An adapter for permitting a medical diagnostic instrument having an illumination source including at least one LED (light emitting diode) to be used with a power supply normally configured for use with a diagnostic instrument having at least one incandescent lamp as an illumination source. The adapter includes circuitry for compensating LED specific characteristics for permitting the power supply to be used with the LED.

Electrical adapter for medical diagnostic instruments using LEDs as illumination sources

An LED for use with a medical diagnostic instrument having an adapter disposed between an instrument head and a hand-grippable handle, the LED being removably attachable in relation to the adapter in order to permit selective replacement of the LED, as needed. The LED is situated in order to provide mechanical and electrical interface with at least one of the adapter and the instrument, thereby enabling the adapter and the LED to convert the illumination source of the instrument selectively between an incandescent light source and the LED. The adapter matches a polarity between the LED and a power supply that is specifically intended for powering an incandescent light source.

Electrical adapter for medical diagnostic instruments using replaceable LEDs as illumination sources

A wall mounted power supply for a remote instrument handle has a novel self compensating voltage regulating circuit that remains in precise calibration despite variable voltage drops in the load, cabling, and control switches. Power output is enabled by an infrared emitter-detector combination disposed in the device's cradle that senses the absence of the instrument handle therein.
