The LED illuminator is used to illuminate the site of surgery during minimally invasive procedures
including, but not limited to arthroscopy (orthopedic surgery), laparoscopy (general and
gynecological surgery), and endoscopy (general, gastroenterological, and ENT surgery). Light is
typically transmitted from the illuminator through a fiber optic cable and typically a scope or other
light guide.
The LED illuminator is intended to be used in a controlled operating room environment by qualified
medical personnel. The LED illuminator is provided non-sterile and is not intended to be sterilized.
The system has an expected, but not limited, three-year service life.
The illuminator is not intended to be used for monitoring, diagnostic, or other life support functions.
This device does not sustain nor support life. The device is not intended to compensate for injury,
handicap, replacement or modification of anatomy, or control of conception. No special intervention
is necessary in the event of device failure. As such, this device has no essential performance as

1.2 Functions of Design
The LED-4500 comprises a standalone, mains-powered illuminator. The standard CRI model
produces 2800lm (typical) in the visible spectrum range. The illuminator is typically used with a
fiberoptic light guide that connects to a light port located on the front panel. Light intensity is
controlled via pushbuttons located on the front panel of the console.
