LEICA Surgical Microscope Analysis Report

Device Identification

The device analyzed in the visuals is a mobile surgical microscope used to magnify and illuminate the surgical field during surgical operations. The system consists of a mobile floor stand, an illumination control unit, an articulated arm mechanism, and an optical head. An additional binocular tube is present on the side for an assistant/observer.

Brand and Model

Upon inspection of the device, LEICA brand logos are clearly visible on the optical head, counterbalance arm, and control unit panel. Brand information is 100% verified. Since the specific model number on the labels in the visual is not clearly legible, the model number is not specified.

Originality

The font structure of the “Leica” logos on the product, the device’s unique industrial design, the red maneuver arm, and the placement of the black control unit conform to the manufacturer’s original design language. There is no visual evidence to suggest it is an assembly or a replica.

Areas of Use

This device is designed for use in microsurgical interventions, especially in Neurosurgery, Otorhinolaryngology (ENT), and Ophthalmology. It provides high magnification and focused illumination. The integrated assistant tube allows a second surgeon or assistant to view the same operative field.

Quantity Information

The visual shows 1 main device and its integrated accessories.

General Condition

The device is in used condition. It is second-hand. Significant signs of use and cosmetic wear are present on the body and stand.

Physical Deformation

• Base (Foot): On the navy blue/black metal foot housing, especially on the parts above the wheels, intense paint chipping, friction marks, signs of rust, and paint peeling due to impact are observed.
• Wheels: The wheel tires show dirt and wear due to use.
• Optical Arm and Head: Stains and slight color changes are observed in places on the white metal components.
• Cables: The yellow/orange power cable wrapped around the red carrying arm is disorganized, but no breakage was visually detected.

Mechanical Components

The device’s mobile stand has an “H” type four-wheeled base. Mechanical brake pedals are present on the wheels. The microscope arm system has a multi-jointed (articulated) structure and a counterbalance mechanism. On the optical head, there are two black pistol-grip type handles for the surgeon to maneuver the device. The red metal maneuver arm is fixed to the stand.

Electronic Components

A black power and illumination control unit (Light Source / Control Unit) is mounted on the vertical column. On this unit, there are:

• Green illuminated main power switch (Power Switch),
• Rotary knob for adjusting illumination intensity,
• Control knob for Balance adjustment or a similar function,
• Warning labels.

The internal condition of the electronic unit cannot be determined from the visual.

Accessories

• 1 Main surgical binocular head.
• 1 Side-mounted assistant/observer binocular (Teaching Tube).
• 2 Black maneuvering handles (Handle).
• 1 Objective lens (mounted under the optical head).
• Yellow/Orange colored mains power cable.

Label Information

Red “Leica” inscriptions in handwritten characters are present on the optical arm and panel of the device. On the black control box, there are yellow triangular “Laser/Light Warning” symbols and technical warning labels. However, the fine print on these labels cannot be read due to the visual resolution.

Screen Analysis

There is no digital screen (LCD/LED monitor) on the device. Controls are provided via analog knobs and illuminated switches. On the white box at the bottom, there is a label or panel containing red arrow signs resembling directional keys (up/down/right/left), but it is not clear whether this panel is an active screen; it is likely a motorized focus or zoom control panel.

Dimensions and Compatibility

The device is a full-size surgical microscope suitable for adult use. The height of the floor stand complies with operating room standards.

Year of Manufacture

The exact year of manufacture label is not legible in the visual. However, considering the casing design, the type of the red Leica logo, and the structure of the analog control units, it is understood that the device is not a current model and is likely from a series belonging to the late 1990s or early 2000s.

Existing Fault

No broken part (on optics, arm, or stand) or warning light indicating a system error is visible in the visual. Other than cable disorganization and paint deformities, there is no definite evidence of a fault that would impede functionality.

Potential Fault Risk

The heavy cosmetic wear on the base indicates that the device has been used for a long time and likely under harsh conditions. This situation may pose a risk of wear in the wheel bearings or the mechanical braking system. Cables wrapped externally and unprotected may create a risk of deformation in the internal conductors of the cable. The condition of the lens coatings of the optical parts cannot be confirmed from the visual.
