2. For the protection of the patient it is
recommended that a back-up camera system
for the Arthrex SynergyHD3 video system be
maintained, sterilized, and ready to be
implemented.
3. For the protection of the patient it is essential
that the endoscopic video system
interconnection is complete and produces a
viable color picture on the surgical monitor
PRIOR to administration of patient
anesthesia.
4. Disconnect camera head from patient prior to
applying cardiac defibrillation to patient.
5. Only the physician can evaluate the clinical
factors involved with each patient and
determine if the use of this device is
indicated. The physician must determine the
specific technique and procedure that will
accomplish the desired clinical effect.
6. This device and its accessories are to be
used only by physicians and medical
assistants under the direction of a physician
with appropriate technical qualifications.
7. This device shall only be used with original

replacement parts. Use of other parts or
materials may degrade safety.
8. Do not use in the presence of
flammable anesthetics, gases,
disinfecting agents, cleaning
solutions, or any material susceptible to
ignition due to electrical sparking.
9. Equipment grounding is vital for safe
operation. Plug the power cord into a properly
earthed mains supply outlet whose voltage
and frequency characteristics are compatible
with those listed on the unit or in this manual.
Do not use plug adapters or extension cords;
such devices defeat the safety ground and
could cause injury.
10. This equipment should not share an electrical
outlet or grounding with life supporting or life
sustaining equipment.
11. If one or more mains powered units are
connected simultaneously to one socket by
the means of a distribution box, the sum of
the individual leakage currents may exceed
the tolerated limits.
12. The scope light guide tip can get extremely
hot as result of high intensity light, giving
rise to high temperatures in front of the light
emission window which may cause severe
burns. Always keep the light source in the
STANDBY mode when not in use.
13. Before each use, the outer surface of the
portions of the Endoscope and any
Endoscopically Used Accessory, which are
intended to be inserted into the patient, should
be checked to ensure there are no unintended
rough edges, sharp edges or protrusions which
may cause a safety hazard.
14. Safety hazards to patients may result from
gas embolism caused by, for example, over-
insufflation of air or inert gas prior to high
frequency surgery or laser assist gas
15. The leakage current through the patient
could increase using endoscopes with
powered accessories.
16. When Endoscopes are used with Energized
Endoscopically Used Accessories, the
Patient Leakage Currents may be additive.
This is particularly true if a CF Applied Part
is used, in which case a Type CF
Endoscopically Used Accessory should be
used to minimize total Patient Leakage
Current.
17. Explosive gas concentrations inside the
patient can cause hazards while using High-
Frequency Endoscopically Used
Accessories.
18. For the protection of service personnel, and
for safety during transportation, all devices

21. Applied Parts of other ME Equipment used
within the configuration for Endoscopic

950-0027-01B 6 of 55
Application shall be type BF or CF Applied
Parts.
22. NO Modifications of this equipment is
allowed.
23. Connecting any equipment that has not been
supplied as part of this ME System to Multiple
Socket Outlets may result in increased
leakage currents. Use an IEC Approved
Isolation Transformer to isolate any such
interconnections from the ME System.
24. Before each use or after changing viewing
modes/settings the Operator should check to
ensure that the view observed through the
Endoscope provides a live image (rather than
a stored one) and has the correct image
orientation.
25. Risk of burns!
Light sources emit large amounts of light
energy and thermal energy. As a result:
Surface temperatures of the insertion
portion of the endoscope as well as light
guide connectors on the CCU and the
endoscope rise during use. This can
cause the temperature of the body
tissue to rise in excess of 106 °F (41°C).
Potential Thermal injury to the patient’s
tissue (e.g. from prolonged exposure to
the intense illumination in small cavities,
or if the endoscope’s distal end is
placed in close proximity with the tissue)
may result, as well as burns to the
patient’s or user’s skin. Burns or thermal
damage to surgical equipment may also
result.
Avoid prolonged exposure to intense
illumination.
Use the minimum level of illumination
necessary to satisfactorily illuminate the
target area.
Do not place the endoscope’s distal end
or light guide connector on the patient’s
skin, on flammable materials or on heat
sensitive materials.
Turn the light source off when detaching
the endoscope from the light guide
cable.
Allow the endoscope and light guide
cable to cool down after use.
26. High Frequency [HF] electrical surgical
instruments may lead to severe patient
injuries and/or damage to the endoscope.
Please take caution to insure that the working
element is kept within field of view to prevent
accidental burns. A sufficient distance from
the tip of the endoscope to other conductive
accessories and instruments should be
maintained (10 mm) before activating the HF
output to prevent burns and damage to the
endoscope. Refer to the HF Surgical Device
Instructions for proper and safe use.
27. HF surgical Instruments may interfere with
video images. To prevent such interference,
HF equipment and video imaging equipment
should be connected to different power
supply circuits.
28. Use of Lasers in surgery may result in Eye
Damage or damage to the endoscope from
reflected laser energy. Refer to the Laser
Device Instructions for proper and safe use.
When using a laser always wear
protective glasses designed for the
laser’s wavelength.
Cover the patient’s eyes, or use
protective glasses designed for the
laser’s wavelength.
To prevent damage to the
Endoscope, the Laser should be
activated only after the tip of the laser
can be seen thought the endoscope.
