Operation and Care Manual
Sufficient clearance is
maintained by allowing
an area six inches by six
inches both behind and
on the left side of the
OnPoint
™
unit.
• Before each use, check the outer surface of the arthroscope and
arthroscopic accessories to ensure there are no unintended rough surfaces,
sharp edges, or protrusions that may cause a safety hazard to the patient
or user; or cause damage to the equipment and other accessories.
• In the event of use with other surgical tools, such as shavers, care shall be
taken to avoid damage to the arthroscope or any arthroscopic
accessories. All damaged instruments shall be discarded immediately.
• In the event of a loss of system function during a procedure, no further
visualization is necessary, and the procedure is ended, the physician shall
remove the arthroscope and proceed with closure or further patient care
as needed. Further arthroscopic examination shall only be performed with
a fully functional system, for which a backup unit is recommended.
To avoid personal injury and damage to this device:
• Do not block ventilation slots or openings. Always ensure sufficient
clearance for ventilation by not placing any other equipment or objects
on or near the vents on either side of the OnPoint
™
unit.
• Always place and keep the OnPoint unit on a flat, level, and secure
surface.
• In the event of suspected damage or failure, DO NOT OPERATE and have
the device inspected by qualified personnel.
