LightControl parameter PD.
- What does it measure?
- Measures whether particles have been entering the the internal sections of the scopes.
- How does it measure it?
- The camera takes multiple images and determines creates an image histogram.
- How does it relate to the previous measurement?
- It compares with and adds the images to a neural network.
Broader explanation
This measurement is done to ensure that contaminated endoscopes do not enter the operating room, that endoscopes are repaired or replaced in a timely manner and that endoscopes do not cause (cross) contamination.
The camera takes multiple images and makes a histogram of them. Then the system references the image set to the previous images of this endoscope and the neural network of EndoscopeManager. Based on this, a pass/fail is triggered. The images are then added to the neural network.
