HALOGEN 250 twin: A Reliable Lighting Solution for Endoscopy
The HALOGEN 250 twin by Karl Storz is a cold light source designed to meet the demands of endoscopic examinations in medical settings. With a color temperature of approximately 3400 K, it ensures optimal visibility during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This device is particularly valued for its ability to provide consistent and high-performance illumination through its dual-lamp system.
When one lamp reaches the end of its lifecycle or fails, a backup halogen lamp automatically activates, ensuring uninterrupted illumination. This feature is crucial for the smooth conduct of medical interventions and minimizes risks associated with loss of lighting.
The design of the HALOGEN 250 twin emphasizes ease of use and compatibility with various optical cables. Karl Storz recommends using its own cables for optimal performance, but adapters are available for cables from other manufacturers. The device is compact and robust, with dimensions of 310 mm x 110 mm x 275 mm and a weight of 7.1 kg, making it easy to integrate into various medical environments.
In terms of safety, the HALOGEN 250 twin complies with the European Medical Devices Directive (MDD 93/42/EEC) and is classified as a Class I medical device. It is designed to operate with a supply voltage of 100/120/230/240 V AC and a nominal power of 250 W. Its overload protection system and compliance with electromagnetic compatibility requirements ensure reliable and safe use.
The device should only be used in environments that comply with applicable electrical standards, and it is recommended not to place it in close proximity to other electromedical equipment to avoid interference. Its ventilation system must remain unobstructed to prevent overheating, which could lead to automatic shutdown.
Additional accessories, such as adapters for light cables from other manufacturers, are available separately. Thanks to its reliability and practical design, it seamlessly integrates into medical environments where endoscopy plays a central role in patient diagnosis and treatment.
