Software
Modern electronics only produce satisfying results in combination with dedicated software. Therefore, software is playing an increasingly important role in product development at KARL STORZ. Software is improving image quality in video systems, reducing optical defects caused by the system, such as the Moiré pattern in fiberscopes, is enabling device control with unsurpassed precision and facilitating operation thanks to the user-friendly menu control.
In the modern operating room the use of software can unfold even greater potential. Peripheral devices can be integrated in the endoscopic operating room via defined interfaces, which means that all relevant devices can be operated and controlled from one central point. Even speech control from the sterile area has become possible. Complex tasks can be simplified and optimized through the straightforward use of predefined, stored settings.
Additionally, there are the quick and secure possibilities for image and video documentation and transfer and not least the integration of sophisticated multimedia applications for audio and video communication, such as broadcasting in lecture theaters or obtaining specialist consultation over distances of thousands of miles.
The software used in endoscopy is highly specialized and cannot be mass-produced. It is specially developed by the software engineers at KARL STORZ and is subject to the same strict quality and safety requirements as all other product components.
