CLINICAL IN-SERVICING

•Do NOT remove black locking guard from the EndoSerter®until ready to insert tissue into anterior chamber.
•The EndoSerter®is designed to be used through a tight 4mm incision.
Information is provided as a supplemental guide only and does not replace the Instructions for Use (IFU).
1. CONNECT irrigation to the EndoSerter®FLUSH
EndoSerter®with Balanced Salt Solution (bottle height
40cm) STOP irrigation (DO NOT restart irrigation until
tip of the EndoSerter®is in anterior chamber).
2. LEAVE a small amount of fluid on the carrier. REMOVE
excess fluid from carrier (do not shake the EndoSerter®
to remove fluid).
3. LOAD tissue onto carrier within alignment holes.
4. DRY around edge of graft with sponge tip.
5. APPLY 2-3 drops of cohesive visco-elastic to center
of graft.
6. ROTATE blue thumbscrew to retract tissue. TUCK
tissue edge, as necessary, to retract fully into sheath.
Rotate thumbscrew until you hear a click and thumb-
screw spins freely − you cannot rotate thumbscrew too
many times.
7. ROLL the EndoSerter®180 degrees so that the black
deployment wheels are facing up.
8. HOLD black deployment wheels firmly and REMOVE
black locking guard (continue to hold deployment
wheels through entire insertion process).
9. INSERT the EndoSerter®tip through a tight 4mm
incision (continue to hold deployment wheels).
10. START and CONTINUE irrigation (bottle height 40cm)
(continue to hold deployment wheels). If necessary,
deepen the chamber slowly by raising the bottle height
while irrigation continues to flow
11. MOVE the EndoSerter®tip across the anterior
chamber past the far edge of the stromal bed
(continue to hold deployment wheels)
12. ROLL black deployment wheels forward (towards
patient) and ROTATE the EndoSerter®45 degrees to
the right as the graft is exposed. The graft is uncovered,
not ejected. The EndoSerter®will retract leaving the
graft behind.
• Graft Size: Diameter ≤8.5mm;
