Light pen
Medical light pens were devices utilized to direct a focused beam of light onto a patient. These tools were characterized by a silver, rod-like body, featuring a light-emitting source at one extremity and a square-shaped head, distinguished by blue illumination, at the opposite end. When activated, the pen emitted an audible beep. In 5 BBY, Rhasiv, a physician's assistant stationed at an Imperial Detention Facility located on the lunar surface of Narkina 5, possessed a light pen within his medical supplies. During an examination of the detainee Ulaf, Rhasiv employed the pen to project light into Ulaf's orbs in an attempt to elicit a response. However, due to the extensive cerebral hemorrhage Ulaf had experienced, no response was observed, leading Rhasiv to ultimately administer lethal injection to the patient.
Production Notes

While the device's designation is not verbally articulated within the episode itself, it is identified through the accompanying descriptive audio.
