The Image Technologies Corporation SteriCam and TroView Imaging System consists of a CCD camera, coupler and a computer-based documentation system. The SteriCam is intended to attach to a standard commercially available endoscope for visualization of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The System includes a Coupler-Drape Assembly which is intended to couple the SteriCam to a standard commercially available endoscope. The TroView System is intended to provide documentation/storage of the image in the field of view of the SteriCam.

The Image Technologies Corporation's SteriCam, SteriCam Coupler-Drape and TroView Imaging System consists of a CCD camera, coupler and a computer based documentation system. The SteriCam takes the image that normally would be seen by the naked eye, and displays it on a color monitor. The SteriCam provides imaging through standard commercially available endoscopes and is designed to be used with the sterile SteriCam Coupler-Drape. The Coupler-Drape includes a sterile drape component. The SteriCam is placed within the sterile drape of the Coupler-Drape to prevent contamination in the sterile field. The video signal cable connects the SteriCam to the TroView Documentation System. The SteriCam Coupler-Drape's distal end attaches to the eyepiece of a conventional endoscope and uses the SteriCam CCD camera to display the image on the computer monitor. The SteriCam Coupler-Drape simply connects the conventional endoscope to the SteriCam. The SteriCam Coupler-Drape is sterile and includes the drape so that the non-sterile SteriCam Camera and cable are covered during the surgical procedures. Although the SteriCam Coupler-Drape attaches to various endoscopes, it is designed to be used only with the SteriCam camera. The TroView System is a non-sterile reusable unit that is intended to provide real time image displays as well as storage of the image in the field of view of the SteriCam. As the TroView receives and displays the SteriCam digitized video output, the images can be adjusted for brightness, hue, contrast and saturation. The TroView System allows for printing to a dedicated printer or saving the image in to a 1.44 MB 3.5" floppy disk or other storage medium. A software based zoom is also permitted. A sterile disposable Remote Controller is also offered with the TroView System which permits remote control access to key camera and computer functions. The Remote Controller looks and performs identically to the controller pad located on the faceplate of the computer. The physician is able to place the sterile Remote Controller in the sterile field whereas the faceplate of the computer is non-sterile and situated outside the sterile field.
