LED light source X-Cite Vitae™ FOI

whitevisibletunable

Product Overview
The X-Cite Vitae FOI is a compact, configurable LED fiber-optic illumination module designed for OEM medical applications including endoscopy, surgical microscopy and headlamp systems. Available in high-lumen and high-CRI variants, the unit supports industry-standard fiber interfaces and multiple control options for direct integration into medical devices.

Platform Description
The platform uses pre-designed, configurable mechanical and optical components to reduce development time and lower integration effort. Modular couplings, selectable fan orientation and configurable sheet-metal mounting simplify accommodation in custom housings and assemblies.

Features and Benefits

• LED illumination: lower thermal load and long operational life compared to legacy sources
• High luminous output: up to 2000 lumens (High Lumen option)
• High CRI option: up to typical 92 CRI for accurate tissue color rendering
• Standardized four-way turret: accepts Storz, Wolf, ACMI and Olympus ferrules (optimized for 5 mm, 0.56 NA fibers)
• Small footprint and low profile: enables integration with cameras and compact instrument layouts
• Selectable fan orientation (left, right or rear) to adapt cooling path to device design
• Thermal management and hardware cutoff: preserves LED lifetime and provides safety shutdown on overtemperature
• Ferrule presence sensing: disables output when fiber is absent for user safety
• Flexible control: direct current control via 0–5 V analog input or external PWM; dedicated LED ON/OFF pin
• Configurable mounting and custom coupling options available for rapid OEM adaptation
