Karl Storz Image1 S Connect TC 200 Imaging Module Analysis Report

Device Identification

The device shown in the visuals is an advanced camera control unit or image management module used in medical endoscopy and imaging systems. From the inscriptions on the device, it is understood that this is the “Connect” module, one of the central parts of an endoscopy tower system. This unit serves as one of the main interfaces connecting components such as camera heads and light sources to the digital imaging system.

Brand and Model

As a result of a detailed examination of the prominent logos and typography on the device’s front panel, the brand and model information has been definitively identified:

• Brand: KARL STORZ
• Product Group: Image1 S
• Model Number: TC 200 (Clearly written on the bottom right corner of the front panel)
• Module Type: CONNECT (The inscription “IMAGE1 S CONNECT” is present on the bottom left corner of the front panel)

Originality

The paint quality on the device’s metal casing, the typography of the “STORZ KARL STORZ – ENDOSKOPE” logo, the interface layout on the front panel, and the labeling standards indicate that the product is an original KARL STORZ device. There are no signs of poor quality indicative of aftermarket or counterfeit production.

Areas of Use

The Karl Storz Image1 S Connect TC 200 is used in professional healthcare institutions, hospital operating rooms, and surgical centers. It enables the processing, management, and transmission of endoscopic camera images to a monitor during minimally invasive surgical procedures (laparoscopy, arthroscopy, etc.). This device is not used alone; it functions as part of an endoscopy tower system, along with a compatible camera head, light source, and monitor.

Quantity Information

The quantity of the product examined in the visuals is 1 (one) unit. No other secondary products or accessories are visible in the box contents.

General Condition and State

The device visually appears to be in “used but well-preserved” condition. No significant wear or heavy signs of use were observed on its outer casing. It is in a clean condition, compliant with medical device standards.

Physical Deformation

During the physical examination of the product:

• There are no visible dents, cracks, or breaks on the metal casing.
• There is no noticeable fading or flaking in the device’s paint.
• Upon careful inspection of the top cover, very slight, superficial dust or removable stains may be seen, but these do not constitute permanent damage.
• The gray coating and plastic parts on the front panel are intact, with no signs of wear.

Mechanical Components

The screws holding the device’s outer casing together are in place. A round orange label (possibly an inventory or quality control tag) is affixed to the right side of the front panel. Other than the presence of this label, no element disrupting the mechanical structure has been identified.

Electronic Components and Interfaces

The analysis of the device’s front panel identified the following electronic components:

• Power Button: An area with a “Power” icon is present on the left side.
• Indicators: A “White Balance” icon and a “Camera” icon are visible in the area where the buttons are located.
• Ports: In the middle of the front panel, there are 2 USB input ports (USB-A type). No physical damage or oxidation was visually detected in the internal structure of the ports.
• Status: Since the device is not connected to electricity, its lights are not on, therefore an electronic function test cannot be performed visually.

Accessories

In the visuals, the device’s power cable, video transmission cables (DVI, SDI, etc.), user manual, or original box are not present. Only the main unit of the device is available.

Label Information

The texts read on the front panel are as follows:

• “STORZ KARL STORZ — ENDOSKOPE”
• “image1 S” (The platform the device belongs to)
• “IMAGE1 S CONNECT” (Module name)
• “TC 200” (Model code)
• Special “S” logo (Letter S within a square)

Battery Status

This type of medical console device typically operates with mains electricity (AC) and is not used with an external battery. No indication of a portable power supply or battery unit is found in the visuals.

Potential Failure Risk

The device’s external appearance is robust and clean. Based on visual inspection, no signs indicating an immediate risk of failure (liquid contact traces, burn marks, rust, physical impact) were observed on the casing or ports. The product is cosmetically reassuring. However, it is not possible to draw a definitive conclusion about its internal electronic lifespan based solely on its external appearance.
