Intended Use

ALM Prismalix (PRX) Surgical Lights are intended to provide visible illumination for the surgical field or for the examination of the patient. PRX is designed to eliminate shadows, reduce reflected heat, and illuminate surgical incisions of all depths during surgical procedures. Use.is by surgeons and other medical care givers.

The ALM PRX Surgical Lights will be used in indications which are the same as indications for other surgical lights currently offered for commercial distribution in the United States.

Device Description

The new product known as "Prismalix™" is of similar technology to surgical lights covered under D.C. Number K882613 issued on June 29, 1988. The differences between the new Prismalix™ models and models previously sold are cosmetic along with the addition of a tilting mechanism (in selected models) which allows variations in pattern size.

The surgical light consists of single or multiple lightheads attached to suspension arms supported from hospital installed mounting plates. Light heads can be positioned for optimal illumination of the surgical site by grasping sterilizable handles or non-sterile handles on the lighthead.

Low voltage power is supplied to the light bulb by way of a remote mounted transformer similar to those used by other surgical lighting manufacturers. Light intensity is controlled by a dimmer system, mounted remotely at a wall location.

Illumination is measured in footcandles or lux (1 footcandle equals 10.764 lux). Reference publication RP-29-95 Lighting for Hospitals and Health Care Facilities chapter 4, section 11, page 18. Illuminating Engineering Society of North America. New York, NY 1995. IES recommends a minimum illumination level at the surgical site of 2,500 footcandles when the light is positioned one meter above the site. The Prismalix™ series meets and exceeds this recommendation.

The previous range of lighting covered under K882613 is referenced by the three sizes of light heads; 500 mm or 5000 series, 700mm or 7000 series, and 900mm or 9000 series. The Prismalix™ series will be referenced by three sizes of light heads; 400mm or 4000 series, 600mm or 6000 series, and 800mm or 8000 series.

It is possible to provide a fixed focus video camera in selected 4000 series light heads. This Prismavision camera is similar in overall design and construction to the current ALM fixed focus camera, and other surgical/endoscopic video cameras offered for commercial distribution in the United States.
