3.1.2
Attaching a Camera Handpiece and Arthroscope
The OnPoint camera handpieces attach via a combination fiberoptic/
electric connector. This connector seats in the receptacle on the front of
the unit (See also: § 2.2.1 Front).
Before connecting a camera or handpiece to the
OnPoint
™
unit, the camera or
handpiece must be properly cleaned (Ref. Section 4.0).
Note: For best image quality and to ensure patient safety, verify that both ends of the camera
or handpiece are free of foreign particles.

Turn the power on. The monitor will power up within about fifteen (15)
seconds. Hold the distal tip of the scope approximately 2.0cm from a
surface with fine details such as your palm or surgical drape.
Turn the focus adjustment knob in either direction until the fine-detailed
surface at the distal end of the scope comes into optimal focus on the LCD
video monitor.

Connect the scope to the camera
by pulling the sliding sleeve and
inserting the scope. Ensure that the
light port is aligned with the bottom
of the handpiece and the red dot
on the back of the scope lines up
with the coupler top-indicator.
Release the sliding sleeve to secure
the scope in place. The proper
technique must be utilized in order
to preserve the sterile field through
the drape that is attached to the
endoscope.
