damage the pressure sensor or cause injury� Place only the cassettes in the cassette holders�
12� Set the alarm volume to a level that is audible in the operating room environment�
13� Ensure the system functions as outlined in this manual prior to a surgical procedure� The system was fully
tested at the factory before shipment�
During Surgery
1� Using fluid to distend the joint carries the possibility of fluid extravasation into surrounding tissue� Select
the optimal pressure based on the patient profile, including, but not limited to, blood pressure, height,
weight, age, and tissue quality� Recommended pressure settings are included in this manual; however,
these are only suggestions, and each surgery and each patient may require different parameters�
2� The Wash function may cause high pressure within the joint, which may lead to fluid extravasation�
Carefully monitor joint pressure when using this function�
3� The Clear function may cause excessive fluid usage� Monitor the use of this function and the fluid level in
the irrigation bags�
4� Use the scope and cannula as selected on the pump� Incorrect scope and cannula use can cause
overpressure if it does not match the selected scope and cannula�
5� Start the pump with the inflow tubing outside of the joint, all of the inflow tubing clamps open, and no
hardware attached� Failure to remove air from the tubing can cause overpressure in the joint�
6� The pump is only intended for use with flexible fluid containers� Do not use glass containers as they
might implode due to the vacuum being generated inside of the container�
7� Do not use this system in the presence of oxidizing agents or flammable materials (e�g� anaesthetics,
gases, fluids, skin prepping agents, and tinctures)� Observe appropriate fire precautions at all times�
8� Keep the pump dry� If liquid has accidentally leaked into the pump from the cassette(s), change the
cassette(s), restart the system, and verify operation�
9� Keep the LCD screen and speaker in the field of view and hearing at all times during use� These are
important safety features�
10� Failure of the system may result in an unintended increase or decrease in flow and/or pressure� Carefully
the monitor the joint when using the system�
11� Do not allow extended exposure of suction to tissue associated with procedures that require either no or
low-flow suction� Always consider the type of tissue associated with the surgical procedure before using
this system� Failure to comply may result in severe injury�
After Surgery
1� Do.not.remove.the.cover.of.the.console.as.this.could.cause.electric.shock.and.product.damage.
2� Disconnect the pump from the electrical output when cleaning, servicing, or inspecting fuses�
3� Do not make any internal repairs or adjustments� Units requiring repair should be returned to Stryker�
