Modern LED Technology Improves Quality, Efficiency and Lifespan of E.N.T. Examination Instruments


Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Wednesday, May 30, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- Use of light emitting diodes (LEDs) as an energy-efficient light source has become more commonplace recently as the technology has improved over the last few years. The otoscopes and ophthalmoscopes in Riester's ri-scope® L and e-scope® ranges now use LED lights to provide a clearer image and increased lifespan with their whiter light and excellent efficiency. LED illumination is also offered with otoscopes in Riester's ri-former modular diagnostic station, which offers a versatile combination of modular options and cost-savings by negating the need for batteries.

Along with other energy-efficiency improvements such as durable li-ion batteries and automatic power management, Riester's use of the most up-to-date technology offers doctors and nurses a range of E.N.T. examination instruments that provides higher quality light over a much longer lifespan. For example, the LED lamps in the ri-scope® L series will produce at least 20,000 hours of 17,500 Lux light intensity, compared to the 20-30 hours of a xenon or halogen bulb.

In addition to the direct user benefits, Riester is pleased to be offering a product that is much more environmentally friendly than traditional lamps, with the instruments using less energy, requiring less maintenance and making the batteries last much longer - meaning less waste from disposal and replacement. Alkaline batteries for e-scope® and lithium batteries for ri-scope® L have a much longer lifetime of 50 hours when used with LED illumination compared to traditional bulbs.
