da Vinci® Si™Introduction 1-5DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/14Figure 1.2 System Labels: IEC 3rd EditionPower RequirementsThe  da Vinci Si System has three main components requiring electrical power: the Surgeon Console, the Patient Cart, and the Vision Cart. To ensure optimum performance, make sure each component of the da Vinci Si System is connected to a dedicated, noise-free and well-grounded AC power outlet.CAUTION:  To avoid overloading circuits, all three components—Surgeon Console, Patient Cart and Vision Cart—must operate on separate, dedicated power circuits. Do not connect ancillary devices such as insufflators or energy devices through any system component, particularly not through the Vision Cart because it has large power requirements. Ancillary devices must be connected to wall outlets on separate circuits from all system components.A label on the rear of the Vision Cart reinforces this caution. Its text appears below the label image.Figure 1.3 Vision Cart power caution label“Vision Cart requires dedicated circuit. Do not connect auxiliary equipment to the circuit powering the Vision Cart.”

da Vinci® Si™Introduction 1-9DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/14CAUTION: The clinical evaluation of the da Vinci Si Surgical System supporting its use for mitral valve repair was not performed totally endoscopically. Introduction and manipulation of the endoscopic instruments were controlled by the da Vinci Si Surgical System through port incisions (< 1 cm) while accessory technologies, e.g., atrial retractor and cardioplegia line, etc., were introduced through a mini-thoracotomy. Performance characteristics for conduct of totally endoscopic mitral valve repair using the da Vinci Si System have not been established. CAUTION:  The friable nature of pulmonary tissue enhances the risk of vascular, bronchiolar, or other injury that will be difficult to control when using this device. Published clinical experience as well as clinical studies performed to support this marketing clearance have demonstrated that even surgeons considered expert in laparoscopy/thoracoscopy have substantial learning curves of 10 to 12 cases (Falk 2000).1 Additional Considerations for Pediatric Surgical ProceduresPrecautions for Use in Smaller Patients• Performance in pediatric surgical procedures is based on similarity of tasks performed in adult surgical procedures. As is appropriate with any surgical procedure, consideration must be given to patient size and workspace volume when using the system and instruments. • As in any patient of smaller size, the possibility of misalignment of the remote center with the body exists. In order to minimize forces on the body wall, care must be taken to ensure the remote center is properly aligned with the body wall.1.4 General Precautions, Warnings, and ContraindicationsThe da Vinci Si System is to be used in accordance with this manual and should not be moved or used by any person who has not been trained by an Intuitive Surgical, Inc. representative. Read all instructions carefully. Failure to properly follow instructions, notes, cautions, warnings and danger messages associated with this equipment may lead to serious injury or surgical complications for the patient. While these messages appear throughout the manual, this chapter provides some general precautions.Any and all relative and absolute contraindications to endoscopic surgical technique applicable to the use of conventional endoscopic surgical instruments apply to the use of the da Vinci Si System. General, non-procedure specific, contraindications to endoscopic surgery include bleeding diathesis, morbid obesity and pregnancy. 1.

Introductionda Vinci® Si™1-10DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/14Conversion to Non-Minimally Invasive TechniqueCAUTION:  Although the da Vinci Si System is safe and reliable, anatomical characteristics of a patient may preclude using minimally invasive techniques. Environmental or equipment failures may cause the da Vinci Si System to be unavailable. The surgical team should always have backup equipment and instrumentation available, and be prepared to convert to alternative surgical techniques. The potential risk of such conversion should be communicated to the patient. Endoscopic Procedure PrecautionsOnly physicians having adequate training and experience with endoscopic techniques should perform endoscopic procedures with the da Vinci Si System. Medical literature should be consulted regarding techniques, complications, and hazards before performing any endoscopic procedure. WARNING: Hazards may exist with over-insufflation, such as gas embolism.CAUTION: When using the da Vinci Si System with insufflation, only CO2 should be used as the insufflating gas. Insufflation should only be performed by personnel having adequate training and experience with this technique. CAUTION: Thermal hazards may exist from high temperatures. Eye hazards may exist from the high energy light radiated by the endoscopic camera and illumination system. Only personnel having adequate training and experience with the endoscopic camera and illumination system should operate such equipment. All WARNING and CAUTION messages provided with the endoscopic camera and illumination system must be followed.CAUTION:  The  da Vinci Si is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture of air, oxygen and/or nitrous oxide.CAUTION:  The force feedback associated with the da Vinci Si System is different from feedback experienced when using conventional instruments. As with any endoscopic procedure, the surgeon should rely on visual cues to enhance force feedback.CAUTION: Do not clean instrument tips with another instrument intraoperatively. If an instrument tip requires cleaning, remove the instrument from the cannula and gently clean the tip. High Frequency Electrosurgery PrecautionsThe safe and effective use of endoscopic electrosurgery largely depends on factors solely under the control of the operating surgeon. Only surgeons having adequate training and experience with endoscopic electrosurgery should perform endoscopic procedures involving electrosurgery. The instructions, warnings and cautions provided with the Electrosurgical Generator Unit (ESU) must be followed or else serious injury or surgical complications may occur to the patient. CAUTION: Do not use electrosurgical equipment unless properly trained in the specific procedure being undertaken. Follow all instructions, warnings, and cautions provided with the ESU.
da Vinci® Si™Introduction 1-11DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/14CAUTION:  Inadvertent electrosurgical energy may cause serious injury or surgical complications to the patient. It is important to ensure a full understanding of the da Vinci  Surgical System energy user interface and use caution when working near critical anatomy.CAUTION: The Intuitive Surgical monopolar electrosurgical instruments are designed for use with a maximum peak voltage of 3kV (6kV peak-to-peak). Do not use settings on the ESU that exceed a 3kV peak. Do not attempt to use the footswitch on the Surgeon Console with ESUs that are not compatible with the da Vinci Si System. Consult with your Intuitive Surgical representative regarding compatible models. A table in the Instruments and Accessories User Manual lists compatible generators, modes and maximum power settings to stay below the 3kV peak limit.CAUTION:  Electrosurgery may produce interference with internal or external pacemakers. Electrosurgery may cause these devices to enter an asynchronous mode or may inhibit pacemaker operation entirely. Consult the pacemaker manufacturer for further information when using electrosurgery in patients with cardiac pacemakers. CAUTION:  Always check the cables, ESU, and instruments for insulation damage and proper function before use. CAUTION:  To avoid inadvertent thermal damage to surrounding tissue and other hazards, observe the following. • Ensure that the dispersive electrode is securely affixed to the patient, placed as close as possible to the operating field, and properly connected to the ESU.• For monopolar instruments, always use the lowest output setting that achieves the desired surgical effect while staying within 3kV maximum peak voltage. Maximum power levels to stay below this limit are listed in a table in the Instruments and Accessories User Manual. • Do not deliberately or unintentionally use one instrument to energize other endoscopic instruments. Energizing other endoscopic instruments may cause tissue damage inside or outside the field of view. This damage could occur at points near the tip or at the port site (cannula) of the energized instrument.• Secure and route the ESU cable to the Intuitive Surgical Instrument to prevent cable damage and unintended disconnection. • Keep patient from coming in contact with grounded metal parts. • Place any monitoring electrodes as far as possible from the surgical electrodes or the dispersive electrode when high frequency (HF) surgical equipment and physiological monitoring equipment are used simultaneously on the same patient. • Do not use flammable anesthetics or oxidizing gases such as nitrous oxide and oxygen. • Use only non-flammable agents for cleaning and disinfecting. If flammable agents are used for cleaning or disinfecting or as solvents, they must be allowed to evaporate before application of HF energy. CAUTION:  Make certain that the ESU audible output can be heard by the operating surgeon during ESU use with the da Vinci Si System.

System Overviewda Vinci® Si™2-1DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/142System OverviewThe da Vinci Si Surgical System is a sophisticated robotic platform designed to enable complex surgery using a minimally invasive approach. The da Vinci Si System consists of three main components, shown in Figure 2.1 below, from left to right: the Surgeon Console, the Patient Cart and the Vision Cart.Figure 2.1 Main components of the da Vinci Si Surgical SystemThis chapter introduces the system components in the following sections:•2.1 The da Vinci Si System Main Components, page 2-2•2.2 The da Vinci Si-e Surgical System, page 2-4•2.3 Surgeon Console Overview, page 2-5•2.4 Patient Cart Overview, page 2-8•2.5 Vision Cart Overview, page 2-11Surgeon ConsolePatient CartVision Cart
da Vinci® Si™System Overview 2-2DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/142.1 The da Vinci Si System Main Components Surgeon ConsoleThe Surgeon Console (Figure 2.2) is the control center for the da Vinci Si System. The surgeon sits outside the sterile field at the Surgeon Console, using eyes, hands and feet to control a 3D endoscope and EndoWrist® instruments, by means of two master controllers and foot pedals.Figure 2.2 Surgeon ConsoleAs seen in the stereo viewer, instrument tips appear to align with the surgeon's hands at the master controllers. This design is intended to simulate the natural alignment of eye, hand and instrument of open surgery. Natural alignment, in turn, helps to optimize hand-eye coordination. This means that the da Vinci Si System enables dexterity comparable to open surgery in a minimally invasive procedure. Further control is provided by motion scaling and tremor reduction, which minimizes the impact of natural hand tremor or inadvertent movement. The Surgeon Console operator also has the option to change the view from full screen mode to a multi-image mode (TilePro™), which displays the 3D image of the operative field along with up to two additional images provided by auxiliary inputs. Lastly, the Surgeon Console has several ergonomic adjustments to accommodate a wide range of body types, providing optimal comfort while performing surgery.
System Overviewda Vinci® Si™2-3DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/14Patient CartThe Patient Cart (Figure 2.3) is the operative component of the da Vinci Si System, and its primary function is to support the instrument arms and camera arm. Figure 2.3 Patient CartThe  da Vinci Si System uses remote center technology. The remote center is a fixed point in space around which the Patient Cart arms move. Remote center technology enables the System to maneuver instruments and endoscopes in the surgical site while exerting minimal force on the patient's body wall. The Patient Cart operator works in the sterile field, assisting the Surgeon Console operator by exchanging instruments and endoscopes, and by performing other patient-side activities. To help ensure patient-safety, the actions of the Patient Cart operator take precedence over actions of the Surgeon Console operator.EndoWrist Instruments Figure 2.4 Examples of EndoWrist InstrumentsIntuitive Surgical designs EndoWrist instruments to give surgeons natural dexterity and more than natural range of motion, compared to unaided human hands. This allows for greater precision when operating in a minimally invasive environment. EndoWrist instruments, when used with the da Vinci Si System, are designed to support the most rapid and most precise suturing, dissection and tissue manipulation available with any surgical platform.
da Vinci® Si™System Overview 2-4DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/14EndoWrist instruments are multi-use instruments available in 12 mm, 8 mm, and 5 mm diameters. For a complete listing of EndoWrist instruments, please refer to the current Instrument and Accessory Catalog (PN 871145).Note: da Vinci Si is compatible with da Vinci S EndoWrist instruments.Vision CartThe Vision Cart (Figure 2.5) houses the system's central processing and vision equipment. It includes a 24” touchscreen monitor and provides adjustable shelves for optional ancillary surgical equipment such as ESUs and insufflators. It is operated by a non-sterile person during surgery.Figure 2.5 HD Vision Cart2.2 The da Vinci Si-e Surgical SystemThe  da Vinci Si-e Surgical System is an upgradable configuration of the da Vinci Si System, visibly distinguished by a 3-arm Patient Cart.

System Overviewda Vinci® Si™2-9DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/14Setup Joints Setup joints (Figure 2.11) are used to position the Patient Cart arms in order to establish the remote center in the surgical field. Setup joints are designed with limited freedom of movement to facilitate port placement. (See 9.2 Moving the Patient Cart Arms on page 9-3 for details.)Figure 2.11 setup jointInstrument ArmsInstrument arms (Figure 2.12), once sterile drapes are applied, provide the sterile interface for EndoWrist instruments. The Patient Cart operator initially positions the instrument arms in a neutral position before the procedure begins. The Surgeon Console operator moves the instrument arms using the master controllers.Figure 2.12 Example of an instrument arm with attached instrumentVertical rangeof motionSetup JointTelescoping Axis
da Vinci® Si™System Overview 2-10DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/14A telescoping insertion axis is designed to minimize collisions and allow the Patient Cart operator to reposition instrument arms. da Vinci Si instrument arms also have a wide range of motion to help simplify port setup and provide greater reach into the patient anatomy. The instrument arm remote center is indicated by the thick, center black band on the instrument cannula. When the Patient Cart is docked to a cannula inserted in the patient, the instrument arm remote center should be in the patient’s body wall. This remote center location minimizes both port-site trauma and stress exerted on the EndoWrist instruments during surgery. The Surgeon Console operator cannot move the instrument arm remote center. However, the Patient Cart operator can reposition the remote center by pressing the port clutch button and repositioning the instrument arm.At the top of the arms are LEDs which provide feedback on the status of each arm. For LED color interpretation, see Figure 9.2 LED Quick Reference on page 9-2.Figure 2.13 Arm LED colorsCamera ArmThe camera arm (Figure 2.14) provides the sterile interface for the 3D endoscope. The Patient Cart operator initially positions the camera arm in a neutral position before the procedure begins. The Surgeon Console operator moves the camera arm using the Master Controls. The camera arm remote center is located near the tip of the camera cannula. At the top of the camera arm is an LED to provide feedback on the status of the arm.Figure 2.14 Camera arm with attached endoscope

da Vinci® Si™System Overview 2-12DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/14CoreThe  da Vinci Si Core is the system’s central connection point where all system, auxiliary equipment, and AV connections are routed. (See Chapter 4 System Connections for details.)Instrument Control Box (ICB)If installed, the following information is applicable. The ICB is a hardware upgrade installed by an  Intuitive Surgical field engineer on the lower shelf of the Vision Cart. It powers certain functions of advanced EndoWrist instruments such as the Vessel Sealer. Intuitive supplies instructions to use the ICB as part of the instructions to use the applicable instrument.IlluminatorLighting for the surgical field is provided by the Illuminator (Figure 2.16). The light from the Illuminator is delivered to the endoscope via a fiber optic light-guide cable and projected onto the surgical site through the endoscope. The Illuminator has front panel controls for increasing or decreasing the light output and turning the lamp on or off. (See 7.3 Working with the Illuminator Controls on page 7-14 for details). Figure 2.16 Illuminator and CCUEndoscopesThe da Vinci Si HD Vision System uses a 12 mm or 8.5 mm 3D endoscope with either a straight(0°) or angled (30°) tip. (For more detail specific to the 8.5 mm endoscope, see Appendix F: 8.5 mm Endoscope for the da Vinci Si System.) Light from the Illuminator is sent down the shaft of the endoscope (Figure 2.17 and Figure 2.18) via fiber optics and projected onto the surgical site. Heat from the fiber optics helps to minimize fogging at the endoscope lens. The Light Guide Connector Intensity Display and Controls

OR Configurationda Vinci® Si™3-1DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/143OR ConfigurationThis chapter explains how to arrange da Vinci Si System components in the operating room for maximum safety and ergonomic benefit. The following subjects are covered:•3.1 Surgeon Console Positioning, page 3-1•3.2 Patient Cart Positioning, page 3-2•3.3 Vision Cart Positioning, page 3-63.1 Surgeon Console PositioningThe Surgeon Console is placed outside of the sterile field. Use the handles on either side of the Surgeon Console (Figure 3.3) for moving or positioning. Labels say “PUSH” near the handles for pushing on both sides.Figure 3.1 “PUSH” label near handles on sides of Surgeon ConsoleNever push or pull the console from the back or the front. A label near the top of the pillar on the back illustrates the correct way to move it. Separate “no hands” labels on both lateral supports discourage placing hands there to move it.Figure 3.2 Labels on rear of Surgeon ConsoleDo not move Surgeon Console from the backMove Surgeon Console using handles on side
da Vinci® Si™OR Configuration 3-2DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/14• When possible, orient the Surgeon Console so the Surgeon Console operator will have a view of the operative field and a clear line of communication with the Patient Cart operator.Figure 3.3 Surgeon Console handles and brakes•Brakes (indicated by “BRAKE” label) are located on each side of the base on the Surgeon Console (Figure 3.3). The Surgeon Console should be locked once it is positioned for surgery. Step on the brake pedal to apply that brake; the lock symbol will become visible when the pedal is depressed, indicating the brake is applied. You need activate only one brake to lower the footswitch panel. When possible, apply both brakes for best stability. Step on the depressed brake to release it. Both brakes must be released to raise the footswitch panel and enable Surgeon Console transport.3.2 Patient Cart PositioningPlace the Patient Cart in the sterile field. We recommend two people to safely move the Patient Cart: one to operate the motor drive (or push the cart when in neutral) and the other positioned opposite to ensure the arms and cart do not accidentally hit anything.Note: Use extreme care when moving or positioning the Patient Cart to ensure the arms do not hit any objects. If an arm hits an object while the Patient Cart is being moved or positioned, contact Intuitive Surgical Technical Support to have the Patient Cart inspected for damage.• You will need to dedicate a space in the room where the Patient Cart can be draped before moving it into place for surgery. This should be an area where it will not easily contact non-sterile objects nor impede traffic. Once the Patient Cart is draped and the patient is positioned, prepared and ports are placed, use the Patient Cart motor drive to move the cart into the sterile field (see Motor Drive Operation below).HandlesBrakesHandlesBrakeapplied

It includes the text, “IF NO CART POWER, USE NEUTRAL TO MOVE CART”.Figure 3.5 Label on top of motor drive tillerFigure 3.6 Patient Cart power panelTo operate the motor drive: 1. First, make sure the Patient Cart is powered on. See 5.2 Powering On the System on page 5-2. See 5.1 Stand-Alone Mode on page 5-1, for instructions to power up only the Patient Cart, when it is not connected to the Surgeon Console or Vision Cart. 2. Ensure the shift switches are in the drive position (see Figure 3.8).
OR Configurationda Vinci® Si™3-5DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/143. Hold the throttle enable switch and rotate the throttle away from you or towards you to move in that direction. A label illustrates this two-part step:Figure 3.7 Label: How to drive the Patient Cart• The Cart Power button flashes green when the throttle enable switch is activated. • Control the drive speed by how far you rotate the throttle.4. To stop motorized movement, release the throttle enable switch.WARNING:  For patient safety, both shift switches must be kept in the drive (D) position so that the motor drive remains engaged during surgery (see Figure 3.8).Note: Use extreme care when moving or positioning the Patient Cart to ensure the arms do not hit any objects. If an arm hits an object while the Patient Cart is being moved or positioned, contact Intuitive Surgical Technical Support to have the Patient Cart inspected for damage.Note: For safety reasons, the motor drive will not engage whenever cannulae or instruments are installed on the system. A yellow LED on the motor drive interface labeled “Cannula Installed: Cart Drive Disabled” will indicate when cannulae or instruments are installed and motor drive is non-operational. Note: When operating on battery, the motor drive does not work if battery power is too low. The battery status indicators show the amount of battery power. The lower part of the motor drive interface explains the meaning of flashing or red BATTERY LEDs:FLASHING: CHARGE BATTERY RED: INSUFFICIENT CHARGE FOR SURGERYNote: The Patient Cart battery should be adequately charged. If not, an error message appears on the monitors. You can override the error if the Patient Cart is plugged into AC power. Shift SwitchesIn the event the Patient Cart should need to be moved without use of the motor drive (for example, during a power loss), rotate both shift switches (Figure 3.8) to the neutral (N)position. The cart can then be moved manually. Once you have finished moving the cart, place both shift switches in the drive (D) position to set the Patient Cart brakes.Note: The cart is capable of passing over thresholds of up to 10 mm high by 80 mm wide. If a threshold is high enough that the motor drive is not able to drive over it, the cart can be manually pushed over the threshold. Put the shift switches (Figure 3.8) in “N” for neutral, and manually push the cart over the threshold.

System Connectionsda Vinci® Si™4-6DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/144.3 Camera Head Cable ConnectionsThe camera head has two cables: one for video and one for illumination. Both the camera head video cable and the light guide cable are 5.75 m (18 ft 6 in) long. Note: Intuitive has shipped da Vinci Si Systems with two different kinds of camera head video cable, which can be readily distinguished by having either black ends or gray ends. This section addresses use of both kinds of cable. The cables and their connectors on the camera head and CCU are not cross-compatible, that is, a cable with black ends will not work with a system designed to work with a cable that has gray ends. Users must not attempt to switch camera cables to an incompatible system. Figure 4.6 Ends and connectors of each kind of camera cableConnecting the Camera CableAlthough the steps are basically the same for the two kinds of camera cable, note the distinguishing details that pertain to cables with black or gray ends called out in this section.Note: The camera cable with black ends has a yellow ring on the (male) CCU connector that must be paired only with the (female) receptacle on the CCU, which has a blue ring.Follow these steps to connect the camera cable (see Figure 4.7). 1. Attach the camera cable to the receptacle on the Camera Control Unit (CCU). The connector is keyed. Therefore, to successfully insert the connector, you must match the alignment arrows on the cable connector and the top of the CCU receptacle as shown.Figure 4.7 Camera cable connection to CCUCamera cable with gray ends, CCU connector Camera cable with black ends, CCU connectorNut to secure connectorKeyed connector requires correct alignmentThreaded insideYellow ring to be covered when nut properly tightenedMatch alignment arrowsTighten nut
da Vinci® Si™System Connections 4-7DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/142. Carefully align and direct the connector straight in; begin to tighten the nut only when you are certain it is not cross-threaded. 3. Once started properly, tighten (clockwise) the large metal nut around the inserted cable end. It is threaded so you can hand tighten the connector and secure it. For the cable with black ends, to ensure a good connection, tighten the nut until you can no longer see any part of the yellow ring around the base of the nut.Connecting the Light Guide Cable4. Insert the light guide cable connector into its receptacle on the Illuminator as shown. You will hear a click when the connector is fully inserted. Gently pull on the light guide connector to confirm that the connector is fully inserted into the receptacle. Figure 4.8 Connecting the light guide cableCare of Camera CablesThe fiber optic light guide cable and camera cable are susceptible to damage from kinking or crushing or contamination to their connectors if disconnected, all of which degrades light transmission, and could diminish video quality or even lead to cable failure. To preserve the life of your cables, follow these guidelines to care for them.• Leave both camera cables connected at both ends when not in use. This protects the connectors and receptacles from contamination.
System Connectionsda Vinci® Si™4-8DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/14• Use the S-hooks provided with the camera cables to bind the light guide and camera head video cable together, as shown below. The S-hooks keep both cables together and untangled, which helps you to handle and store them without coiling them too tightly or kinking them.Figure 4.9 S-hooks to hold camera cables togetherNote: If you need additional S-hooks, you can acquire them from Intuitive Surgical and install them yourself. Contact Intuitive Surgical Customer Service.• Store the camera head in its custom cutout in the Vision Cart drawer below the CCU, and coil the camera cable pair loosely, and hang the excess cable on the hook on the side of the Vision Cart. The hook on the side is large enough to accommodate both the blue system cable and the camera cables. See Figure 4.10 for an example.Figure 4.10 Store camera cables connectedInstalled S-hooksConnected camera head in storage drawer
da Vinci® Si™System Connections 4-9DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/144.4 Auxiliary Device Connections WARNING:  Do not plug additional equipment into the same wall outlet as the Vision Cart. This could potentially overload the circuit.Note: If combinations of the installed energy instruments or connected ESUs make mapping of energy pedals ambiguous, the system will not map nor activate the pedals for that energy type. For instance, you cannot be in simultaneous energy control of two energized instruments of the same type (for example, bipolar and bipolar). This means that if a surgeon is actively controlling two bipolar instruments at the same time with the right and left master controllers, then he/she will not be able to activate energy.Compatible electrosurgical units (ESUs) can be actuated after connecting the appropriate energy activation cable to any of the auxiliary connectors on the back of the Core. You can attach up to 3 ESUs at a time. Cables are color-coded by ESU model. See the Instruments and Accessories User Manual (PN 550675) for a complete list of cables.Figure 4.11 Representative Auxiliary Device CableFigure 4.12 Representative ESU setupCAUTION:  Ensure that only compatible ESUs are connected to the da Vinci Si System. Refer to the Instruments and Accessories User Manual (PN 550675) for a complete list of compatible ESUs. Performance of cables or accessories other than those specified in the Instruments and Accessories User Manual cannot be guaranteed. Any damage to the system resulting from using an incompatible ESU will not be covered under warranty.Connect to ESUConnects to da Vinci Si Coreda Vinci SiCoreGyrusG400CovidienForce Fx

Tighten the screw lock completely to ensure that the cable is fully connected.Figure 4.13 Auxiliary device connection (back of ESU)2. Plug the system end of the cable into any of the three Energy receptacles on the back of the Core (Figure 4.14). Align the red dot on the cable connector with the red dot to the right of the receptacle. You should hear an audible click when the cable engages properly. Gently pull on the cable connector to verify that the cable is fully seated. When the ESU and system are turned on, the corresponding LED indicator will turn on.Figure 4.14 Auxiliary device connections (back of Core)Note: If the energy activation cable is unavailable or non-functional, the generator manufacturer's footswitch may be used. In this case, the system will not provide any feedback to the user in the Surgeon Console viewer.

Startupda Vinci® Si™5-1DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/145StartupThis chapter explains how to power up the da Vinci Si System components. It will cover the following topics: •5.1 Stand-Alone Mode, page 5-1•5.2 Powering On the System, page 5-2•5.3 Startup Sequence, page 5-5•5.4 Preparing the Patient Cart for Draping, page 5-6•5.5 Stow Position, page 5-75.1 Stand-Alone ModeFigure 5.1 System power buttonsThe Power buttons on the Vision Cart, Patient Cart and Surgeon Console are lit amber when in standby mode (connected to AC power but not powered on), blue when powered on. The Power buttons are not lit at all when not connected to AC power.The Surgeon Console, Patient Cart and Vision Cart can all be powered on individually, known as stand-alone mode.While the Surgeon Console is in stand-alone mode, you can adjust the ergonomic controls. No touchpad functions are available.Note: To operate in dual console mode (using a second Surgeon Console--see 10.5 Dual Console Surgery), simply plug the second console’s system cable in one of the available Fiber ports on the back of the Core. No other connection is necessary, except of course to plug in the Surgeon Console to a dedicated AC power outlet. The second Surgeon Console behaves just as the first with respect to power operations, as described in this section. While the Patient Cart is in stand-alone mode and not connected to the Vision Cart, the arm LEDs do not provide any feedback and system accessories do not engage. You can use the Patient Cart motor drive and clutch buttons when not connected to the Core nor to AC power.While the Vision Cart is in stand-alone mode, all vision system functions are available (for example, video sources, auto-calibration, white balance, etc.).Surgeon Consolepower buttonPatient Cartpower buttonVision Cartpower button
da Vinci® Si™Startup 5-2DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/141. To power on the Surgeon Console or Vision Cart in stand-alone mode, make sure the power cord is plugged in, and press the Power button (Figure 5.1).2. To power on the Patient Cart in stand-alone mode, press the Power button on the Patient Cart (Figure 5.1). The Patient Cart does not need to be plugged in for stand-alone mode.Note: Each of the Surgeon Console, Patient Cart and Vision Cart has a mains circuit breaker switch on its rear that must be in the on position (indicated by “I” near each switch) for that subsystem to power on. The Core, Illuminator and Camera Control Unit (CCU) each also has its own component power switch on the back that must be in the on position for that component to power on. All of these subsystem and component power switches are intended to be left in the on position, and used only in special circumstances like those described below under Addressing Anomalous Power Behavior, page 5-2.5.2 Powering On the SystemWhen the Surgeon Console, Patient Cart, and Vision Cart are fully connected and plugged into AC power, you can power on all of them by pushing any of the system Power buttons.Note: If any of the individual components are in stand-alone mode and you connect the system cables, the system will power itself on.Note: System cables may be connected at any time, but once connected, cannot be unplugged until the system has been completely powered down.Note: The Patient Cart battery should be adequately charged. If not, an error message appears on the monitors. You can override the error if the Patient Cart is plugged into AC power. Addressing Anomalous Power BehaviorAnomalous and rare circumstances may result in the da Vinci System as a whole, or one of the Patient Cart, Vision Cart or Surgeon Console separately, to fail to power on normally, or to undergo an automatic, controlled power-down sequence when running. The former can happen, for example, due to faulty power connections. The latter can happen, for example, when a system component overheats. This section explains what to do in such situations.Check AC Power ConnectionsIn all cases of anomalous power behavior, first check AC power connections, as follows:1. Confirm that the power cord for each of the Surgeon Console, Patient Cart and Vision Cart is properly connected to a dedicated AC power outlet.
Startupda Vinci® Si™5-3DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/142. Confirm that the mains circuit breaker switch on each of the Surgeon Console, Patient Cart and Vision Cart is correctly set to the on position (indicated by “I” near each switch). These switches are found on the rear of each component near the power cord inlet.Figure 5.2 Circuit breaker switches on (“I”) for main components• On the Patient Cart, make sure that the EPO button is not depressed, since it requires a second press after use to reset it once it is used. See “Hard-Cycle” Power below.3. On the Vision Cart, confirm that each of its component power switches—for the Core, Camera Control Unit and Illuminator—is correctly set to the on position (indicated by “I” on the switch). These components are not intended to be turned off or disconnected at any time unless you are directed to do so by Intuitive Surgical Product Support. Also confirm that each Vision Cart component power cord is plugged into the integrated Vision Cart power strip.Figure 5.3 Vision Cart component switches on (“I”)Check Connection of System CablesCheck that the blue system cables are properly connected between the Core and the Surgeon Console and Patient Cart. See section 4.2 System Cable Connections on page 4-3.“Hard-Cycle” PowerIf the entire system or one of the Patient Cart, Vision Cart or Surgeon Console fails to power on normally by pressing one of the Power buttons, first check the AC power connections as described above. If all AC power connections are complete, follow these steps to “hard-cycle” power on the whole system:Patient Cart Vision Cart (at base)Surgeon ConsoleEPO button not depressedIlluminator Camera Control UnitCore
da Vinci® Si™Startup 5-4DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/141. Remove AC power from the Surgeon Console and Vision Cart by flipping each of their mains circuit breaker switches to off (indicated by “O” near each switch). Leave them off until the step in this sequence (below) that instructs you to switch them on again.2. Because the Patient Cart will operate on battery even if you switch off its mains circuit breaker, you must use the EPO (Emergency Power Off) button—the large red button on the rear of the Patient Cart. The EPO button both disconnects the Patient Cart from AC power and exits the default standby or sleep mode. Press the EPO button once to remove all power; it will remain partially depressed. After at least 2 seconds, press the EPO button again to reset it; it will rebound to its fully extended ready position, as it was before.3. Switch on the mains circuit breaker switches on the Surgeon Console and Vision Cart. (The Patient Cart circuit breaker should already be in the on position; make sure it is.) After about 30 seconds, all three system components should be back in their default standby power state, indicated by their Power buttons being lit amber.4. Power on the system normally, by pressing the Power button on one of the Surgeon Console, Vision Cart or Patient Cart.• To address anomalous power behavior when trying to power a single system component in stand-alone mode, “hard-cycle” power as described above for the applicable component.Restart from Automatic High Temperature Power DownThe entire da Vinci System is designed to undergo an automatic, controlled power-down sequence in case a component or subsystem overheats while in normal operating mode (as opposed to maintenance mode or stand-alone mode), thereby preventing system damage. When the system detects overheating, it automatically initiates a 60-second power down sequence and displays a message announcing it and showing the countdown. The power down sequence cannot be interrupted. When it is complete, all three system Power buttons will be lit amber, indicating the systems are in their default standby or sleep state. • We recommend that you wait 5 minutes for the overheated portion of the system to cool, and if possible, address situations that may be causing the system to overheat. For example, make sure that all vented system covers are not blocked, and move systems away from objects that may obstruct air flow in and out of system covers.Follow the usual steps to restart the system from standby:1. Press one of the system Power buttons. This powers on the system as normal; the Powerbutton LED flashes amber as normal during the power-up sequence, and lights solid blue when power-up is complete.• If overheating recurs, you can repeat the restart to recover, but we recommend that you seek assistance from ISI Technical Support to address the cause of overheating.“Cool Mode” Restart from Stand-Alone ModeIf overheating of a single component results in automatic power-down when it is operating in stand-alone mode, it requires three Power button presses to recover that component to normal operation. This is called “cool mode,” the mode in which the system component is cooling from an overheated state. The button press behavior is as follows:1. First Power button press has no noticeable effect.2. Second Power button press returns the system component to standby state, as indicated by its Power button lighting amber after several seconds.
Startupda Vinci® Si™5-5DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/143. Third Power button press powers on the component normally.• This restart behavior also applies if overheating occurs when a component or system is in maintenance mode. Maintenance mode is reserved for use by Intuitive Surgical service personnel, so users generally do not encounter this situation.5.3 Startup SequenceDuring the startup sequence, a system integrity test is performed. As part of this test, the master controllers and all Patient Cart arms that are not stowed perform a self-test. The masters move to their start position and must arrive there for the system to work. If a master is impeded somehow, simply move it by hand to free it and it will move to its start position. The instrument arms of the Patient Cart fully extend and perform a short mechanical integrity test, if no cannula is installed and they are not in stow position (see 5.5 Stow Position on page 5-7). If an arm bumps into something during the test, use the port clutch button to move the arm clear of the obstacle. When clear, press and release the port clutch button to enable the test to resume.Once the system integrity test is successfully completed, the arm LEDs (of all arms not stowed) will be lit white.Note: During the startup sequence, do not put your head or other objects in the stereo viewer. Do not activate any of the da Vinci Si System controls, including the clutch buttons, footswitches, etc. While most button-presses will be ignored during the startup sequence, some may cause a non-recoverable fault, which will mean that you will have to restart the system. The Emergency Stop feature is available during startup if needed. Once the system beeps, you may interact with the system controls.Note: If the system detects a mounted sterile adapter, instrument, or cannula before startup, the Patient Cart arms will not move during startup. This is a feature that is designed to allow the system to stay safely connected to a patient during the startup sequence. Note: Instruments should be removed when starting the system, as long as this is clinically acceptable.
da Vinci® Si™Startup 5-6DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/145.4 Preparing the Patient Cart for DrapingPrepare the Patient Cart arms for draping by moving each arm's insertion axis to a vertical position (90º). If draping instrument arm 3, ensure it is in front of the Patient Cart tower (Figure 5.4).Figure 5.4 Instrument arms extended for draping1. To move instrument arm 3 from one side of the Patient Cart to the other, release the latch on the setup joint link (see Figure 5.5) closest to the Patient Cart tower. Figure 5.5 Moving instrument arm 32. Then use the port clutch button to move the arm to the opposite side of the Patient Cart. • Ensure the setup joint axis re-latches when the arm is moved completely to the other side. To enhance flexibility for adjustments, the setup joint axis can be left unlatched. If instrument arm 3 is not to be used during the procedure, leave the arm in stow position (see Stow Position on page 5-7.)Release latch
Startupda Vinci® Si™5-7DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/145.5 Stow PositionThe instrument arms are designed to be stowed, either for transport or when not in use. While in stow position, the instrument arms will not move during the startup sequence. When an instrument arm is in stow position, it cannot be activated and only clutching and fault state LEDs function. Note: Use extreme care when moving or positioning the Patient Cart to ensure the arms do not hit any objects. If an arm hits an object while the Patient Cart is being moved or positioned, contact Intuitive Surgical Technical Support to have the Patient Cart inspected for damage.To put instrument arm 1 or 2 in stow position:1. Move the instrument arm close to the Patient Cart tower. 2. Once instrument arm 1 or 2 is close to the Patient Cart tower, the instrument arm insertion axis may be collapsed entirely and pitched into the full back position.To put instrument arm 3 in stow position: 1. Ensure the first setup joint link of instrument arm 3 is directed toward instrument arm 2 (to the right when looking from the rear).2. Arrange the setup joint links as pictured in Figure 5.6.Figure 5.6 Arranging instrument arm 3 for stow positionArm 3
da Vinci® Si™Startup 5-8DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/143. Move the insertion axis to its fully collapsed and pitched back position, making sure the instrument arm tucks under the bottom-most link (as shown in Figure 5.7). Move the setup joint links as close to the Patient Cart tower as possible.Figure 5.7 Instrument arm 3 in position to be stowed4. Once instrument arm 3 is behind the Patient Cart tower (as shown in Figure 5.7), it can be stowed. Move the entire setup joint to the bottom of its vertical range of motion.Figure 5.8 Setup joint at bottom of vertical range of motionArm 3
Startupda Vinci® Si™5-9DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/14You can take Instrument arm 3 out of stow-position at any time using its port clutch button to move the arm. As soon as you release the port clutch button in front of the Patient Cart tower, the arm is enabled and the insertion axis extends in preparation for draping._________________________________End of section______________________________

Drapingda Vinci® Si™6-2DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/146.1 Draping Guidelines• For speed, sterility and safety, draping should be done by a two-person team: a scrub nurse or surgical assistant and a circulating nurse who can handle non-sterile components. • Drape the arms systematically, moving from left to right or right to left. • First drape the column. You should then drape instrument arm 3 (if it will be used).• Using the clutch buttons, the circulating nurse should move each straightened arm to provide plenty of room to maneuver around the arm. • Once an arm is draped, the scrub nurse should move the draped arm away from the undraped arms and prepare to drape the next arm. To drape the da Vinci Si,  you need a three-quarter drape for the column, two or three instrument arm drapes, a camera arm drape, and a camera head drape. Draping the touchscreen is optional. Drapes are available for order as complete kits and as individual items. Before beginning a procedure, make sure that you have sufficient draping supplies – at least one backup of each required drape – to account for inadvertent contamination while setting up the system, and have the endoscope laid out and ready for use. WARNING:  If the drape packaging is torn or open, do not use the drape, as the drape may be unsterile. Note: Never substitute generic drapes for Intuitive Surgical drapes. Drapes are available from  Intuitive Surgical or your distributor. Each piece of the custom draping has been designed to maintain sterility and to make the draping process easy and efficient.6.2 Column Covering ProcedureIntuitive Surgical recommends covering the Patient Cart column with a three-quarter drape for procedures where fluid may splash onto the column. You should cover the column before draping the instrument arms and camera arm. • Minimum length and width for three-quarter drape: 75" x 50" (190.5 cm x 127 cm)• Maximum length and width for three-quarter drape: 80" x 60" (203.2 cm x 152.4 cm)
da Vinci® Si™Draping 6-3DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/141. Prepare the Patient Cart for draping by exposing the column as shown below.Figure 6.2 Patient Cart prepared for draping2. Wrap a three-quarter drape around the Patient Cart column. Use the drape in landscape orientation ( ). Place the drape in the following areas:• Over the setup joint ledge for instrument arms 1, 2, and the camera arm.Figure 6.3 Setup joint ledgePatient Cart columnSetup joint ledge

Drapingda Vinci® Si™6-6DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/144. After moving any instrument or camera arm setup joint up or down, you should readjust the three-quarter drape. Always ensure the drape remains tight and secure above the setup joint ledge for instrument arms 1, 2, and the camera arm.5. Straighten out the drape so that it neatly covers the base of the cart. Figure 6.7 Setup joint ledge | Completed Patient Cart with drape6.3 Instrument Arm Draping Procedure Note: The blue band on the drape indicates the sterility barrier. If a non-sterile person is assisting in installation of the drape, he/she must not grasp the drape anywhere beyond the blue band.1.

You may wish to confirm that the arm moves without tearing the drapes or straps.Figure 6.13 Securing the drape with the drape straps9. Bend the blue flex-strips to create a clear instrument insertion path along the axis of the instrument arm.Figure 6.14 Bend the blue flex-stripsStraps
da Vinci® Si™Draping 6-11DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/14Sterile Adapter Engagement VerificationIt is important to ensure the sterile adapter built into the drape is properly engaged with the instrument arm, so the instrument works properly when installed. Follow these steps and best practices to ensure engagement.Note: Once a sterile adapter is successfully engaged on the arm, it should not need to be removed or reseated until the end of the procedure.Open NotchOpen Notch Location:Top Left disc – 7 o’clockTop right disc – 11 o’clockBottom right disc – 3 o’clockBottom left disc – 10 o’clockClockwise from top left:“7, 11, 3, 10”The discs should be in this alignment after draping and before installation of an instrument.After the Sterile Adapter is attached and the discs rotate back and forth, verify the position of the open notch on each disc.If any open notch does not match the position above, use the closed tip of a sterile Kelly Forceps or Hemostat instrument to manual rotate the disc.Rotate the disc in either direction until it clicks into place. The disc should no longer rotate once it is fully engaged. If the sterile adapter does not engage properly, remove and reseat the instrument arm drape.
Drapingda Vinci® Si™6-12DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/146.4 Camera Arm Draping ProcedureBefore you begin draping the camera arm, the sterile person should move the draped instrument arms away from the camera arm, to provide plenty of room to walk between the arms. Note: Before draping the camera arm, make sure you install the correct endoscope cannula mount based on which endoscope cannula will be used during the procedure. Refer to the Instruments and Accessories User Manual for more information.Note: The blue band on the drape indicates the sterility barrier. If a non-sterile person is assisting in installation of the drape, he/she must not grasp the drape anywhere beyond the blue band. To begin draping the camera arm: 1. Circulating Nurse: Deliver the camera arm drape to the scrub nurse in sterile fashioning the arrow-side facing up. 2. Scrub Nurse: Unfold the drape on a sterile table and remove the white retainer from the sterile adapter.Figure 6.15 Unfold camera arm drape and remove white retainerRemove
da Vinci® Si™Draping 6-13DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/143. Insert one hand into the bottom opening of the drape and hold the top of the drape with the other hand. Lower the drape over the insertion axis and then lift the top of the drape over the top of the arm’s insertion axis.Figure 6.16 Lower over insertion axis, install sterile adapter4. Now install the camera arm sterile adapter into the carriage on the camera arm. Using the side of one hand as shown above, make a trough in the drape through the carriage to create room for the endoscope to pass through. Then firmly push the camera arm sterile adapter into place (Figure 6.16). To check if it is properly seated, pull up on the camera arm sterile adapter, which should remain attached to the camera arm. Re-seat and re-check as necessary.5. Using the cuff of the drape, move the drape down along the camera arm setup joint to the center column of the Patient Cart (Figure 6.17).

Bend the blue flex-strips to create a clear path for the endoscope along the arm’s insertion axis, and to ensure the camera arm drape does not stretch or tear during system operation.Figure 6.20 Bend the blue flex-strips around the insertion axis6.5 Camera Head Draping ProcedureNote: Before draping the camera head, wipe the lenses to remove any debris or smudges.Since the Vision Cart and cables are not sterile, a non-sterile person (circulating nurse below) must assist a sterile person (scrub nurse below) with draping and connecting the camera head. (The camera head itself is not sterile and must not be autoclaved.)To drape the camera head:1. Circulating nurse: Deliver the camera drape to the scrub nurse in sterile fashion. 2. Scrub nurse: Unfold the drape. Then insert a hand into the open end of the drape, and grab the camera head sterile adapter firmly.Figure 6.21 Attaching camera head to sterile adapter3.

You must align the pins in the camera head with the channels in the sterile adapter, push down and turn until the camera head locks into place. You will hear a click once it locks into place. Icons on the camera head ring-nut (shown at left) indicate the direction you must turn to lock or unlock the sterile adapter in the camera head.4. Scrub nurse: Invert the drape over the camera head.Figure 6.22 Invert drape over camera head, pull along cables5. Circulating nurse: Pull the drape along the cables.Note: To avoid contamination, arrange the draped assembly and cables on the table in an “S” shape, or coil into a sterile basin.6.6 Touchscreen Draping Procedure (Optional) Note: The blue band on the drape indicates the sterility barrier. If a non-sterile person is assisting in installation of the drape, he/she must not grasp the drape anywhere beyond the blue band. Due to the size of the touchscreen drape, a second sterile person may be needed to assist with touchscreen draping. To begin draping the touchscreen monitor: 1. Circulating Nurse: Remove the monitor drape from the sterile packaging.

The following subjects are covered: •7.1 Vision System Overview, page 7-1 •7.2 Setting Up the Vision System, page 7-5•7.3 Working with the Illuminator Controls, page 7-14•7.4 Working with the Touchscreen Vision Controls, page 7-15•7.5 Adjusting the Touchscreen Monitor, page 7-20•7.6 Troubleshooting Image Quality, page 7-207.1 Vision System OverviewThe 3DHD Vision System provides a high resolution image for the surgeon (at the 3D viewer) and the patient-side assistant (at the touchscreen). The 3DHD endoscope assembly (endoscope and camera head) can be used manually (that is, handheld, as with a traditional endoscopy cart) or can be mounted on the camera arm to assist with preoperative exploration.Figure 7.1 Vision system components Note: The da Vinci Si System must be used only with ISI approved or supplied cameras, endoscopes, accessories and image processing equipment. This ensures optimal image quality and da Vinci Si System performance. CAUTION: Surgery should be performed with the da Vinci Si System only when the vision system provides sufficient visualization to safely perform surgical tasks.Surgeon ConsoleStereo viewerIlluminator withcables attachedwhile stowedEndoscope assembly installed on camera armVision Cart(no drape)Connected camera head in storage drawer
da Vinci® Si™Vision System Use 7-2DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/14Illuminator The Illuminator provides lighting for the surgical field. The Illuminator monitors the life left on the lamp module and notifies you when replacement is recommended. For replacement instructions, see Illuminator Lamp Module Replacement on page 12-2. For additional, general information and specifications regarding the Illuminator, see Appendix C: Illuminator Information.EndoscopesCAUTION: Do not autoclave the endoscope. The endoscope should be cleaned and sterilized before each procedure and does not require sterile draping during surgical use. Clean and sterilize the endoscope prior to each use. Refer to Reprocessing Instructions User Manual (PN 550875) for reprocessing methods and parameters.CAUTION: Handle endoscope with care. Dropping the endoscope may result in damage and loss of functionality. Inspect endoscope for damage prior to use.The endoscope provides a left and right optical channel to capture the surgical image. Light from the Illuminator is projected on the surgical field through integrated fiber optic channels. Heat from the fiber optic channels helps to minimize fogging at the endoscope lens.Figure 7.2 Examples of endoscopes

da Vinci® Si™Vision System Use 7-4DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL 10/9/14CAUTION: Handle the camera head carefully. Dropping the camera head may result in damage and loss of camera functionality.Note: Damage to the camera cable can occur through repetitive actions during use in surgical procedures. These failures usually occur near the camera head. CAUTION: Handle the light guide cable carefully. If the cable is bent sharply or kinked, it can damage the fiber optic material enclosed in the light guide cable. Such damage can substantially reduce the amount of light transmitted through the light guide cable (Figure 7.4).

Vision System Useda Vinci® Si™7-5DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL10/9/147.2 Setting Up the Vision SystemThis section explains how to prepare the vision system for use. CAUTION: Failure to adhere to approved operating practices may result in damage to the endoscope. Examples of improper practices include: dropping of equipment, collisions, and improper cleaning and sterilization techniques. A damaged endoscope may result in fragments falling into the patient.Pre-operative Inspection The endoscope and corresponding endoscopic equipment and accessories should be thoroughly inspected for any mechanical or optical defects before each procedure. The glass surfaces in the light ports at the distal tip and those located at the camera end should be clean and free of any deposits and residues to ensure a bright and clear image. Inspect surfaces carefully for any irregularities or damage, such as sharp edges, cracks, dents, mechanical and/or thermal defects due to inadequate application of electrosurgery or other instruments. Careful inspection and assembly as described in this section can prevent loss of any components during use.WARNING:  Do not use endoscopes with any defects or signs of damage, including damage to the light ports or fiber surfaces, as serious injury or surgical complications may occur to the patient.WARNING: Do not look into the light at the tip of a fiber-optic bundle when the lamp is on. As with any bright light, permanent eye injury can result.Inspecting Glass and Endoscope Surfaces Follow these steps to inspect endoscope light ports and fiber surfaces:1. Hold the distal endoscope tip toward a bright ceiling lamp. 2. Inspect the light ports. The individual fibers should appear bright. 3. Move the distal endoscope tip held toward the lamp slightly to observe a noticeable change in brightness of the fibers within the light port surface. Some fibers will remain dark without any impact on quality, but if the majority of the fibers appear dark then the resulting limited illumination may restrict adequate operation.
