Front glass (Saphir cover glass) Lens Spacer 2 RUDOLF Medical ZK 582 EN Rev. 10.2023 Endoscopes The visible difference in endoscopy The continuous development of camera technology with ever higher image resolution requires endoscopes of the highest quality and precision. RUDOLF endoscopes are high-tech devices consisting of optical and mechanical precision parts. All components are perfectly adjusted to achieve a perfect image. Whether HD or 4K endoscopes from RUDOLF all endoscopes convince with high detail and colour rendering in all image areas. RUDOLF endoscopes are „Made in Germany“ from the ground up. In addition to using the highest quality components from leading manufacturers, our endoscopes are manufactured using state-ofthe-art technology. Assembly is carried out under clean room-like conditions using the latest laser welding technology. Nevertheless, our endoscopes are also a piece of individual handwork, carried out by highly qualified specialists.
Low-reflection metal and glass components Length compensation system Eye piece Rod lenses Light cable connection Color coding for angle of view 3 RUDOLF Medical ZK 582 EN Rev. 10.2023 Endoscopes The visible difference in endoscopy Rigid endoscopes consist of a tube shaft containing several optical components. These so-called rod lenses are made of special high-quality sapphire glass and consist of several glued elements. The built-in lens also consists of various prisms and defines the direction and the angle of view of the endoscope. A specially calculated arrangement of the entire lens system ensures the best image quality. The illumination of the operating field is provided by the finest glass fibres, which are also built into the tube shaft of the endoscope. A glass cone, integrated in the so-called light guide connection, bundles the light, which is generated by the cold light source and which is transported via a light cable. Thust this glass cone ensures optimal viewing conditions in situ. To protect the inside of the optical system from dirt and moisture, RUDOLF endoscopes are sealed under vacuum conditions and closed with gold solder using a special laser welding technique. In daily use, this manufacturing process allows machine reprocessing and sterilisation in an autoclave at temperatures up to 134°C.

Careful handling of the optics is therefore even more crucial for a long service life. Strong mechanical stresses such as impacts/hits or strong bending, as well as improper reprocessing, demage the highly precise and complex endoscopes. Optical repairs are time-consuming and cause costs that are often avoidable. In addition to careful handling, the care and storage of your endoscopes are of great importance. Therefore RUDOLF also offers you the right accessories to protect your investments from unwanted damage. Accessories

This will help you to quickly recognise whether an endoscope is already defective and whether this endoscope needs to be repaired. In this way, you ensure that the optics that will be used are fully functional and provide the surgeon with an optimal view. Rod lens fracture Abrasion by ultrasound Perfect condition Humidity Inspection of the rod lens system Placing a magnifying glass on the eye piece Slowly changing the distance from the magnifier glass to the eye piece Focusing the magnifier on the entrance opening (cover glass) Different damage patterns may become visible Magnifier for visual check ZW 024
15 Avoid mechanical influences A fall or strong bending of the tube usually results in breakage of the sensitive rod lenses made of glass! An endoscope is a highly sensitive optical device that does not forgive improper handling. One or more broken rod lenses interrupt the image transmission and significantly deteriorate the image! Never pre-clean in ultrasound Never place rigid endoscopes in the ultrasound for pre-cleaning. The high sound frequencies loosen the adhesions of the rod lenses inside and produce a cloudy image. Use only approved cleaning agents Only use cleaning agents that are approved for cleaning our optics! You will find these in our reprocessing instructions! Incorrect cleaners may attack soldered or glued joints and cause leaks! Respect the specified exposure time of cleaning agents Pay attention to the exposure times of the cleaning agents specified by the manufacturer and rinse carefully afterwards. Cleaners often attack the materials of endoscopes if they are left on for too long. Here, too, leaks can occur due to attacked soldered or glued joints. Protect endoscopes from HF or rotating instruments Users should take care not to touch endoscopes with rotating instruments (e.g. shavers). The sharp cutting edges damage the endoscopes and cause leaks through which moisture penetrates into the interior of the optics. Touching the endoscope with current-carrying instruments (e.g. HF probes) also causes permanent damage. Clean and remove coatings from the fibre optics connections Remove coatings from the fibre optic connections and make sure that the optical fibres of the endoscope and the optical cables used are intact. Defective light fibres (black dots) cannot transport light and convert the light energy into heat. The correct size of the light cable also helps to avoid excessive heat generation! With every use, reprocessing or sterilisation, endoscopes are exposed to thermal, chemical or mechanical stress. Nevertheless, we grant you a durability of 1000 cycles with proper and careful handling.
