Detailed Analysis Report of General and Micro Surgical Instrument Sets

Device Identification and Product Description

The products shown in the visuals are comprehensive multi-piece surgical instrument sets made of stainless steel, used in surgical operations. The products are presented in red, compartmentalized, roll-up special surgical instrument bags (pouches). The sets are evaluated in two main categories:

• Group 1 (Visual 1): A set consisting of scissors, forceps, needle holders, and retractors, suitable for general surgery, dressing, and soft tissue interventions, tracked with numbered labels.
• Group 2 (Visuals 2 and 3): More finely crafted sets understood to be specific to micro-surgery and especially Ophthalmology (Eye Surgery); consisting of calipers, blepharostats (eyelid retractors), delicate micro scissors, and micro forceps.

Reference Codes and Technical Information

The manufacturer’s brand name is not clearly legible as text (e.g., Aesculap, Storz) in the visuals. However, technical reference codes (REF codes) and tracking numbers engraved on the instruments using a laser etching method have been clearly identified:

• MC-3075: Code seen on a surgical caliper (marking compass).
• PC-2014: Code located on the handle of a micro-surgical instrument.
• PC-3004, PC-3005, PC-3023: References found on various fine-tipped hand instruments. The CE mark, indicating compliance with European standards, is visible on the product with code PC-3004.
• FC-2001, FC-2007: Codes seen on angled micro-instruments, similar to a hockey stick tip.
• Tracking Numbers: In the first visual set, white labels are placed on the elastic bands holding the instruments. These labels are numbered from 2 up to 93 (following the label sequence). Some of the visible labels include: 2, 10, 13, 24, 31, 46, 67, 71 etc. This indicates that the set is arranged according to a specific inventory list.

Areas of Use

Upon examining the design and forms of these instruments, they have been identified as suitable for the following areas of use:

• Ophthalmology (Eye) and ENT: The fine-tipped scissors (Vannas or Castroviejo type), eyelid retractors (Blepharostat), laryngeal mirrors, and delicate calipers in visuals 2 and 3 indicate that these instruments are used in microsurgery, cataract surgery, eyelid aesthetics, or ear, nose, and throat examinations.
• General Surgery: The larger-sized scissors, toothed forceps, hemostatic forceps, and scalpel handles in visual 1 are used for general tissue cutting, bleeding control, and suturing procedures.

Quantity and Content Information

The total number of instruments in the visuals is quite high. Each roll-up bag contains numerous grouped pieces:

• Visual 1 (General Set): Approximately 50 to 60 instruments are present in total across five separate flaps. This bag is organized with a numbering system.
• Visual 2 (Micro Set Section 1): Approximately 25-28 instruments are visible. These include speculums and fine-tipped instruments.
• Visual 3 (Micro Set Section 2): Approximately 25-30 instruments are present. Dental mirrors/laryngeal mirrors, calipers, and delicate holders are located in this section.
• Overall Total: Considering all visuals, it has been analyzed that the sets contain a total of more than 100 pieces of surgical instruments.

General Condition and State

The analysis of the physical and cosmetic condition of the instruments is as follows:

• Metal Components: Surgical instruments are made of stainless steel. No significant corrosion, rusting, or deep physical damage (bending, breakage) has been observed in the visuals. The metal surfaces retain their shine, suggesting good chrome quality.
• Signs of Use: The instruments should be categorized as “used.” However, they are clean and give the impression of having been regularly maintained.
• Bags (Organizers): The internal elastic bands of the red fabric/velvety bags where the instruments are stored are holding the instruments securely. While the bags appear sturdy, natural signs of use and slight deformities where instruments rest on the fabric should be considered normal. No tears or heavy stains have been detected.

Accessories and Components

The main elements included in the instrument set are the surgical hand instruments themselves. Additionally:

• Laryngeal / Dental Mirrors: Mirror-tipped examination instruments are present in the upper right part of Visual 3.
• Caliper: A screw-adjustable metal caliper used for measurement is present.
• Carrying Case: The products are contained within roll-up, red, compartmentalized fabric organizers (pouches). These bags may be suitable for the sterilization process.

Current and Potential Risk Analysis

During the visual inspection of the products, no immediate risk of malfunction or inoperability (e.g., a broken scissor tip, a detached forceps lock) has been identified. Their mechanical components (scissor joints, spring mechanisms) appear to be in place. The tips of microsurgical instruments are extremely delicate; while micron-level bending cannot be definitively confirmed from the visual, the risk of damage has been minimized due to their regular storage.
