ZEISS MediLive Surgical Microscope and Camera System Analysis Report

Device Identification and Product Description

The device shown in the visuals is a medical microscope and imaging system mounted on a mobile floor stand with articulated arms. The device consists of an optical magnification unit, a mechanical arm system supporting this unit, a wheeled base providing stability on the floor, and an electronic control unit. The “Camera Control Unit” inscription on the system and the camera adaptation in the optical section indicate that this device is primarily configured for surgical imaging, colposcopy, or video transmission for examination purposes.

Brand and Model Information

As a result of detailed visual inspection, the following brand and model information has been definitively identified:

• Main Brand: ZEISS (Confirmed from logos on the optical head, control unit, and lens mounting ring.)
• Electronic Unit Model: ZEISS MediLive Camera Control Unit (Clearly written on the device’s control box.)
• Optical System: The device’s optical head features a classic ZEISS microscope architecture; however, since the model number (e.g., OPMI 1, OPMI Pico, etc.) is not present on a visible label in the visuals, only the brand “ZEISS” has been specified.

Areas of Use

This system is designed for use in medical examinations and surgical operations requiring detailed vision. Due to its camera unit, it is suitable for the following specialties that require image transmission to a monitor:

• Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) examinations and surgery.
• Gynecology (Colposcopy applications).
• General microsurgery procedures and educational video recording.

In its current configuration, the device appears to be set up for transmitting the image to a digital or analog display (video out).

Physical Condition and Cosmetic Inspection

The cosmetic condition of the device is assessed as “used.” There are noticeable signs of use on the body:

• Control Unit: On the white metal casing of the ZEISS MediLive unit, particularly on the top and side surfaces, there are noticeable black scuff marks, scratches, and stains. There are also areas of paint wear.
• Lower Body and Base: The device’s dark grey “H”-type floor stand shows superficial scratches and abrasions, likely caused by impacts. The wheel mechanisms and plastic guards are intact but show signs of wear due to use.
• Mechanical Arms: The white painted articulated arms generally appear clean, but dulling and slight dirt accumulation are noticeable at the joints and on the paint surface, likely formed over time.

Mechanical and Electronic Component Analysis

The technical analysis based on the visuals is as follows:

• Mobility: The device is seen resting on four wheels, each equipped with a locking brake or stabilizing foot. The mechanical arm structure (pantograph arm) allows the optical head to be positioned as desired. A burgundy-colored metal carrying handle is present for steering the device.
• Optical Setup: At the front of the microscope head, a black lens/adapter system with “Zeiss” written on it is visible. The binocular (dual eyepiece) part of the optical head is not seen in the current setup in the visuals; instead, a camera head integrated for imaging may be present.
• Electronic Controls: The control unit features a “Brightness” adjustment knob, a “Video” signal indicator light, a “White Balance” button, and an on/off switch. The physical integrity of the buttons is preserved.
• Connections and Cables: A grey, spiral cable line (likely for camera signal and power) extends from the control unit to the microscope head. Additionally, a BNC-type connector input for image transmission via the “Video Out” port is visible. A multi-pin cable is connected to the “Camera Head” input.

Accessories and Part Condition

The content of the setup in the visual is as follows:

• 1 mobile floor stand and column.
• 1 articulated acrobatic arm system.
• 1 microscope optical body.
• 1 ZEISS MediLive Camera Control Unit (Mounted on the arm).
• 1 image/camera connection cable (spiral-protected).

Missing Item Alert: The “Binocular Observation Tubes” (Eyepieces) that allow the physician to observe directly in standard microscope use are not present in the setup shown in these visuals, or they have been replaced by a camera adapter. In its current state, the device is only suitable for observation via a monitor.

Overall Condition and Conclusion

The device is a ZEISS branded imaging system, which is a professional medical equipment. It is evident that the device is second-hand, particularly due to cosmetic deformities (scratches and stains) on the camera control unit. No visually critical damage has been detected in its mechanical structure (e.g., breaks, cracks, missing screws). However, the absence of binocular observation parts in the visuals indicates that the product has been configured for video endoscopy or video microscopy purposes rather than direct visual examination. The buyer should consider that the device will operate with a monitor connection or that the missing binocular tubes may need to be acquired externally.
