Richard Wolf 5520 1 CCD Endocam Camera System Analysis Report

Device Identification

The product examined in the visuals is an endoscopy camera control unit (CCU) and an attached camera head, falling under the category of medical imaging systems. The set consists of a main processor unit and one camera head with its integrated cable.

Brand and Model Information

As a result of detailed visual analysis, the brand and model information of the device are as follows:

• Device Brand: The RICHARD WOLF logo and “R.WOLF” inscription are clearly visible on the front panel of the unit and the body of the camera head.
• Device Model: The number 5520 is written in large fonts on the right front face of the main unit, and immediately below it, the inscription “1 CCD ENDOCAM” indicates the product’s technology.
• Camera Head Brand: The inscription R.WOLF is engraved on the metal body of the camera head.

Originality and Workmanship

The logo prints on the device, panel labels, the quality of connector slots, and the typical Richard Wolf red corner protection rubbers indicate that the product is an original Richard Wolf production. There is no visual evidence (poor print quality, incompatible parts) of an aftermarket or copy product.

Areas of Use

This device is a Richard Wolf 5520 model endoscopy camera system. It enables the processing and transmission of images captured from inside the body to a monitor during endoscopic procedures in specialties such as general surgery, urology, gynecology, orthopedics (arthroscopy), and ENT. The camera head in the visual, with its sterilizable structure, captures images by connecting to optics such as an endoscope or arthroscope.

Quantity Information

The set content seen in the visuals includes:

• 1 unit Richard Wolf 5520 Camera Control Unit (Main device)
• 1 unit Richard Wolf Camera Head and Integrated Connection Cable
• Total Number of Parts: 2 main parts (The power cable is not present in the visuals).

Overall Condition

The general cosmetic condition of the device can be evaluated as “Good”. The paint of the white metal casing is generally clean. All red rubber protectors, located at the corners of the device and serving as shock absorbers, are present. No significant signs of wear and tear are observed on the device; it is in the condition of a used but well-maintained medical device.

Physical Deformation Examination

During the examination conducted through the visuals, no significant dents, cracks, or deep scratches were detected on the metal parts of the casing. The red corner rubbers show minor age-related dust, but there are no tears or missing parts. No visible peeling, cracking, or cable sheath damage was observed on the outer insulation of the camera head’s cable part.

Mechanical and Electronic Components

Mechanical: The focusing ring and the coupler mechanism on the camera head appear visually intact. The rubber parts of the control buttons located on the camera head are in place and do not appear worn.
Electronic: The input-output ports (sockets) on the rear panel appear clean; no physical damage such as rust or bent pins can be discerned. The gold-plated pin receptacles of the camera connection port on the front panel are visually clean.

Connection Ports and Technical Interfaces (Rear Panel Analysis)

The connection points on the rear panel of the device indicate that it is designed for professional image transmission and system integration. Available ports:

• Power Input: Standard power cable input and a T1.0A fuse slot immediately above it.
• Control and Data Ports: Inputs for the CAN-BUS system, RS 232 I and II ports (for computer or printer connection), Remote output.
• Video Outputs:
  • VIDEO (BNC type analog outputs – 2 units)
  • S-VIDEO (Mini-DIN connector – 2 units)
  • RGB / COMPONENT output (D-Sub type)
  • GENLOCK input
  • DV output (Firewire/i.Link port for Digital Video transfer)

Accessories

The most important accessory of the system, the camera head, is included with the device. The mechanical “coupler” (connector) required for attaching optics is installed at the tip of the camera head. However, the standard electrical power cable necessary to operate the device and the video cables to transmit images to a monitor are not present in the visuals.

Label Information

Technical data obtained from the labels and prints on the device:

• Fuse: T1.0A H / 250V
• Panel Inscriptions: LED Light (This inscription likely relates to the device’s panel illumination or a feature of the camera head; the device is not an external light source unit, but a camera processor).
• Rear Panel Groups: Grouped as “IN/OUTPUT”, “CONTROL”, “SYSTEM”.

Current Fault and Risk Assessment

There is no concrete evidence in the visuals such as a “System Error” warning, broken part, burn marks, or corrosion indicating that the device is faulty. While the condition of the pins in the device’s camera cable connector cannot be definitively confirmed (due to lack of macro shots), the overall appearance is clean. However, in medical imaging systems, the lifespan of the image sensor (CCD) and the quality of fiber optic transmission can only be determined through testing. No deformation posing a risk (e.g., cable crushing) was observed during the physical examination.

Conclusion and Summary

The product displayed is a Richard Wolf 5520 model endoscopy camera unit and its original camera head. The device is in good cosmetic condition, and all its ports and buttons appear complete. It is the main component forming the imaging chain of endoscopic surgical sets.
