Electrical Safety - Stryker AIM HD Guia Del Usuario

come into contact with a patient, the user, or combustible
materials.
• Laser radiation or high-intensity light can continue to emit
from the adapter, which can cause severe eye injury to the
patient or user.
9. Activation of a 600 – 1100 nm wavelength surgical laser during
a laparoscopic procedure can cause the image to become
saturated, and therefore unclear. Verify compatibility prior to
surgery.
10. To prevent patient tissue damage, do not use the laparoscope
as a probe or apply pressure with the laparoscope tip to
surrounding tissues.
11. To prevent damage to the laparoscope that could result in
broken portions of it being in the patient, avoid contact with a
rotating or cutting instrument.
12. Failure to remove the laparoscope and laparoscopic accessories
during a cardiac defibrillator discharge may lead to punctured
or injured patient tissue.
Cautions
1. Keep the laparoscope clean and dry when not in use. The
stainless steel exterior of the laparoscope is rust-resistant, not
rust-proof.
2. To ensure a clear image, clean the window at the laparoscope's
distal tip with sterile alcohol wipes or sterile cotton tip
applicators and isopropyl alcohol prior to use.
3. Bending the laparoscope, or using the laparoscope as a lever
or pry bar, may result in lens damage and may render the
laparoscope unusable.
4. Contact with a surgical laser beam may damage the
laparoscope surface and internal optics.
5. Third party repair is not recomended for AIM HD Laparoscopes.
To maintain proper function, image and near-infrared
compatibility, use Stryker authorized personnel for repair and
service.
6. Some surgical lasers may not be visible when used with AIM
HD laparoscopes. Prior to surgery, verify that the selected laser
is compatible with the laparoscope.

Electrical Safety

1. Stryker laparoscopes should only be connected to Type F
devices. Stryker laparoscopes are classified as Type CF when
attached to a Type CF device, and Type BF when attached to a
Type BF device.
2. When laparoscopes are used with energized endoscopically-
used accessories, patient leakage currents may be additive.
To minimize total patient leakage current, use only Type CF or
Type BF endoscopic accessories. Type CF applied parts should
always be used together with other Type CF applied parts.
3. Consult literature for the safe use of electrosurgical equipment.
Inadvertent burns can occur when the patient return path is
obstructed.
Connecting a Light Cable
Three adapters (Wolf, Storz and ACMI) are included to enable
connection of the laparoscope to different styles of light cables.
SafeLight™ adapters may be purchased separately.
Wolf Light-Post Adapter
Storz Scope End Adapter
ACMI Scope End Adapter
SafeLight™ Henke/Dyonics/Storz Adapter (not
included)
Notes:
• For best performance, ensure the light cable is not worn or
damaged.
• Remove the adapter from the laparoscope and light cable before
cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization.
Connect the light post to the appropriate adapter.

Using Polishing Paste
Polishing paste is included with the laparoscope. If any of the three
optical surfaces (distal end, light post or proximal end) has deposits
that cannot be removed in normal cleaning practices, they can
be removed with the paste prior to cleaning, disinfection, and
sterilization.
1. Apply a small amount of polishing paste to a clean cotton swab.
2. Gently rub the cotton swab on the optical surface, cleaning in
a circular motion.
