4 Functionality and application
4.1
Application
The flexible Video Rhino Laryngoscopes RSX-USB / RSX-P from
orlvision
GmbH (hereinafter re-
ferred to as orlvision) are high-quality medical products. They are used for endoscopic examinations in
human ear, nose and throat medicine. The flexible Video Rhino Laryngoscopes can be used to exam-
ine the nasopharynx. The image of the examination region can be displayed on a PC equipped with a
high-resolution screen via the USB interface.
The RSX-USB laryngoscope is intended for use in clinics and doctors' surgeries and may only be used
by personnel specially trained in handling endoscopes!
Proceed with cleaning and disinfection as described in these instructions for use.
4.2
Image processing
Image processing software is required to display and evaluate the images. The OrlView software is
included in the scope of delivery. This is suitable for displaying the images on the optionally available
panel PC.
4.3
How it works
At the distal end of the Video Rhino Laryngoscope is the exit of a light guide that illuminates the obser-
vation region. The lens allows imaging at a 90° angle of view. The image thus captured is recorded by
a video camera, converted into an electrical signal and made available to a PC via a USB interface.
The light for illuminating the observation region is obtained from an LED integrated in the handpiece.
The distal end of the insertion tube can be angled in a range of +/- 120° by operating the angulation
lever.
Power is supplied via the PC through the USB interface.
Using the optional software, pictures or videos can be displayed and also saved.
