Moller-Wedel MÖLLER 20-1000
Moller-Wedel · Model MÖLLER 20-1000
The base of the floor stand houses a powerful 300 W xenon light source as well as a second identical but independed lamp module for backup. Quick exchange Filtered light against UV and IR radiation to protect the surgeon's eyes and the patient's tissue Control of light intensity via hand grip or foot switch Fluorescence For the operating system MÖLLER 20-1000 Möller-Wedel offers the equipment for fluorescence with ALA and ICG. Two light sources (one each for ALA and ICG) are integrated in the floor stand. SensoServo drive via SensoGrip Diaphragms against glare Switchable enhancer of the depth of field Bidirectional RS 232 interface for navigation Computer control of all motorized functions True overhead capability Slim floor stand design, hidden cables, stainless steel arms, easy to clean Options for diagnosis with ICG and ALA
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.
Return electrode / pad fault
HighSymptoms: Pad alarm, no activation.
Root cause: Poor contact or expired pad.
Foot switch failure
MediumSymptoms: Unintended or no activation.
Root cause: Fluid ingress / worn switch.
Table hydraulic / actuator fault
MediumSymptoms: Slow or drifting positioning.
Root cause: Cylinder seal or actuator wear.
OR light LED failure
LowSymptoms: Dim or dead panel, color shift.
Root cause: LED module aging.

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.
