Moller-Wedel EIBOS 2
Moller-Wedel · Model EIBOS 2
The EIBOS 2 offers simultaneous observation of fundus and incision area, and it is safe for patient's eye by spring-loaded suspension. Its slim body allows space for handling instruments, and the fully centric mounting allows rotation depending on ergonomical aspects. It also has an internal focus ranging from the retina to the upper vitreous body, autoclavable mounting, adapter, and drape for prism body, b=and a swing-away position to minimize interference. For easy and secure exchange the lenses for the EIBOS 2 feature bayonet mounting. With the two available types macular as well as peripheral operations on the retina can be performed. Type 90 D: for approx. 90° viewing angle Type SPXL (132 D): for approx. 124° viewing angle The internal focusing is operated via a lever that can be mounted on the left and/or right hand side of the prism body. The traditional EIBOS lever is beneficial for surgeons that like to do the focusing him/herself. The round handle allows easy focusing for an assistant.
Key tips
- ·Never defeat or bypass a return-electrode monitoring (REM) alarm to finish a case - it's a direct burn risk.
- ·Verify OR table battery backup - a table that loses power mid-procedure is a real, documented incident type.
- ·Track surgical light lamp-hours rather than waiting for failure - a sudden failure mid-case is avoidable.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Electrosurgical electrode wear
MediumSymptoms: Poor cut/coag, sparking, low power.
Root cause: Burned/eroded blade or pencil.
Return electrode / pad fault
HighSymptoms: Pad alarm, no activation.
Root cause: Poor contact or expired pad.
Reprocessing / sterilization failure
MediumSymptoms: Residue, bioburden, discoloration.
Root cause: Inadequate cleaning cycle or damaged tray.
Foot switch failure
MediumSymptoms: Unintended or no activation.
Root cause: Fluid ingress / worn switch.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Pre-case functional check
- ·Electrosurgical return-electrode cable inspection
- ·Table hydraulic / mechanical inspection
- ·Annual electrical safety test and full PM
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Electrosurgical electrode wear
- Confirm the presentation - typically poor cut/coag, sparking, low power - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: burned/eroded blade or pencil.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the electrosurgical pencil & electrode per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
Symptom: Return electrode / pad fault
- Confirm the presentation - typically pad alarm, no activation - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: poor contact or expired pad.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the return electrode (patient plate) per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
