How to Use the Neptune 2 Service Manual
The Neptune 2 service and installation manual is comprised of 8 chapters that each covers a
separate service topic. While a table of contents is provided to aid in quickly locating the
desired material, the contents of each chapter are outlined below.
Chapter 1 –Operational Description
Here you will find a brief overview of how the Neptune 2 Waste Management System works.
Included topics are:
The components in each subsystem (i.e. vacuum subsystem, or fresh water subsystem)
The specific function of those components and how they operate in the system.
Illustration of the user interface panel to familiarize the technician with the indicators and
controls of the Neptune 2 Ultra Rover.
Chapter 2 –Ultra Rover Disassembly
The Neptune 2 Waste Management System is comprised of a docking station (a stationary
device; also referred to as a Docker) to remove waste fluid, and a mobile device called a Rover
to collect surgical fluid. The Neptune Ultra is Stryker’s two canister model Rover, which also
provides a motorized IV Pole and smoke evacuation in the same compact footprint. Chapter 2
outlines the procedures necessary to remove and replace components in the Ultra Rover.
Reference the disassembly examples for a detailed description of how the procedures are
structured.
Chapter 3 –Docker Disassembly
The docking station, or Docker, is a stationary unit centrally located to a power source
(standard wall outlet), a fresh water source, and a drain. It is responsible for removing the
surgical fluid from the Rover through an automated sequence that requires little interaction
from the user, as well as rinse the Rover with detergent after use. The procedures to remove
and replace components for the Docker are outlined in chapter 4. Reference the disassembly
examples for a detailed description of how the procedures are structured.
Warning Indicators and Disassembly Procedure Example
The following examples illustrate how the disassembly procedures are structured as well as
the warning indicators used when performing maintenance in the field. The disassembly
procedures apply to chapters 2, 3, and 4, although each chapter will cover the steps necessary
to perform maintenance on a specific product.
