PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The lens, light cable (both optional) and camera head are sterilised in accordance with the manufacturer’s
user manual. The control unit is used outside the sterile field, unlike the proximal end of the camera head and
light cable.
A compatible lens is fitted to the DUO Full HD camera head and the light cable is equipped with compatible
adaptors at the two ends. The camera head and light cable are connected to the DUO Full HD control unit. The
other end of the light cable and camera head are connected to the endoscope. It is recommended to use a
sterile, single-use protective cover over the camera head and its cable for the duration of the procedure.
The diagnostic or surgical procedure may now be performed. The cavity is illuminated and video camera
images are displayed on the monitor screen. The images may be stored on a USB key connected to the front
