Product Description and Intended Use
The Stryker L9000 Light Source is a light-generating unit designed to illuminate
surgical sites during endoscopic applications. The L9000 uses light-emitting diode
(LED) technology to generate bright, crisp light, which it delivers to the surgical site
via a fiberoptic light cable. The L9000 is compatible with all Stryker light cables,
and, with the proper light cable and adapters, can connect to any flexible or rigid
endoscope.
The L9000 is equipped with Electronic Scope Sensing Technology (ESST), a
special safety feature that helps prevent accidental burns caused by a light cable
that is not connected to the scope. For more information, refer to the section
“Checking the ESST Feature”. When operated with an ESST light cable, the L9000
senses when the scope and the light cable are separated and places the light source
in Standby mode. In Standby mode, the L9000 will reduce light output to a
minimum, preventing the light cable from generating excessive heat.
WARNING THE SCOPE TIP, SCOPE LIGHT POST, LIGHT CABLE ADAPTER, AND
LIGHT CABLE TIP WILL TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES TO COOL OFF
AFTER BEING PLACED IN STANDBY MODE AND THEREFORE MAY
STILL RESULT IN FIRE AND/OR BURNS TO THE PATIENT, USER, OR
AN INANIMATE OBJECT IF NOT USED PROPERLY. DONOT PLACE
THE SCOPE OR THE LIGHT CABLE ON THE PATIENT OR ON THE
DRAPES OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL, EVEN WHEN THE
DEVICE IS IN STANDBY MODE.

17
Checking the ESST Feature
The L9000 is equipped with Electronic Scope Sensing Technology (ESST), a
special safety feature that helps prevent accidental fires or burns to the patient or
user caused by a light cable not connected to a scope. This feature will only work
if the L9000 is used with an ESST light cable. When operated with an ESST light
cable, the L9000 senses when the scope and light cable are separated, and places
the light source in Standby mode. In Standby mode, the L9000 will reduce light
output to a minimum, preventing the light cable from generating excessive heat.
To verify the ESST feature is active, perform the following test before every
surgical procedure:
1. Set up the L9000 system with an ESST light cable and scope, and then
power on the system.
2. Place the L9000 in Activate mode.
3. Remove the light cable from the ESST scope adapter.
The L9000 should return to Standby mode, indicating that the ESST feature is
functioning properly.
WARNING ALWAYS CHECK TO ENSURE THAT THE UNIT HAS SWITCHED INTO
STANDBY MODE, BEFORE ASSUMING ESST SAFETY PROTECTION. IF
THE UNIT FAILS TO RETURN TO STANDBY MODE, THERE MAY BE A
FAULT WITH THE ESST FEATURE. INTHIS CASE, DO NOT ASSUME
ESST SAFETY PROTECTION, AND RETURN THE UNIT FOR SERVICE.
WARNING EVEN WITH ESST PROTECTION, OR WHEN THE L9000 IS IN
STANDBY MODE, NEVER PLACE THE TIP OF THE LIGHT CABLE OR
LIGHT CABLE ADAPTER DIRECTLY ON THE PATIENT, DRAPES OR
OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL, AS BURNS OR FIRE MAY RESULT.
THE SCOPE TIP, SCOPE LIGHT POST, LIGHT CABLE ADAPTER, AND
LIGHT CABLE TIP WILL TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES TO COOL OFF
AFTER BEING PLACED IN STANDBY MODE, AND THEREFORE MAY
STILL RESULT IN FIRE AND/OR BURNS TO THE PATIENT, USER, OR
AN INANIMATE OBJECT IF NOT USED PROPERLY. DONOT PLACE
THE SCOPE OR THE LIGHT CABLE ON THE PATIENT, ON THE
DRAPES, OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL, EVEN WHEN THE
DEVICE IS IN STANDBY MODE.
