Surgery Camera

Product Description:
This product uses laser illumination to get real time medical imaging of the sample.

Our Responsibilities:
Syncroness assisted in taking the clinical trial version of the system hardware and software to market. Syncroness provided debugging, additional features, electronic re-design, documentation for the FDA and created test fixtures.

Key System Functions:

  • The real time imaging processing software was written in C and Java and runs on Mandrake Linux.
  • The GUI allows clinitians to view video of the sample in real time at 10 frames per second.
  • RFID is used to ensure the integrity of disposables.
  • The system allows sixty seconds of instant replay.
  • It will save video to disk.
  • It uses high pass, low pass and hex filters as well as single point offset correction.
  • Based on a real time subtraction frame to remove background noise and artifacts from the video.
  • The system contains custom circuit boards for powering touchscreens, driving the laser, splitting out DVI signals and interfacing to the RFID hardware and to the camera over LVDS.

Development Details:

  • Syncroness wrote Java and C code to address new feature requirements and fix bugs in the system.
  • We designed electronics to create a power supply for the touchscreen monitors that leveraged the medical grade PC power supply in the device.
  • We created a test fixture for simulating error conditions for use in validation.
  • We also assisted in EMC mitigation.
  • The device is based on a Pentium 4 platform.

Results:
The electronics and software portions of the system are validated for release for sale.
