• Do not place the unit near other devices that may become a source of vibrations.

Wait for 30 seconds after turning power off

For a brief interval after the power is turned off, the platters inside the HDD will still keep spinning and the heads will be in an insecure position. During this interval, the unit is more susceptible to shocks and vibrations than during normal operation. For a period of at least 30 seconds after turning power off, avoid subjecting the unit even to very

Please Read First

light shocks. After this period, the hard disk will be fully stopped and the unit can be manipulated.

Temperature and humidity related precautions

Use and store the unit only in locations where the specified temperature and humidity ranges are not exceeded. (Be sure to use the unit that conforms fully to the specifications of this unit.)

When HDD seems to be faulty

Even if the HDD is showing signs of malfunction, be sure to observe all the above precautions. This will prevent further damage from occurring until the problem can be diagnosed and corrected.

Replacement of the HDD and other consumable parts

The HDD and battery are consumable parts that will need periodic replacement. When operating at room temperature, a normal replacement cycle will be about two to three years. However, this replacement cycle represents only a general guideline and does not imply that the life expectancy of these parts is guaranteed. For details on parts replacement, contact your dealer.

Notes on media

Operation with all optical media or USB media is not guaranteed. Contact your dealer regarding the type of media you intend to use.

HDMI/DVI-D inputs

If HDMI/DVI-D input images are not displayed, turn on the unit first and make sure that startup is complete (i.e., “READY” appears in the front panel display) before turning on the video input device.

Features

The Sony HVO-500MD/550MD HD Video Recorder is intended to record HD video and still images from endoscopic, laparoscopic, and other compatible diagnostic imaging systems and surgical imaging systems. This medical grade video recorder can save recorded images to an internal hard disk drive, a portable USB drive, an optical disk (HVO-550MD only), or a compatible network server. The recorded images can be stored in patient records, used for training or education, or sent to referring physicians. The network recorder is suitable for use in hospital operating rooms, diagnostic imaging centers, surgical centers, clinics, doctors, offices, and similar medical environments.

Improved efficiency during and after medical procedures

Video and still image recording

Record videos and still images from endoscopic devices and cameras used in the operating room. HD/SDcompatibility allows recording and playback in high definition.

Warning

Using this unit for medical purposes

The connectors on this unit are not isolated. Always use USB-compatible external hard drives and USB memory devices that operate solely on the power supplied by the unit. Connecting a device that operates on an AC power supply may result in an influx of leakage currents from the connected device, which may in turn result in electric shocks to the patient and operator. If use of such devices cannot be avoided, be sure to connect an isolation transformer to the power supply of the connected device or connect an isolator between the connection cables to isolate the power supply, and verify that the risk of electric shock from the system has been sufficiently reduced to levels that conform to IEC60601-1 standards.

Editing recorded data

Record images to external media, and use commercially available software to play back or edit the images on a computer as necessary.

Network file transfer

Transfer recorded data from the operating room directly to computers within the hospital network.

Simultaneous saving to external storage media

Data saving to up to external storage media is completed at roughly the same timing as the end of the surgical procedure or examination.

Printer connectivity

Connect the unit to a printer, and print images for medical reports via simple controls from the [Recording List] screen or a foot switch, for example. You can also configure settings to print images when they are captured.

Support for a variety of external storage media

Record simultaneously to USB-compatible external hard drives and USB memory devices via simple controls, or copy the data at a later time. This is useful when you want to edit recorded images on a computer.

Features

Warning

Using this unit for medical purposes

This equipment’s connectors are not isolated. Do not connect any device other than one which conforms to IEC60601-1. When an information technology device or AV device that uses an alternating current is connected, current leakage may result in an electric shock to the patient or operator. If use of such a device is unavoidable, isolate its power supply by connecting an isolation transformer, or by connecting an isolator between the connecting cables. After implementing these measures, confirm that the reduced risk now conforms to IEC60601-1.
