Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum lux output?
The Burton APEX Surgical Light delivers intense, high-fidelity illumination crucial for precise surgical work, reaching a maximum output of 120,000 lux (11,148 footcandles).
Key illumination specifications include:
- Intensity: 120,000 lux output, achieved using four 50-watt halogen bulbs wired in parallel.
- Color Quality: The light provides pure white illumination without blue hues, featuring a high Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 95 and a color temperature of 4,200 Kelvin. This ensures excellent tissue color differentiation.
- Practitioner Comfort: Internal heat shields are integrated to maintain a low temperature, and the irradiance emission is kept below the IEC recommended limit.
Does this surgical light offer drift-free positioning?
Yes, the Burton APEX Surgical Light is engineered with a drift-free arm system to ensure reliable and stable positioning throughout demanding surgical procedures. Once positioned, the arm maintains its stability, preventing unwanted movement.
This system provides precise control and extensive maneuverability:
- Superior Stability: The drift-free design ensures the light remains stationary, crucial for detailed visual acuity.
- Unlimited Rotation: The arm allows for unlimited 360° rotation.
- Extensive Reach: The lamp housing provides a wide swivel radius of 54 inches (137 cm).
- Precise Adjustment: The lamp head can tilt 70°, forward or backward, for optimal angle placement.
- Sterile Focus Control: The light field is easily adjusted via an autoclavable center handle, enabling sterile, single-handed manipulation of the light focus.
Is the handle of the surgical light autoclavable?
Yes, the center handle on the Burton APEX Surgical Light is autoclavable, allowing for easy focus adjustment and sterilization.
What are the specifications for the halogen bulbs?
The Burton APEX surgical light utilizes a highly reliable, four-bulb halogen system to deliver brilliant, consistent illumination.Key specifications for the light source are as follows:<ul><li>Quantity and Type: Four (4) Halogen bulbs.</li><li>Power: Each bulb is rated for 50 watts and operates at 24 volts.</li><li>Bulb Life: The system provides a long bulb life of 1,400 hours.</li></ul>A key design feature for reliability is that the bulbs are parallel-wired. If one bulb fails during a procedure, the remaining three continue to operate, guaranteeing uninterrupted illumination for the surgical field.
What is the rated life of the halogen bulbs?
The halogen bulbs utilized in the Burton APEX Surgical Light are designed for reliable, long-term performance, rated for a life of 1,400 hours.
To ensure continuous, dependable illumination during critical procedures, the system is engineered with:
- Four Halogen Bulbs: Each bulb is specified as 50 watts, 24 V.
- Parallel Wiring: This is a crucial safety feature, ensuring that if one bulb fails, the remaining bulbs continue to operate, guaranteeing uninterrupted light output.
What is the light field diameter and depth?
The Burton APEX Surgical Light is engineered to provide a consistently precise field of illumination during procedures.<ul><li>Light Field Diameter: The diameter is adjustable, ranging from 8 inches to 10 inches (20 cm - 25 cm).</li><li>Depth of Illumination: The light offers an excellent 17 inches (43 cm) depth of illumination without requiring refocusing. This stable depth helps maintain a clear view even during extended operations.</li></ul>
Does the light have major safety approvals?
Yes, the Burton APEX Surgical Light meets several stringent international safety and compliance standards required for rigorous medical environments. These certifications ensure reliable performance and safety for both patients and staff.Major approvals include:
- UL60601-1
- IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-2-41
- CAN/CSA C22.2 601-1 M90
- It is also CE marked.
Crucially, the light’s irradiance emission is certified to be below the IEC recommended limit (< 1000W/m2), even when operating at its highest intensity.
For what ceiling heights is this surgical light available?
The Burton APEX Surgical Light is available in models designed for both 8-foot and 10-foot ceilings.
Is the irradiance emission safe?
Yes, the Burton APEX Surgical Light is engineered to prioritize safety and comfort for both practitioners and patients, particularly concerning thermal and light output.
Key features ensuring safety and low heat include:
- Low Irradiance: The system is certified to operate safely, maintaining irradiance emission below the IEC recommended limit of < 1000W/m² even when running at its highest intensity setting.
- Internal Heat Shields: Integrated internal heat shields effectively manage thermal output, keeping the lamp head temperature low and maximizing comfort during extended procedures.
- Certifications: The product is backed by multiple critical certifications, including UL60601-1 and various IEC standards, confirming its compliance with strict medical device safety requirements.
Does the light ensure true color rendering?
Yes, the Burton APEX Surgical Light provides superior color fidelity, which is critical for accurate tissue differentiation during surgical procedures. It offers pure white illumination without blue hues and achieves high color accuracy through its specifications:
- Illuminance Output: 120,000 lux
- Color Rendering Index (CRI): 95
- Light Color Temperature: 4,200 Kelvin
