da Vinci Vision System Cart, a component of the da Vinci Si Surgical System IS3000; Y1903 Illuminator (Illuminator + Lamp Module); Y1902 Replacement Lamp Modules. Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA. As a component of the IS3000 da Vinci Si Surgical System, the 3DHD Vision System provides a high resolution image for the surgeon (at the 3D viewer) and the patient-side assistant (at the touchscreen). The 3DHD endoscope assembly (endoscope and camera head) can be used manually (that is, handheld, as with a traditional endoscopy cart) or can be mounted on the camera arm to assist with preoperative exploration. Also integrated in the Vision System Cart is the Illuminator. The illuminator has a single light source attached to the endoscopy assembly by the light guide cable. It provides illumination inside the body for vision of the surgical field. The Illuminator monitors the life left on the lamp module and notifies the customer when replacement is recommended.
