Sony VCRs to illuminate when the VCR is recording.

Like the 19" version, the 13" Sony medical grade monitor is UL listed and offers high resolution. It is recommended for endoscopic procedures where the size of the larger monitor is prohibitive. These may include hysteroscopy or urology, where the monitor must be placed over the patient on an arm of the video cart. This monitor is also recommended for office endoscopy procedures.

A 13" monitor/VCR combo is available where price and portability are key issues. The Sony product is practical for procedures performed in the physician office. The VCR is standard VHS format.

Light Sources

Two models of Xenon light sources are available for use in the operating room environment – the 300 watt model 20133020 and 175 watt model 20132020. An optional flash unit for the 300 watt light source provides optimal light for still photography. Xenon is the preferred light source technology for endoscopy due to its true white color temperature, long bulb life, and consistent output.
Two light sources are available for the procedures performed in the physician office. The Xenon Nova model 20131520 is a 175 watt Xenon light source. The Nova is a low cost xenon alternative with a limited feature set. The model 481C is a 150 watt halogen light source. Due to its lower light output it is less appealing for use where video documentation is desired.
A variety of fiberoptic and fluid light guide cables are available to match the endoscope. 3.8mm light guide cables are recommended for any endoscope with an outer diameter of 4mm or smaller. 4.5mm light guides are recommended for endoscopes equal to or greater than 5mm in diameter. Light guide cable lengths range from 180cm to 300cm.

Adaptors are available to allow connection of Karl Storz products to other manufacturers’s light sources, light guide cables, and endoscopes.
