Hardware

The Karl Storze Sympathectomy Set is a precision-engineered surgical instrument system designed for minimally invasive thoracic sympathectomy procedures. The set comprises a high-precision titanium alloy clip applier with a 5mm diameter shaft, featuring a 360° rotational capability for optimal access in confined thoracic spaces. The applier is manufactured from medical-grade titanium alloy (ASTM F136) with a surface hardness of 300-350 HV, ensuring durability under repeated autoclaving cycles at 134°C for 3 minutes. The clip applier incorporates a ratcheted mechanism with a 2.5N·cm torque rating, providing consistent clip deployment force of 1.8-2.2N. The set includes a reusable 5mm titanium trocar with a 10mm working length, featuring a non-stick coating (PTFE-based) to prevent tissue adhesion. The trocar's insufflation port supports CO2 pressures up to 15 mmHg. The system is designed for compatibility with 5mm 30° Hopkins II telescopes (Karl Storz model 26003BA), enabling high-def...

Software / Upgrade / OS / Applications / Worklist

This mechanical device does not incorporate integrated software or electronic components. However, the system is designed for seamless integration with Karl Storz OR1 integration platforms, enabling real-time video capture, documentation, and DICOM-compliant image storage. The clip applier's deployment mechanism is visually confirmed through the Hopkins II telescope's optical system, which can be connected to Karl Storz Image1 HUB CCU or similar video processors for high-definition recording. The device supports compatibility with Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) via standard DICOM 3.0 protocols, facilitating integration with hospital radiology information systems. All components are designed to meet IEC 60601-1-2 electromagnetic compatibility standards for safe operation in electrosurgical environments. The system does not require calibration or firmware updates, ensuring consistent performance throughout its operational lifespan.
