SECTION 5 BEFORE SURGERY
Gyrus ACMI PlasmaKinetic SuperPulse Generator (Endourology)
USER MANUAL
Part Number: 144020-LB
Page 5-4
The SuperPulse Generator end of the connector cable should then be passed to a non-sterile operative for
connection to the SuperPulse Generator. Ensure that sufficient length of cable is retained for connection to
the instrument, that sufficient slack is provided so that operation is not impeded, and that sufficient slack is
also allowed for tethering to the surgical drapes.
Urological endoscope
The urological endoscope should be prepared for use according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
NOTE
The
PlasmaKinetic
Cystoscope instrument would normally be attached to the
connector cable prior to its introduction into the working channel. See section 5F
for attachment instructions.
Introducing the PlasmaKinetic
Cystoscope Instrument through the working channel
With the endoscope having been introduced through the urethra, pass the instrument through
the working channel ensuring that the working channel tap is in the fully open position prior to
introduction.
Once the instrument is inserted, tether excess cable flex to the sterile drapes to prevent
dragging during manipulation.
WARNING
Avoid the use of excessive force when inserting instruments through a working
channel. Angled working channels often include changes in internal diameter
which may obstruct free passage. If the free passage of the instrument is
obstructed, remove and try again rather than trying to force the instrument tip past
the obstruction. Using force to overcome obstruction will result in damage to the
instrument tip and risk malfunction or breakage during use.
5E Attaching
PlasmaKinetic
Instrument via the PK Connector Cable
Connect the PK instrument to the PK Connector Cable by aligning the two connector halves using the
moulded orientation marks and then pushing together. Once connection is made, the ‘Insert Device’
symbol (Fig 4.2) flashing on the SuperPulse Generator display will change to the default settings
appropriate to the instrument classification code.
For safety and convenience, PK instruments automatically pre-set the SuperPulse Generator to
default output settings and restrict output levels to preserve instrument integrity.
5F Attaching TURis Instruments to the Generator
Assemble the Olympus Resectoscope according to the instructions supplied. Connect both connectors on
the supplied cable to the Resectoscope. Insert the selected Olympus TURis Electrode into the
Resectoscope.
Then attach the cable to the right hand socket of the Gyrus ACMI SuperPulse Generator (marked PK/SP).
The generator screen will change to show default settings. Modify the generator settings as indicated and as
necessary to achieve the desired tissue affect.
Connect TURis to the right hand SuperPulse socket only as shown in Fig 5.4
