SYSTEM SETUP 

CONTROLLER SET UP INSTRUCTIONS 

1.

 

Place the Tricera Controller on a stable flat work surface.   

 

IMPORTANT: Prior to use verify that the Controller and footswitch 

are decontaminated and clean and that the shaver handpiece is 

clean and sterilized.  

2.

 

Connect the Tricera Controller power cord (Fig.9) to the power entry 

module (Fig. 2, Item 10).    

 

 

Figure 9

 

a.

 

Optionally, set up the ZEOS system by connecting the ZEOS 

console to the rear of the Tricera Controller via the USB port 

(Fig. 2, item 12). See Appendix B for ZEOS interface details. 

3.

 

Connect the Tricera footswitch cable to the footswitch receptacle 

(Fig. 1, Item 1) on the left-hand side of the front panel of the 

Controller (Fig. 10). 

 

 

Figure 10

 

4.

 

Turn on the Tricera Controller using the power switch (Fig. 1, Item 

7) on the front of the Controller.    
a.

 

Optionally, open the profile screen and select a user profile 

(See Appendix H for user profile details). 

5.

 

The Zimmer Biomet logo and self-test progress will appear on the 

screen, followed by the images shown in Figure 11 and 12.

6.  Open the FMA Cassette packaging and dump the contents onto the 

sterile table.   

 

When using Veriflow (R-10003):

 Within the sterile field, retain the 

patient ends of the Inflow and suction connectors (red and blue 

connectors). Pass the FMA cassette out of the sterile field with the 

saline spikes and waste outflow tube. 

 

When using Exoflow (R-10017):

 Within the sterile field, retain the 

patient end of the suction connector (red connector). Pass the FMA 

cassette out of the sterile field with the waste outflow tube. 
 

Connect the FMA cassette to the controller pumps by placing the 

cassette in place as shown.  The controller will detect the presence of 

the FMA cassette and will provide an audible tone when the cassette is 

in the correct position.

7.  Press the lock button and the FMA cassette will automatically lock 

into place.  

 

NOTE: for Exoflow Outflow FMA (R-10017) only, the 

Controller will proceed to the screen below after locking; no 

purge/calibration is necessary.
