SURGICAL LIGHTING SYSTEM THAT REDUCES RISK OF EXCESSIVE RADIANT ENERGY

A light system monitors an area of interest for exposure to radiant energy provided by an operating room light head. At least one operating parameter of the light head is obtained, and based on the at least one operating parameter it is determined if the area of interest has been or will be exposed...

Zusammenfassung:A light system monitors an area of interest for exposure to radiant energy provided by an operating room light head. At least one operating parameter of the light head is obtained, and based on the at least one operating parameter it is determined if the area of interest has been or will be exposed to radiant energy exceeding a prescribed threshold over a prescribed time period. Based on the determination, the system at least one of automatically adjusts an operating setting of the at least one light head or generates a warning of possible overexposure to radiant energy in the area of interest.
