MEDICA 2009

LuxteL is pleased to inform you that we will once again be visiting MEDICA. The 2009 show marks our 6th year in attendance as an exhibitor. This year we will be available to talk and visit with you from the USA CEO Center in Hall 16 C 04. The CEO Center provides us the venue to not only demonstrate our new product but to offer our guests a bit of privacy and solace from the noise and confusion on the show floor. Additionally a receptionist is available to book appointments, greet visitors and provide refreshments. A portal in the MEDICA data bank is also provided for you to access all of LuxteL's vital statistics. If you do visit we will be delighted to demonstrate IsoLux's OptiLux, the next generation of fiber optic LED illuminator. This will be OptiLux's first international debut; those who have gotten a sneak peak have been very impressed!

We look forward to this event because it gives us the opportunity to spend time with valuable long standing customers who have truly become friends and to meet and develop new customer relationships. At the show you may reach us through the receptionist at the CEO Center by calling Phone: 0-211-947-1335 or 0-211-947-1336 Fax: 0-211-947-1337. Please feel free to pass these numbers on to your associates. These calls will be answered during the show by the receptionist who will arrange an appointment, if we are not readily available. We encourage you to schedule your visit with us prior to the show by calling LuxteL at 987.774.9136 or by emailing us at plb@luxtel.net , as numerous time slots have already been filled.

Attached, you will find an IsoLux press release for the OptiLux. By show time we will have a few more new product surprises! The LuxteL lamp business has been very busy, new product announcements include; Module Replacements for the Stryker 7000 & 8000 units and the SunOptics' Titan 400, plus Lamps for the Pentax EPKi300. All of which have been flying of the shelves at great prices.

We truly look forward to seeing you in Germany.

Safe Travels,

Press Release

Sept. 1st, 2009

OptiLux is the next generation fiber optic illuminator brought to you by LuxteL; a leader in the field of fiber optic illumination. The OptiLux is a LED device well suited for several platforms. It utilizes a single large area LED chip, custom collection optics that brilliantly couple light into 3- to 6mm fiber optic bundles, a heat sink and fan, linear intensity control and an AC power supply. The OptiLux was developed to replace older technologies; specifically halogen and metal halide lamps and their associated problems with changes in color temperature due to intensity setting and age. The new LED device also eliminates the life and safety disposal issues with the pass mercury lamps.

The OptiLux is designed to be a perfect partner in medical video camera illumination, endoscopy, microscope illumination and UV illumination for photo sensitive chemical reactions such as UV curing and dental whitening.

The major benefits of the OptiLux are its ability to reduce power consumption by up to 50% and long life; up to 45,000 hours chip life leading to reduced cost of ownership. No significant wavelengths are generated outside the desired range, making wavelengths and color temperature tailored for your application. The front panel displays the intensity and has soft tactile up / down buttons providing total intensity control ranging from 10 to 100%. An 8ft by 5mm fiber cable provides 130K lux when pumped by a white (6000k) chip.

The OptiLux is portable and very low cost compared to traditional illuminators. LuxteL is pleased to add the OptiLux medical unit to a wide range of well established Isolux products. FDA approval is expected during Q4 of '09 following 510K application.

LuxteL welcomes OEM inquiries.


 

New Camera System, TriLux

LuxteL is proud to launch their new range of camera products containing several firsts.

There is a growing trend in ORs to record surgeries for teaching, patient outcome improvements and to document patient treatment. To facilitate this we offer these three new cameras, reasonably priced with a common control unit and a common illuminator.

The CardioVu is a small camera encapsulated by optical fibers which bring xenon light and camera directly to the field of surgery, where they are clamped via a goose neck clamp to a retractor. The advantages are that the site is continuously in view at all times (not just when the surgeon is illuminating the field), the image is parallax free since the light and camera are concentrically placed, and the surgeon does not suffer from neck fatigue during long procedures. The EndoVu is a universal Endoscopic camera for fixation to many of the rigid endoscopes in use today. The LuxVu is a headlight camera, mounted with fiber optic xenon illumination. At less than one ounce this offers the most comfortable and the most powerful head set in the industry.

A further advantage comes from the commonality of the controller and illuminator, allowing surgery centers to have a wide selection of inexpensive video and xenon lighting solutions, and with all the flexibility of more dedicated equipment without loss in performance.
