What Is the Orthoscan TAU Surgical Lights Assembly (915-0146)?
Product: Orthoscan Surgical Lights Assembly, TAU
Part Number: 915-0146
The Orthoscan TAU Surgical Lights Assembly (915-0146) is the LED surgical illumination assembly mounted on the c-arm head of the Orthoscan TAU 1512, TAU 1515, and TAU 2020 Mini C-Arms. These lights illuminate the surgical field directly at the procedure site, providing supplemental illumination that helps the surgeon and OR staff maintain clear visibility of the operative area during fluoroscopy. The surgical lights are a distinctive feature of the TAU platform that sets it apart from earlier Orthoscan generations. Because the lights are positioned on the c-arm head and move with it, they maintain consistent illumination of the field regardless of c-arm head position — a practical advantage in situations where overhead OR lights need to be repositioned or partially dimmed during the procedure. A failed surgical lights assembly typically presents as lights that do not illuminate when activated, lights that flicker or operate intermittently, or a partial failure where only some of the LEDs function. This assembly is shared across all three TAU models — a single part number covers the TAU 1512, TAU 1515, and TAU 2020.

What do the surgical lights do on the TAU mini C-arm?+
The TAU's surgical lights are LED illuminators mounted on the c-arm head that provide direct supplemental lighting at the surgical field. Because they are mounted on the c-arm head itself, they move with the arm and keep the operative area illuminated regardless of c-arm position. This is particularly useful when overhead OR lights need to be repositioned or partially dimmed during the procedure, ensuring the surgeon and OR staff always have clear visibility of the operative site.
What symptoms indicate a failing surgical lights assembly?+
Common symptoms include lights that do not illuminate when activated, flickering or intermittent illumination, and partial failure where only some LEDs in the assembly function. If the lights fail to activate but the rest of the system operates normally, the surgical lights assembly or its power/control wiring is the likely fault. Call (800) 643-2998 to triage before ordering.
