Quasar® eLite Surgical Operating Lights

British Design & Technology

Quasar® eLite has been designed in Great Britain

with inputs from leading product designers and

practicing surgeons. Quasar® eLite incorporates

collaborative research and technology outputs funded

by the European Commission and performed by World

renowned technology partners.

Made in the UK, Supplied Worldwide

Quasar® eLite is manufactured in a state-of-the-art

facility in Leeds, England by a team with over 65 years

experience in making surgical lights and supplying

them to customers around the world.

Brandon Medical Co Ltd

Quasar® eLite is designed and manufactured by

Brandon Medical, a British company established in

1946. Brandon Medical has won numerous awards

for design and innovation in the field of medical

lighting, medical video systems and integrated

operating rooms.

Brandon Medical has

applied their experience inthe surgical lighting field to

optimise performance during

your surgical procedures.

Why you should choose

Quasar® eLite .

Near Perfect Colour Rendition withRed Balance Control

Quasar® eLite uses the latest HD-LED technology to

provide near perfect colour rendition across the full

visible spectrum. The light is optimised to enhance thevisualisation of red tissue and features Brandon’s

unique Red Balance Control to further enhance

Surgeons’ ability to differentiate between tissues of

similar colour.

Fat Beam Technology

Quasar® eLite delivers much larger illuminated fields

than any other current product, with exceptionally

high intensity across the full width of the illuminated

area. Lights do not need to be continually adjustedwith ample illumination available, even for the largest

surgical sites.

HD Camera “Inside” as Standard

Quasar® eLite includes HD cameras and zoom

controls inside the lamp head as standard to reduce

cost, improve cleanliness, obviate the need for

excessively large handles and restricted rotations.

New video transmission technology provides

un-adulterated HD video quality with a unique system

to eliminate banding interference from LED lighting

modulation.

Designed to Minimise Infections

Quasar® eLite has been designed to minimise

sources of infections. Anti-microbial additives are

used that destroy harmful bacteria. The smooth

continuous surfaces are easy to wipe clean with the

bare minimum of split lines and the lamp heads are

sealed against the ingress of dirt and liquids to preventcontamination. Remote controls are also available, so

surgeons do not need to touch the light.

Prof Jonathan Sackier(FRCS, FACS)Clinical Director

Surgeon’s need “ good lighting” but we are largely unaware what

makes a surgical light “ good ”. Since working with Brandon Medical,

I have learned that it’s about the colour of the light, the uniformity

of the light field and the ability to adjust the colour balance, not just

about how bright it is! It’s amazing how much research, knowledgeand technology Brandon use in the design of their OR lights.

The Perfect Light Source

The illuminated field from Quasar® eLite is

wider and more adjustable (170-410mm)

than any in its class.

Quasar® eLite features the latest technological

advances to provide even better lighting

performance for its users. The high intensity

illumination of 160,000 Lux with near perfect

colour rendition provides the ideal lighting conditionfor surgical procedures.

l The advanced beam shape ensures a deep

column of ‘always in focus’ light to illuminate

the deepest cavities.

l Quasar® eLite emits the perfect cool light for

maximum staff comfort in the surgical

environment (a change of

Intuitive Lighting Controls

Quasar® eLite ergonomic lighting control systems

provide clear and intuitive adjustment of all lighting

functions by the surgical team. This can be done at the

lamp head, or outside of the sterile field via a secure

wireless wall mounted control system.

Functions include:

l Electronic lighting control from the lamp head

keypadl Focus (field size) adjustment from the keypad,

sterilisable handle and wall mounted control.

l Red Balance Control to optimise the visualisation

of red tissue.

l Light intensity control with Endoscopy setting

(5%).

Integrated Camera System

Quasar® eLite surgical light integrates advanced

quality camera solutions for teaching and research.

The camera is securely embedded within the slim

lamp head, avoiding external camera mounting

systems and bulky handles.

Elimination of “Visual Banding”

The control frequencies used in LED lighting cause

interference with HD video signals resulting in black

banding on monitor screens. Quasar® eLite eliminates

this by synchronising the control frequency of the

LEDs to that of the HD camera systems.

Quasar® eLite

eliminates the need for

external camera mounting

systems.

Simple Manoeuvrability

Virtual handles and a slim, light-weight lamp head,

allow the surgical team to position the lamp head

perfectly for each procedure. The lamp head has 6

rotations to position the light beam into the deepest

of cavities.

Minimal Environmental Impact

Quasar® eLite provides the highest lighting

performance with the smallest energy

consumption. HD-LED light sources reduce

energy consumption significantly. The estimated

C02 reductions are at least 1.25 tonnes per year,

per operating theatre. HD-LED avoids the use of

environmentally damaging materials such as

mercury, lead, cadium, CFC’s, POPs, VOCs or

halogens.

Designed to Minimise Infections

Quasar® eLite has been designed to minimise

infections. Anti-microbial additives are used that

destroy harmful bacteria. The smooth continuous

surfaces are easy to wipe clean with the bare

minimum of split lines.

The lamp heads are sealed against the ingress

of dirt and liquids to prevent contamination.

Remote controls are also available, so surgeons donot need to touch the light. The central sterile

handle allows for easy manoeuvrability and

positioning.
