MAHE Endoscopy and Laparoscopy Tower Set (MDC-30, MDX100, Insufflator 1400, Purgator 5100) Analysis Report

Device Identification

The visuals show 4 (four) medical device units stacked on top of each other, compatible and forming a set, along with accessories belonging to this system. These devices collectively form the main components (imaging, light, gas, and fluid management) of an endoscopy/laparoscopy tower. The devices are displayed on a metal shelving system, but the analysis only covers the electronic devices and their connected accessories.

Brand and Model

As a result of a detailed visual inspection, it has been determined that all devices belong to the same manufacturer and that the model information for each unit is clearly written on the front panels. The brand and models of the devices are as follows:

• Brand: MAHE (The “MAHE” logo and typical “H” emblem are clearly visible on the front top right corners of the devices). Furthermore, it is stated on the panels that the devices are “made in germany”.
• Camera Control Unit (Top): MAHE MDC-30 (The inscription “MDC-30” is present on the front panel).
• Light Source (Second Row): MAHE MDX100 (The inscriptions “MDX100” and “DIGITAL XENON light” are present on the front panel).
• Insufflator (Third Row): MAHE INSUFFLATOR 1400 (The inscription “INSUFFLATOR 1400” is written on the top left corner).
• Aspiration and Irrigation Pump (Bottom): MAHE PURGATOR 5100 (The inscription “PURGATOR 5100” is written on the top left corner).

Originality

The MAHE logos on the products, panel designs, fonts used, and the print quality of the “made in germany” inscriptions indicate that the products are original MAHE Medical production. The labeling and industrial design are consistent with the brand’s overall product language.

Areas of Use

This set is designed for use in minimally invasive surgical operations (laparoscopy, endoscopy). The functions of the devices are as follows:

• MDC-30: This is the camera control unit that processes the signal coming from the endoscopic camera head and transmits it to the monitor.
• MDX100: This is a high-intensity Xenon light source that illuminates the operation area via a fiber optic cable.
• INSUFFLATOR 1400: This device inflates the abdominal cavity with carbon dioxide (CO2) gas during laparoscopic surgeries, creating a working space.
• PURGATOR 5100: This is a pump system that aspirates (suction) fluids from the surgical area or irrigates (washes) the area.

Quantity Information

The visuals show a total of 4 main devices (Camera processor, Light source, Insufflator, Pump) and 2 main accessories (Camera head, Light cable).

General Condition and Physical Deformations

Upon examining the cosmetic conditions of the devices, two different levels of wear are observed:

• Top Two Devices (MDC-30 and MDX100): Their casings are gray metallic and appear quite clean. No yellowing is observed in the plastic components. The inscriptions are not faded.
• Bottom Two Devices (Insufflator 1400 and Purgator 5100): These devices’ front panels exhibit typical “yellowing” of the plastic material, resulting from interaction with heat or light over time. This condition is particularly noticeable on the plastic frames in the bottom right and bottom left corners of the devices. However, no cracks or breakages have been detected.
• General: All buttons, switches, and socket inputs are in place and physically sound. No significant rusting or deep scratches are noticeable on the metal casings.

Mechanical and Electronic Components

In the visuals, the devices are in an off state (screens are not active). Therefore, electronic function testing cannot be performed. However, during physical inspections:

• Buttons: The intensity adjustment knob on the light source, the buttons on the camera unit (WB, WIN, AGC), and the membrane keypads on the insufflator (Reset, Set, +/-) appear physically sound.
• Screens: The display panels (for flow rate, pressure, etc.) on the insufflator device (Device 3) are dark (due to being off), but their glass surfaces show no cracks or breakages.
• Sockets: The camera input, light cable output, and gas/liquid hose outputs appear clean, with no dents or deformations.

Accessories

The accessories located on the system and understood to be part of the set are as follows:

• 1 Camera Head and Cable: A black, MAHE brand camera head suitable for the camera unit (MDC-30) is visible. The head has a focusing ring. Its cable is gathered with a black rubber band.
• 1 Fiber Optic Light Cable: A thick, blue light cable is present. The metal tips entering the light source (MDX100) appear sound.
• Warnings: A German warning label “Vor Öffnen Netzstecker ziehen!” (Unplug before opening!) is present on the top cover of the devices.

Potential Malfunction Risk

The discoloration (yellowing) on the plastic panels of the bottom two devices suggests that these devices may be older productions compared to the top ones, or have been exposed to more environmental factors (heat, sunlight). However, this condition is generally cosmetic and does not directly impede the device’s operation. The absence of any breakage at the bending points of the light cable is a positive observation.

Year of Manufacture and Origin

Although a direct production date label cannot be read on the devices, the “made in germany” inscription on the front panels definitively states their origin. The design language and the display technology used indicate that the devices belong to a modern yet pre-latest generation technology era.
