Maintenance And Troubleshooting Of Medical Cold Light Source

Released on Sep. 07, 2021

Medical Cold Light Source is an indispensable equipment in minimally invasive surgery. It is used as illumination light source and medical auxiliary lighting for endoscopes. Let's learn about the cleaning, disinfection and maintenance of medical cold light source and troubleshooting.

Cleaning and disinfection of medical cold light source

1. After each use, the equipment needs to be cleaned and disinfected;

2. It can be scrubbed with a soft cloth soaked with surface disinfectant or alcohol;

3. Keep the equipment dry and do not use any cleaning agents, detergents and solvents to clean it;

Maintenance of medical cold light source

1. In order to prevent accidents caused by aging and wear, the equipment and its accessories must be maintained, and the performance and operational safety of the equipment must be properly checked according to frequent use;

2. The inspection of the equipment is operated by professional technicians;

3. If the device cannot perform certain functions or display specific data, do not operate the machine;

4. If some specific measurement values and their tolerances do not meet, the machine should be inspected by professional maintenance technicians;

Troubleshooting of medical cold light source

1. The equipment can't work, the switch indicator is not bright,

Reasons: 1. To connect the power cord; 2. The power switch is not turned on; 3. The fuse is open;

Remedy: 1. Connect the power cord; 2. Turn on the power switch; 3. Replace the fuse;

2. The output brightness of the light source is insufficient

Reasons: 1. The brightness adjustment is too low; 2. The light guide is not inserted in the position; 3. The light guide is aging and damaged;

Remedy: 1. Increase the brightness; 2. Insert the light guide into place; 3. Replace the light guide;

3. The value of the digital display screen is automatically reduced, and the brightness of the light source is also reduced.

Reasons: 1. The cooling holes of the device are blocked by objects; 2. The cooling fan of the device is faulty;

Remedy: 1. Remove obstructive items from the cooling holes of the equipment; 2. Ask professionals to replace the cooling fan;

4. The newly replaced bulb can not light up normally or needs to be fired several times before it can light up

Reason: The main reason is that the bulb is not replaced according to the standard operation. Before installing the new bulb, apply a uniform layer of conductive silicone grease on the metal electrodes at both ends. The silicone grease should not be too thin or too thick, otherwise the contact between the bulb and the metal heat sink will be lost. Well, there is a phenomenon that the lamp keeps on fire but the bulb does not light up.

5. After turning on the light, the light bulb flickers and then the light is turned off, and the fuse is blown. For this type of fuse failure, it is generally caused by a short circuit caused by damage to some components on the power board.
