4K Coupler, C-Mount, with Advanced Imaging
Modality
Product Description and Intended Use
The Stryker 4K Coupler, C-Mount, with Advanced Imaging Modality (or
“4K Coupler”) is used to attach endoscopes to Stryker surgical camera
heads that do not have an integrated coupler. The coupler facilitates
the easy exchange of dierent-sized endoscopes during a surgical
procedure and allows users to focus the image captured through the
endoscope.
When used in a system with a Stryker light source with Advanced
Imaging Modality (e.g., 0220-220-300, 0220-230-300), the coupler can
visualize the near-infrared light produced by the light source.1Refer to
the light source user manual for complete system requirements.
1To verify if the 4K Coupler can visualize near-infrared light produced by other Stryker light
sources, refer to the light source user manual.
