DEVICE DESCRIPTION
TheTRIVEX System provides controls for the operation of the light source for the Illuminator, the tumescent pump, the saline pump, and the mode and variable
speed operation of the Resector Handpiece. The TRIVEX System uses a pair of peristaltic pumps to provide irrigation and tumescence anesthesia for the
Transilluminated Powered Phlebectomy procedure.The left hand pump is dedicated to providing the tumescence anesthesia via the TRIVEX System Illuminator.
The right hand pump is dedicated to providing saline to the TRIVEX Resector Handpiece for resector tip irrigation.TheTRIVEX System uses a metal halide arc lamp
to provide intense, white light via the TRIVEX System Illuminator for transillumination.The illuminator connects with ber optic cables to the TRIVEX System to
provide transillumination during endoscopic resection of supercial varicosities of the lower extremities. The Resector Handpiece drives the Resector and features
push-button controls for Resector operation.The Cart provides a mobile base for the Control Unit and a mast for hanging the saline and tumescent solution
irrigation bags.The Footswitch causes air pressure to activate a switch inside the Control Unit which turns on the tumescence pump.
TheTRIVEX System is intended for use by vascular or general surgeons for treatment of patients of all ages and sexes that require removal of varicose veins.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
TheTRIVEX System is indicated for use in ambulatory phlebectomy procedures for the resection and ablation of varicose veins.
