Product Description and Intended Use
The Stryker L9000 Light Source is a light-generating unit designed to illuminate
surgical sites during endoscopic applications. The L9000 uses light-emitting diode
(LED) technology to generate bright, crisp light, which it delivers to the surgical site
via a fiberoptic light cable. The L9000 is compatible with all Stryker light cables,
and, with the proper light cable and adapters, can connect to any flexible or rigid
endoscope.
The L9000 is equipped with Electronic Scope Sensing Technology (ESST), a
special safety feature that helps prevent accidental burns caused by a light cable
that is not connected to the scope. For more information, refer to the section
“Checking the ESST Feature”. When operated with an ESST light cable, the L9000
senses when the scope and the light cable are separated and places the light source
in Standby mode. In Standby mode, the L9000 will reduce light output to a
minimum, preventing the light cable from generating excessive heat.
