Olympus CLV-160
Olympus · Model CLV-160
Powerful 300W xenon lamp for Olympus color CCD videoscope system. New and improved condenser design helps achieve nearly 1.3x as much light intensity as the CLV-U40. User-friendly front panel design. Illumination capability to cover even more distant points assures sufficient brightness when retroflexing the scope tip, observing the lower esophagus, and more. Improvement in light adjustment levels helps maintain appropriate brightness even when observing at extremely close range or observing the gastric angulus. 35% reduction in overall size compared to its predecessor, with width reduced by a full 80mm, saving space in your endoscopy suite. Simple membrane switches and clear indicators on the front panel for improved operability. Compatible with conventional Olympus color CCD videoscopes and fiberscopes. Electronic lamp light indicator.
Key tips
- ·A failed leak test means the scope does not get reprocessed or used - send it for repair, full stop.
- ·A shortened reprocessing cycle is a real infection-control failure, not a minor deviation - follow AAMI ST91 exactly.
- ·Track light-source lamp-hours against the manufacturer's limit rather than running to failure.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
No or dim illumination / lamp fault
HighSymptoms: No light output, dim or flickering light, lamp-hours alarm, colour shift.
Root cause: Xenon / LED lamp at end of life, a lamp power supply fault, or a light-cable fault.
Poor video image
HighSymptoms: Noisy, dark, discoloured or out-of-focus image, dropouts, no image.
Root cause: Camera head / coupler fault, a camera-cable fault, or a CCU / video-processor fault.
White-balance / colour fault
MediumSymptoms: Cannot white-balance, persistent colour cast.
Root cause: Camera head sensor drift, a dirty coupler, or the light source colour temperature.
Overheating / fan fault
LowSymptoms: Thermal shutdown, loud fan, hot exhaust.
Root cause: Failed or clogged cooling fan.
Output / connector fault
LowSymptoms: Signal only on one output, connector damage, HD/SDI dropout.
Root cause: Worn video output connector or an output board fault.

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.
- ·Leak testing before each reprocessing cycle
- ·Scope reprocessing per AAMI ST91
- ·Light source lamp-hour tracking
- ·Annual full PM
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: No or low laser output
- Measure output at the delivery device with a laser power meter against the setting.
- Fit a known-good delivery fibre / handpiece / applicator.
- Confirm the cooling system runs and the coolant is at level and clean.
- Check the key switch, door interlock and footswitch are satisfied.
- Escalate a confirmed laser-module / lamp / diode-bar or driver fault to the OEM; recalibrate power after any module work.
Symptom: Cooling / thermal shutdown
- Confirm the cooling fans / pump run and the airflow is clear.
- Check the coolant level and replace the coolant filter.
- Let the unit cool and restart.
- Clean the air filters / vents.
- Monitor for recurrence during a treatment.
Symptom: Burn marks at the fibre / handpiece tip / intermittent output
- Inspect the delivery fibre / applicator and its connector for damage or contamination.
- Re-cleave or replace the fibre.
- Clean the output optics per the manual.
- Confirm the applicator is recognised by the console.
- Re-measure output with a power meter.
Symptom: Will not fire / key, interlock or footswitch error
- Confirm the key switch is on and the door / remote interlock loop is closed.
- Test the footswitch and its cable.
- Check the aiming beam is present.
- Clear any standby / safety timeout.
- Replace the footswitch or refer the interlock circuit.
