The TR580 Mark VII. is a standard tricorder, to which a specialized medical peripheral device has been added, allowing medical personnel to perform powerful medical sensor and analysis functions. Introduced in Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 3, it became the signature tricorder of Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) throughout the remainder of the series.
The original props ranged from rudimentary non-functional resin props, with flat two-dimensional decals to suggest details, to more elaborate hero props made with vac-formed plastic shells containing some integral electronics. Different Mark VII Medical Tricorder props were produced at different times over several years, resulting in variances between them. This Mark VII Tricorder replica has been created after careful study of resources in the Paramount Archives and authenticated items in private collections. It is intended to capture all the different original Mark VII Medical Tricorder props in a single blended execution.
THE REPLICA
Animated graphics based on screen-used slides were specially created and approved by Paramount. Users can select different animations to indicate GEO, MET and BIO functions.The peripheral unit of the replica includes a removable hand sensor, with a light and sound feature. The original hero props used a slightly flexible plastic liner to grip their hand sensors, oftentimes unsuccessfully. For this replica we selected a running-right-to-left pattern because it was one of the more commonly seen variations. For consistency and durability, the replica has been powder coated with metallic finish that emulates the original paint technique.
Each prop replica is supplied in an elegant wooden display case and includes a sequentially numbered metal plaque and COA booklet.

FUNCTIONING PROP REPLICA
From the inception of the project, the Factory Entertainment Team wanted to incorporate a functioning LED screen into the replica, partly because it's what the original designers of the props were trying to imitate, but also because a functioning screen is so much more gratifying in physical replica than the static 35mm slides the prop makers had to use, due to period technological limitations. Animated graphics based on screen-used slides were specially created and approved by Paramount. Users can select different animations to indicate GEO, MET and BIO functions.
LIMITED EDITION
Each prop replica is supplied in an elegant wooden display case and includes a sequentially numbered metal plaque and COA booklet. The body of the medical tricorder is diecast in metal. Other parts are formed in ABS plastic and acrylic. The hand sensor is machined aluminum. None of the original props featured any audio. Audio has been incorporated into the replica to simulate the audio effects heard in the show, which were added in post-production as part of the soundtrack.
