The High Intensity Transilluminator OS 3000 delivers adjustable cold light from a 150 watt source for eye surgery and diagnosis.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

The device is used for general illumination, retinal detachment procedures, ophthalmoscopy, localization of intraocular foreign bodies and uveal tumors, gonioscopy, and goniotomy. A right angle prism can be attached to deflect the light 90°, and optional blue, green, yellow, and red narrow bandpass filters are available. The unit operates on 115 or 220 VAC, weighs 8 pounds, and the lamp lasts 200 hours at 75% intensity or 40 hours at full intensity.

Why This Matters

Separate line and lamp switches let the lamp be turned off while the fan continues cooling to extend lamp life. A conversion kit adapts the transilluminator for use with the Schepens Ophthalmoscope OS 700, providing a new lamp housing, a seven foot fiber bundle, and a headband.
