KARL STORZ Telecam SL pal and Camera Head Analysis Report
Device Identification
The main product in the visuals is a professional camera control unit (CCU) used in medical endoscopy systems. An endoscopy camera head and its connected cable, positioned to connect to the system, are also present on the unit. This device is a video processor designed for endoscopic surgery and imaging procedures.
Brand and Model
As a result of detailed examination, the brand and model information of the device have been identified as follows:
- Brand: KARL STORZ
- Model: Telecam SL pal
- Reference Number: 202120 20 (Located on the upper right corner of the front panel)
- Serial Number: DF610343-P (Located on the rear label)
Authenticity
The print quality of the logos on the device, the industrially standard port arrangement, the font structure of the “Karl Storz – Endoskope” inscription, and the safety certification labels such as CSA/UL (Medical Equipment Classified by Underwriters Laboratories) on the rear panel indicate that the product is an original Karl Storz product.
Areas of Use
This device is designed for use in medical environments, particularly in operating rooms and endoscopy suites. It enables the transfer of internal body images to a monitor via endoscopes (optics) attached to the tip of the camera head. It is used as an imaging unit in closed surgeries across various specialties such as general surgery, urology, ENT, and gynecology.
Quantity Information
A total of 2 main parts are visible in the images:
- 1 Unit Karl Storz Telecam SL pal Camera Control Unit (Housing)
- 1 Unit Camera Head and Integrated Cable (Resting on the housing)
General Condition and Physical Deformations
The device is a used product and shows cosmetic signs consistent with its age:
- Slight dirt or marks are visible on the top surface of the device’s metal casing, but no deep scratches or dents have been detected.
- The front panel’s plastic frame generally appears clean. No significant cracks are observed in the gray and navy blue sections.
- A blue tape or label-like wrapping is noticeable on the connector part of the camera head placed on the unit. This may suggest that a procedure was previously performed on the connector area or that a distinguishing mark was placed there.
- Warning texts (DANGER, CAUTION, etc.) on the device are legible; there is no fading.
Mechanical and Electronic Components
Based on the visual inspection, the mechanical and electronic details are as follows:
- Front Panel: The “0-I” position power switch (rocker switch) on the left side appears physically sound. The white balance button and function key are present in the middle. The camera input socket on the right side seems mechanically intact.
- Rear Panel: All socket inputs (BNC, S-Video, DIN) on the rear panel are in place. No corrosion or rust is visible on the metal connectors, although some natural dulling due to use may be present.
- Ventilation: The device’s housing structure is closed; no issues like blocked air vents are discernible on visible surfaces.
Accessories and Connection Ports
The product in the visual includes a camera head as an internal accessory, but the power cord is not present in the image. The rich connection options on the rear panel are as follows:
- Video Outputs (OUTPUTS): 5 BNC connectors (RED, GREEN, BLUE, SYNC, and likely COMP Video).
- S-Video: 2 4-pin S-VIDEO outputs.
- ACC Outputs: 2 Jack inputs (BLUE ACC1, SILVER ACC2).
- Keyboard Input: A DIN port labeled KEYBOARD IN.
- SCB Interface: Present (indicating Storz Communication Bus compatibility).
- Power Input: Standard IEC input, along with a fuse holder underneath.
Label Information
The labels on the rear panel provide important technical information:
- Power Rating and Fuse: Although input voltage or current value is not specified, “T1.6A 250V” is clearly indicated for fuse replacement.
- Software Versions: Software version information such as “Dev SW: 670127-67A” and “SCB SW: …” is present on the label.
- Safety Standards: Certified as “Medical Equipment” with a UL logo and “LR104841” CSA file number.
- Serial No: “S/N: DF610343-P”.
Camera Head (Endoscope Tip)
The black-cabled unit resting on the housing is the camera head connected to the system.
The connector structure features a multi-pin mechanism specific to Karl Storz units of that era. The lens part of the camera head is not clear in the visual, but the cable integrity appears to be preserved. The tape detail on the connector body should be carefully examined, as it might indicate an aesthetic defect or a repair sign.
Documents and Manufacturing Year
No invoice, user manual, or warranty certificate is found in the visuals. A clear manufacturing year (e.g., “MFG: 20XX”) is not visible on the label; however, considering the device’s design language and connector types (S-Video, Analog BNC), it is understood to be an older generation technology (likely early to mid-2000s).
Potential Risk of Malfunction
The product visually has a robust housing and shows no signs of drops or impacts. However, the following points should be within the user’s knowledge:
- The device is an analog (PAL) system; it may not be directly compatible with modern Full HD or 4K digital systems, potentially requiring converters or a compatible analog monitor.
- The tape on the camera head connector might indicate a weakness or looseness at the cable connection point, although no cable breakage can be detected from the visual.
- The overall condition of the system appears good.
