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 uid to distend the joint carries the possibility of uid extravasation into surrounding tissue� Select
the optimal pressure based on the patient prole, 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 dierent parameters�
2� The Wash function may cause high pressure within the joint, which may lead to uid extravasation�
Carefully monitor joint pressure when using this function�
3� The Clear function may cause excessive uid usage� Monitor the use of this function and the uid 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 inow tubing outside of the joint, all of the inow 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 exible uid 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 ammable materials (e�g� anaesthetics,
gases, uids, skin prepping agents, and tinctures)� Observe appropriate re 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 eld 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 ow 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-ow 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�
Decontaminate the pump and accessories prior to returning them to Stryker� Stryker may refuse to carry
out repairs if the products are contaminated�
4� Do not use ammable agents for cleaning and disinfecting the system�
5� Do not sterilize the pump�
6� Follow the instructions in the “Disposal” section of this manual to adequately dispose of system
accessories�
