ALLY II UPS™
12.3 ATTACHING THE ADAPTER DRAPE
WARNING:
Surgical procedures requiring vaginal instrumentation are not sterile. Conventional Operating
Room procedures for maintaining sterility must be observed when the ALLY II UPS™ is in use.
CAUTION:
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.
NOTE:
It is recommended to have spare adapter drapes ready at the start of a case.
1. Once patient prep is complete, and prior to draping the patient, it is time to connect the adapter drape to the ALLY II UPS™.
2. The sterile personnel should connect the adapter drape. Align the pinch clips as shown and press them onto the end of the
flexible arm. Make sure the adapter drape snaps fully into place. Slide the attached adapter drape around the elbow of the
ALLY II UPS™ until you get to the main unit.
CAUTION:
Operating room personnel should take care not to contaminate the draped ALLY II UPS™ flexible
arm during the remaining patient preparation steps.
3. It is recommended to drape the patient’s legs at this step in the process.
NOTE:
Continue with necessary patient preparation steps.
12.4 INTRA-OPERATIVE USE
1. Grasp the handle of the manipulator or the ALLY II UPS™ flexible arm.
2. Depressing the foot pedal allows for dynamic manipulation of the flexible arm.
3. Maneuver to the desired position.
4. Releasing the foot pedal locks the ALLY II UPS™ in place, holding the manipulator in a static position.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE.
If adequate range of motion is not obtained, reposition the ALLY II UPS™
(reference section 12.2 on proper positioning). If problem persists, discontinue use.
CAUTION:
DO NOT
attach the manipulator to the ALLY II UPS™ arm until after the patient is in the final position.
CAUTION:
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.
