Product Description/Intended Use
The Stryker Digital Capture Classic (SDC Classic™) is a computer-based unit that
records, manages, and archives digital images and videos of surgical procedures.
The SDC Classic simplifies file management by recording surgical photos and
videos to compact digital media, such as CDs, DVDs, Compact Flash Cards, USB
Hard Drives, or USB dongles, for later viewing on a personal computer, a DVD
player, or from the SDC Classic itself.
The SDC Classic records images on a built-in hard drive, where they can be easily
accessed after the surgical procedure. The images stored on the hard drive can be
named and burned to a CD or DVD through a control panel located on the front
of the unit.
In addition to the control panel, the SDC Classic can be controlled by a hand-
held remote control, buttons located on the surgical camera head, or the SIDNE®
voice-activation system.
