1. When using the memory device to store images, the memory device will be connected to the mai unit with a RCA connector. The selected images on the TV screen will be stored by means of a remote control, on a “Memory Card SD” of the “Memory Module V90”. The images or video clips stored on the “Memory Card SD”, can be later rendered on the TV monitor or transferred on a computer which will process or print them on a color printer. You can also get a printing on paper directly from the “Memory Card SD” using a color printer which accepts Memory Cards.

The explorer can be disinfected or sterilized properly, being made air tight with “O” rings and silicon adhesive. It can be protected biologically and physico-chemically with a disposable elastic membrane, the type of regular, commercial, transparent condoms.

The optical body of the device is lubricated with a water-soluble jelly, after which it is introduced into the elastic membrane. It is important that the membrane to cover the optical body uniformly, with no air bubbles, so as not to distort the image of the examined area; therefore, it should be stretched properly, especially in the case of membranes without hemispherical end shape. For easy insertion, the lubricating jelly is used once more before introducting the optical device into the vagina.

In Romania transparent elastic membranes “ROMED HOLLAND” can be purchased from “Medical Technologies LTD SRL” in Bucharest, Phone: 021.324.32.60.

When introduced into the vagina, the apparatus performs visual examination in direct contact with the observed area; this particular area being equal in size with the spherical cap of the optical body. As the optical device advances, the walls of the vagina, followed by the deep vaginal end and the cervix appear on the screen. The examined area must not be pressed with the optical body of the apparatus, as it can be flattened and the colour differences blurred. Therefore, the optical body must be positioned in the vicinity of the examined zone, without distorting it.

The physician can linger on certain zones of medical interest and store the relevant images in the memory module for later comparison of modifications taking place in these chosen areas. The apparatus does not need any focus adjustment, as the image obtained on the screen is always correctly focused on the area to be examines in the nearness of the spherical cap of the optical body.

Because the device is correctly focused, the image on the TV screen is always enhanced by a constant multiplication factor (which depends only on the diagonal of the TV monitor used).

In this way the modifications occurring with time in the examined area can be measured and compared easily and precisely.

Manipulation of the device in the interior of the vagina is limited by the semi-elastic structure of its body, allowing no accidents in case of more drastic manipulation.

When working with contrast substances for treatments tests or other medical procedures, you will need to use the valves or the speculum; in many cases the “ODECO” Video Explorer can be inserted through these valves or speculum.

On completing the examination, the disposable membrane is removed and the apparatus will be disinfected or sterilized. The lubricating jelly will be cleaned from the optical body, and not allowed to dry, because the image obtained may be affected by the elastic membrane and the optical body’s surface getting opaque.

The apparatus must not be dismantled by the user, as the components are assembled by screw-fastening and made air-tight with “O RINGS” and silicon adhesive.

WARNING:  You will need to employ adequate methods for sterilization.

There is no danger of radiation or electrocution, as the apparatus performs at low voltage (12Vdc) and is protected against accidental voltages of over 12 V.

The apparatus is durable, fault-proof, shock-proof and easy to use.

I.    Installation and setting

The memory module is connected to the main unit and it records pictures and video clips on a “Memory Card SD”. The cable with  RCA connectors is coupled to the yellow RCA connector of the cable at the “AV1” input .  Connect the adaptor of the module from the “ON / OFF” switch on its side. At this moment the date and time setting in the module is displayed on the TV monitor screen.

On first-time use, you will set the module as follows:

1. Press the MENU button; the setting menu is displayed on screen.
2. Set the date and time, by the round, arrow-marked button of the module.
3. Set “Motion detect” on OFF
4. Set Capture Format and select Format Photo for pictures. To obtain 20 second video clips select Format AV1.
5. Set the Setup menu which has six sub-settings.

a.                   choose the PALL TV system

b.                  set HIGH  for image clarity

c.                   the remaining four settings are not relevant

Finally we exit from the setting mode by EXIT

a)      Picture storing is done on a memory card SD introduced into the module. You may use the smallest, 521 MB Memory Card SD, which can store over 7.000 pictures or 2.450 / 20 seconds video clips.

1.      Turn on the module from the lateral ON / OFF button.

2.      Press the SHOT button to record the chosen picture you may use buttons on the module or on its remote control. The picture will be recorded successively on the memory card, all the pictures taken during that day being stored in a separate folder, and in the indexed with the date they were taken. In each folder, containing all the pictures taken in the respective day, each image is indexed with a number, the date and time it was obtained. This indexation is important, as it will be used later to identify and view the memorized pictures.

b)      Storing of video clips is done by selecting the Format AVI option in the MENU. Video clips have a fixed duration of 20 seconds; they start recording from the SHOT   button and stop automatically after 20 seconds.

1. Viewing of pictures
2. the  module is started from the ON / OFF side button
3. press the MODE  button which will induce the play mode PLAYBACK = PREVIEW. The last picture will appear on the screen, with its current number and the date / time it was taken. By pressing the buttons marked with arrows “>” (left) and “<” (right), you will view the pictures in the last folder one by one, with the date, time and current number of each image.
4. By processing the button “Λ” (up) you will get a clearer image of the picture on the screen, without its identification data (date, time and current number). If you wish to view the other picture folders dates of the memory card, press the SHOT button and all the folders in the memory card will be displayed, indexed with the respective date of their recording.
5. select the folder of the  chosen day and press  the OK  button. The last six pictures of the respective folders will be displayed on the screen, with current number, date and time of recording.
6. press the buttons “<” (left) or “>” (right) to select the picture that we wish to display on the monitor.
7. press the “OK” key to get the selected picture displayed on the TV monitor, showing the data and time of recording.

1. By pressing the “MODE” button you get on the screen a previously recorded picture.
2. Press the “MENU” button and  three option will appear on the screen:

a)      “DELETE” cancel one picture

b)      “DELETE” cancel all pictures

c)      “FORMAT” re-format the memory card, which will delete everything on the card

3. Select the option by means of the arrows on the round button
4. confirm procedure with “V” (green) or renounce with “X” (red)

       In conclusion, when pressing the “MODE” button you will enter the play mode “PLAYBACH = PREVIEW” of the apparatus. In this mode you have three  options:

a)      by pressing the “OK” button you will view on the screen the last six pictures of the current folder, of which you can select pictures, one by one, for viewing

b)      by pressing the “MENU”  button you will enter the menu for picture canceling

c)      by pressing the SHOT” button you will enter the menu for selecting the folder / day you wish to view.

Pictures recorded on the memory card can be displayed in three ways:

1.      from the memory module  (see Paragraph B: Viewing of pictures)

2.      can be transferred from a computer with a SD card reader and then   processed by software

3.      can be printed with a printer accepting memory cards SD
