ENGLISH
PSD-V is not designed, sold, or intended for use except as indicated; doing so may result in surgical
complications.
Synovis products differ; substitution of one product for another product may reduce product performance.
Do not use PSD-V if the product has been exposed (1) to solutions above room temperature, (2) to
chemicals, antibiotics, or other substances other than specifically addressed in the instructions, (3) or if heat
indicator has been activated.
CAUTIONS:
Use care when removing loading unit components from the stapler to prevent buttress dislodgement.
Do not get the buttress wet before applying Gel, or the buttress may not adhere to the stapler properly.
Ensure the anvil and cartridge sides of the loading unit are on the corresponding stapler jaws or the
buttress may not adhere to the stapler properly.
Final tissue compression, including PSD-V, must meet the range specified by the stapler
manufacturer; this is especially important if staple firings are overlapped. PSD-V increases the total
thickness of the area stapled by 0.4 mm - 1.2 mm (0.016” - 0.048”).
Follow
Instructions for Use
supplied by the stapler manufacturer. Do not use PSD-V contrary to the stapler
manufacturer’s instructions.
The cartridge and anvil sides of the PSD-V loading unit differ; substitution of one side for the other may
interfere with alignment and adherence of the buttress strips.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
LOADING STAPLER FOR ALL STAPLER MODELS
Note:
Each model of PSD-V has been designed specifically for the stapler models indicated on the label;
verify that the correct model of PSD-V has been selected.
Note:
Loading technique for PSD-V varies. Follow the appropriate technique as indicated below.
1. Open the outer PSD-V pouch.
2. Aseptically remove the inner pouch and place in the sterile field.
3. Inspect the pouch. Do not use if the pouch is damaged or if the seals are not intact.
4. Open the inner PSD-V pouch and remove the PSD-V loading unit by using atraumatic
techniques.
5. Inspect the Gel pouch. Do not use if the pouch is damaged or if the seals are not intact.
6. Open the Gel pouch and aseptically place Gel in the sterile field.
7. Break off the metal tip of the Gel tube.
8. Attach the plastic Gel Tip to the Gel tube by pushing it down over the top of the Gel tube.
9. Apply a continuous thin Gel bead onto each buttress strip (See Figure 1).
Caution:
Do not get the buttress wet before applying Gel or the buttress may not adhere to the stapler
properly.
10. Ensure that the jaws of the stapler are clean and dry before inserting the PSD-V loading unit.
Caution:
Final tissue compression, including PSD-V, must meet the range specified by the stapler
manufacturer. This is especially important if stapler firings are overlapped. PSD-V increases the total
thickness of the area stapled by 0.4mm - 1.2mm (0.016”- 0.048”).
11. Identify the anvil (ANV) and cartridge (CART) sides of the PSD-V loading unit.
Caution:
The cartridge and anvil loading units differ; substitution of one unit for another may interfere
with closing and firing of the stapler.
Note: For ENDO GIA
TM
UNIVERSAL stapler models skip to step 19.
LOADING STAPLER FOR ALL STAPLER MODELS EXCLUDING ENDO GIA
TM
UNIVERSAL MODELS
12. Position the open stapler onto the stapler loading unit (See Figure 2).
13. Ensure the anvil and cartridge sides of the loading unit are on the corresponding stapler jaws or
the buttress may not adhere to the stapler properly.
Note:
The cartridge and anvil sides of the PSD-V loading unit differ; substitution of one side for the other
may interfere with alignment and adherence of the buttress strips.
14. Close the stapler.
15. Remove the plastic sheath leaving the foam spacer between the stapler jaws (See Figure 3).
16. Discard plastic sheath and remove any excess Gel from stapler.
