Polaris® 100/200 Medical Lights and Video

In the operating room, the right illumination is essential for success.The Polaris® 100/200 surgical illumination systems provide cool light with natural colours and rich-contrast for thousands of hours of carefree operation without straining on your hospital‘s budget.

LED technology in the OR

LEDs are highly efficient light sources for surgical applications. Dräger has now combined the advantages of this innovative light source with a new, extremely compact, lightweight yet robust design that includes individual lens reflectors for enhanced output and shadow control. Even the little heat produced by the LEDs is regulated and dissipated by an integrated Thermal Management System. The maximum light head temperature (upper surface) will not exceed 35 °C*. With an average operational lifetime of 50,000 hours, this LED technology is as reliable as affordable. * At a room temperature of 20 °C.

The Polaris 100

The all new, highly compact Polaris 100 features 48 LEDs with an output range of 40,000 to 120,000 lux. A special mode provides ambient light from a single LED to support minimal invasive procedures. The sleek yet very sturdy light head weights just 13 kg and makes positioning exremely easy and comfortable. Withoutany moving parts in the light head this system requires almost no maintenance. With a color temperature of 5,600 K, which corresponds to natural sunlight at noon, this OR light achieves a color rendering index of Ra 95 nd a color rendition index of R9 93, which ensure rich contrast and natural color image without compromising the red tones.

The Polaris 200

Without changing the external dimensions or design, the Polaris 200 gives you additional 18 LEDs for a total of 66. This translates to a maximum output of 160,000 lux. The light intesity can be easily dimmed down to 40,000 lux. Color temperature and rendering index are identical to those of the Polaris 100. Each LED is equipped with its own lens reflector system. The homogenous light column of both lights provides the surgeon with a shadow-controlled, contour-rich, natural color view of the surgical field.

Compact design, simple operation

The classic round design includes integrated handles for nonsterile personnel and touch panel controls for easy handling and operation. Sterile personnel can position the Polaris 100/200 easily with the central sterile handle. Each of the four clearly marked control buttons performs a single function, and an optional, wall- ounted control panel is also available. The smooth, seamless casing makes cleaning quick and simple, while its lightweight construction ensures practically effortless positioning.

Easy installation and maintenance

The straightforward design philosophy of the Polaris 100/200 makes installation and maintenance very easy.The light heads are controlled by the proven Powerline Communication (PLC) system.

An entire world of care

You’re playing a vital role in an increasingly complex healthcare system. Your job is to provide state-of-the-art care every step of the way, and to do it in the most cost-effective way possible. So why settle for a solution that wasn’t built around your needs and the needs of your patients? In today’s highly integrated hospital environment, anaesthetists ften find themselves at the very core of a highly complex process. Faced with factors such as new and demanding procedures and techniques, increased patient throughput, spiraling costs and even personnel shortages, efficiency has become one of the most important goals for any modern healthcare institution. But being efficient requires an tima- te knowledge of the processes involved – and finding ele- ant solutions that precisely address those problems. At Dräger, it’s something we’ve been doing for over a centu- y. After listening medical professionals around the world,we decided to create an anesthesia workstation that was designed to be nothing less than your personal anesthesia assistant.

Introducing the Dräger Primus®

SUPPORT The Dräger Primus combines time-tested design with state- of-the-art technology to answer the demand for an innovative, comprehensive anesthesia solution for today’s increasingly complex medical environments. Its ergonomic design provides reliable workflow support in practically every phase of the OR process. CARE The advanced, ICU-quality ventilation and monitoring capabilities offered by the Primus workstation make it perfectly suited for adults, children and neonates of any acuity level. SIMPLICITY The Primus features the familiar user interface concept common to all current Dräger medical devices. Its clear, intuitive structure supports a rapid familiarization process, making it easier for your staff to learn to operate. EFFICIENCY Preparation, documentation, pre- and postoperative routines and maintenance are essential components of the OR process. Its fully automated self check feature is just one example of this kind of process support. Because the Primus incorporates an electrically driven piston ventilator, it requires no drive gas. With the Primus, you’ll quickly discover and utilize efficiency reserves in your perioperative workflow that will help you create a cost-effective working environment.
