PORTLAND, Maine—Endolume is a portable handheld device that measures the luminous intensity of endoscopic system light sources as well as light transmission through light cables and rigid or flexible endoscopes, and will be on display at the MEDICA trade show in Dusseldorf, Germany, Nov. 17–20. The device is from Lighthouse Imaging Corporation. The instrument enables hospital clinical engineering staff to troubleshoot endoscope system illumination.
“We developed the Endolume with biomedical engineers and technicians in mind,” said Dr. Dennis Leiner, Lighthouse Imaging chief technology officer. “Endolume is simple to use and will enable a biomed to quickly determine which component of an endoscopic system is faulty, ensuring optimal performance, enhancing patient safety and reducing unnecessary service and repair expenses.”
The Endolume instrument kit consists of a custom-designed integrating sphere and light detector, precision light meter, and adapters to connect with all endoscopic equipment common in medical institutions. The meter displays directly in lumens. A rigid carrying case is included.
