Definitions

  • a rigid endoscope is constructed of an inner lumen containing multiple glass lens elements for visualization and an outer lumen containing a bundle of fiber optic strands for carrying light from a light source to the surgical site.
  • the third loss point is over the length of the fiber bundle due to the attenuation rate of the bulk fiber strands.
  • the fiber optic light cable transmits light from the light source to the endoscope in sterile field.
  • the fourth loss point is the junction between the light cable and the proximal end of the endoscope.
  • the light source must generate a significant amount of light. This results in a significant amount of heat generated, particularly at each of the junction points and at the distal tip of the scope.
  • the heat generated, specifically at the distal scope tip and at the junction between the light cable and scope, can present a safety risk to the surgical patient.
  • the heat is such that if the scope is inadvertently rested on the patient for a period of time, a burn can occur. This is an issue with all conventional light sources and every year a few such incidents occur and are reported to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).

  • the disclosure relates to a detection mechanism for operating the illumination source when an endoscope is in use (inside the body of a patient) versus not in use (outside the body of a patient).
  • the disclosure relies on the fact that the working environment is lit solely by the endoscope and its components.
  • communication between the illumination or light source controller and the imaging device, such as a surgical camera, is required.
  • the sensor When the light is turned off and the endoscope is outside the body, the sensor will detect ambient light. Conversely, when the light is turned off and the endoscope is inside the body, the sensor will not detect any light (or will detect only a very low level of light).

  • the light source output intensity can be reduced to a low, safe level while the scope is outside the body and then increased to a high level when inside the body and in use.
  • This implementation may be preferred for usability reasons. Users who are not familiar with the system described herein may suspect a functional problem with the system if the light source is completely off while the scope is not in use.
