P3 Technology: Optimized for Fluid Dynamics

The Image 1 P3 is engineered to handle the challenges posed by irrigation medium, high light intensity, and high contrast variations inherent in urological endoscopy.

1. Progressive Scan Full HD (1080p)

The P3 head captures the entire image frame sequentially, rather than interlaced fields, delivering superior image quality for surgical video:

• **Zero Motion Artifact:** Essential for procedures involving fast movement, such as laser lithotripsy or using high-frequency instruments, where motion blur must be eliminated.
• **True 1080p Resolution:** Provides the detailed visualization necessary to differentiate subtle mucosal changes, identify residual stone fragments, and locate fine tissue margins.
• **High Contrast and Brightness Control:** The integrated CCU algorithms are fine-tuned to manage the high reflectivity and intense light often used in urology, preventing washout and maintaining detail.

2. Storz Modular Advantage and Urology Compatibility

As part of the modular Image 1 family, the P3 system offers flexibility and system integrity:

• **Compatibility:** Seamlessly integrates with the vast range of Storz rigid and flexible urological scopes, including cystoscopes, ureteroscopes, and resectoscopes.
• **Ergonomics:** The P3 camera head is designed to be lightweight and comfortable, reducing strain during lengthy procedures.
• **Future-Proofing:** While optimized for P3, the modular CCU provides a base that can often be expanded or upgraded with additional Image 1 S modules (depending on the specific CCU generation), safeguarding your investment.

Clinical Applications in Endourology

The **Image 1 P3** system is the workhorse imaging solution for virtually all endourological procedures, where accuracy and clear visualization directly impact patient outcomes.

1. Stone Management and Lithotripsy

Optimal visualization is paramount for stone surgery:

• **Clear Fragmentation View:** High resolution ensures stone fragments are easily seen and suctioned, minimizing the chance of residual stones.
• **Precise Laser Targeting:** Progressive scan and sharp detail allow the surgeon to accurately target laser fibers during lithotripsy within the ureter or kidney.

2. Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures

The system enhances procedures across the urinary tract:

• **Cystoscopy:** Facilitates precise diagnosis of bladder pathology, including tumors and inflammation.
• **TURP/TURBT:** Provides stable, clear views during transurethral resection, crucial for identifying deep tissue margins and controlling bleeding.

Refurbishing the **Karl Storz Image 1 P3 Urology Camera System** requires special attention to the sensor array and the camera head’s fluid resistance. **Camjoy** technicians perform comprehensive testing on the 3-Chip sensor (or its modern equivalent) to ensure perfect color convergence and image uniformity—vital for accurate diagnosis of mucosal color changes. For a urology system, the seal integrity of the camera head and cable connections is critical due to constant exposure to liquids and chemical disinfectants. We meticulously inspect and restore all sealing mechanisms to guarantee the unit remains leak-proof and can withstand the rigors of high-level disinfection processes. We also calibrate the CCU’s video processing to confirm that the white balance and contrast algorithms perform optimally in the specific lighting and fluid conditions encountered in the urinary tract, delivering a consistently artifact-free image.

By selecting a **Camjoy certified refurbished Image 1 P3**, urology departments gain access to a powerful, specialty-optimized Full HD imaging solution that meets high clinical standards for performance and reliability, all while offering significant capital savings.
