PRECAUTIONS
• Always ensure that the ALLY UPS is tightly and securely attached to the table prior to the start of
the surgical procedure. Improper or loose mounting of the system can lead to unintended movement and may
lead to injury.
• Users should securely hold the manipulator handle before the foot pedal is depressed
to avoid inadvertent movement of the arm.
• Inspect the adapter drape prior to use for damage. Ensure that the packaging of the adapter
drape has not been breached. Verify the expiration date.
• Operating room personnel should take care not to contaminate the draped ALLY UPS during the remaining
patient preparation steps.
•
DO NOT
attach the manipulator to the ALLY UPS arm until after the da Vinci Surgical System patient side
cart is in position and the brakes are set.
•
DO NOT
attach the manipulator to the ALLY UPS arm until after the patient is in the final position.
• Users should check that the adapter is holding the manipulator securely without any
extraneous movement prior to operative use. If the manipulator does not securely attach to the
manipulator adapter discontinue use immediately.
• The
ALLY UPS MUST be removed from the table PRIOR to the foot end/pins being returned to the
horizontal position.
• Damage will result if the flexible arm is cleaned with bleach products.
• Damage may result if the rail clamp is cleaned with bleach.
• Care should be taken during storage and transportation to avoid drops, falls, mechanical stress, and
mechanical shock to the device.
ATTENTION
Emergency Power Removal Advice
Do not position the ALLY UPS so that it is difficult to remove the disconnect device (plug). If there is an immedi-
ate need to remove power from the ALLY UPS, disconnecting the power cord from the ALLY UPS unit will stop it
from functioning.
