Do not open or attempt to service this system, as this may void your warranty. There are no userserviceable parts inside. Removing the cover may introduce an electric shock hazard by exposing you to dangerous high voltages or other risks. If the system malfunctions, return it for service immediately. 2. For the protection of the patient it is recommended that a back-up camera system for the Arthrex SynergyUHD4 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 and endoscope from the 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 and manufacturer’s accessories and 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. 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
950-0047-06r0_fmt_en-US
Page 5 of 68
rough edges, sharp edges or protrusions which may cause a safety hazard. 13. Refer to Insufflation Device Instructions regarding safety hazards to patients resulting from gas emboli. 14. The leakage current through the patient could increase when using endoscopes with powered accessories. 15. 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. 16. Applied Parts of other ME Equipment used within the configuration for Endoscopic Application shall be type BF or CF Applied Parts. 17. Explosive gas concentrations inside the patient can cause hazards while using HighFrequency Endoscopically Used Accessories. 18. For the protection of service personnel, and for safety during transportation, all devices and accessories that are returned for repair must be prepared for shipment as described in “Returning the Device” of this manual. The manufacturer has the right to refuse to carry out repairs if the product is contaminated. 19. This equipment/system may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of nearby equipment. It may be necessary to take mitigation measures, such as reorienting or relocating the SynergyUHD4 Video System or shielding the location. 20. NOT for use in an Oxygen Rich Environment. 21. NO Modifications of this equipment are allowed. 22. 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. 23. 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. 24. Risk of burns! LED Light Engines emit large amounts of light and thermal energy. As a result: • Always keep the LED Light Engine in the STANDBY mode when not in use. The endoscope light guide connection 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. • Surface temperatures of the insertion portion of the endoscope as well as light guide connectors on the Camera Control Unit (CCU) and the endoscope rise during use. • Potential thermal injury to the patient’s tissue and skin may result 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. This can cause the temperature of the body tissue to rise in excess of 106°F (41°C). 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 before reprocessing. 25. High Frequency [HF] electrical surgical instruments may lead to severe patient injuries and/or damage to the endoscope. Care should be taken to ensure that the working element is kept within field of view to prevent accidental burns. A sufficient distance from the tip of the endoscope to
950-0047-06r0_fmt_en-US
Page 6 of 68
other conductive accessories and instruments should be maintained (10 mm (0.39 in.)) 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. 26. 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. 27. 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 through the endoscope. 28. To ensure FCC RF Exposure limits for base station transmissions devices are met, a distance of 20 cm (7.9 in.) or more shall be maintained between the Camera Control Unit (which contains the antennas), and persons during operation. To ensure compliance, an operator closer than 20 cm (7.9 in.) to Camera Control Unit is not recommended.

Page 33 of 68
2.4.4
Beneath each of the icons is a status bar. The color of the bar indicates the status of the connection. A status bar that is green means that there is active connectivity between that device and SynergyUHD4 and no issues are detected. A status bar that is blue means that there is active connectivity between that device and SynergyUHD4, no issues are detected, and an active data transfer is taking place (e.g., images are exporting to a USB device or a DICOM export is ongoing). At the end of a data transfer, the blue status icon will change back to green. A status bar that is yellow means that connectivity should be present but there is an issue with the connection. A status bar that is gray means that the device is not connected to SynergyUHD4.
2.4.5
A yellow status bar event should be investigated prior to the start of a case as data transfers may not occur to any device where connectivity with SynergyUHD4 has not been established or has been lost.
2.4.6
Once a case is started, a smaller subset of connectivity icons will appear in the lower right corner of the surgical monitor. These status icons represent connectivity status based on the individual surgeon’s preferences (e.g., if a surgeon has autoprinting enabled but the printer is powered off it will show a yellow status). The colors of the status bars match those described above. Again, any items with a yellow status should be investigated for issues prior to the start of a case.
2.4.7
The onscreen status icons are intended to only provide a status of connectivity of various devices to SynergyUHD4. A surgeon can always begin and perform a case regardless of the status of any of the device connections.

3.3 Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Sterilizing
Follow universal precautions for protective apparel when handling and cleaning contaminated instruments.
3.3.1
Cleaning the LED Light Engine
1. Allow LED Light Engine to cool for ½ hour before cleaning. 2. Dampen one end of a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol. 3. Clean any residue from optic using circular motion. 4. Use the DRY END of the cotton swab to dry the face of the optics. 5. Inspect the optics for residue or cotton fibers and clean as required. 6. Allow to AIR DRY for 5 minutes prior to use.
3.3.2 Cleaning and Disinfecting the Camera Control Unit (CCU) and Tablet
1. Turn the CCU power off. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical power source and from the rear of the CCU. 2. Remove the camera head from the CCU. 3. Wipe the CCU with a disinfecting towelette or clean, low-linting cloth dampened with disinfectant solution. 4. Using a second (fresh) towelette or cloth, thoroughly wet the surface and ensure it remains visibly wet for the contact time recommended by the disinfectant manufacturer. The use of additional towelettes or cloths may be used to ensure the surface remains visibly wet for the entire contact time. 5. If required by the disinfectant manufacturer, rinse per instructions; otherwise, allow to air dry.
CAUTION: Do not sterilize the CCU/Tablet or immerse in liquid or disinfectant solution. CAUTION: Do not clean the CCU/Tablet with abrasive cleaning or disinfectant compounds, solvent, or other materials that could scratch or damage the device. Always comply with the instructions issued by the manufacturer of the cleaning disinfectant regarding concentration, exposure times, temperature, and material compatibility.
950-0047-06r0_fmt_en-US
Page 47 of 68
3.3.3
Cleaning the Camera Head
CAUTIONS: • If the camera head is dented or damaged, or if the cable silicone jacket is cut, DO NOT autoclave or immerse in liquid (water, chemical disinfectants or sterilants, etc.). Notify your Arthrex Sales Representative. • Do not place the camera head or accessories in an ultrasonic cleaner or ultrasonic washer-disinfector.
Devices must be adequately cleaned and sterilized prior to use or re-use. All devices are to be cleaned and sterilized prior to each application; this is required as well for the first use after delivery of the unsterile devices. Effective cleaning is an indispensable requirement for an effective sterilization of the devices. If possible, the Automated Cleaning procedure (Washer-Disinfector) should be used for cleaning. The Manual Cleaning procedure should only be used if an automated procedure is not available; in this case, the significantly lower efficiency and reproducibility of the manual procedure should be considered. Manual cleaning may require onsite validation by the healthcare facility and appropriate procedures should be in place to avoid human factor variability.
3.3.3.1
Point of Use Preparation, Containment, and Transportation
It is recommended that camera heads are reprocessed within a maximum of 2 hours of use. At point of use, soiled devices must be removed from trays and moistened to prevent debris from drying before transportation to the reprocessing area for cleaning procedures. Soaking in enzyme solutions facilitates cleaning, especially in devices with complex features and hard-to-reach areas (lumens, etc.). These enzyme solutions as well as enzymatic foam sprays break down protein matter and prevent blood and protein-based materials from drying on devices. Manufacturer’s instructions for preparation and use of these solutions should be explicitly followed. Devices should be contained and transported in a closed, puncture-proof device to ensure safety.
3.3.3.2
Detergent Selection
Consider the following points during selection of the cleaning detergent: 1. Suitability of the cleaning agent for cleaning (no foam development). 2. Compatibility of the cleaning agent with the devices. Arthrex recommends the use of neutral pH or enzymatic cleaning agents. Alkaline agents may be used to clean devices in countries where required by law or local ordinance, or where prion diseases such as Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) or Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease (CJD) are a concern (applies only outside of the US). Arthrex does not recommend the use of a specific brand of cleaning agent. Enzol® and neodisher® MediClean forte were utilized during the validation of these instructions. Caution: Low acid or alkaline solutions are not recommended, as they corrode metal parts and compromise plastics. Follow the instructions of the detergent manufacturer regarding use concentration and temperature for either manual or automated cleaning. Please use only freshly prepared solutions as well as only purified (critical, e.g. RO or DI) water for final rinse.
3.3.3.3
Automated Cleaning
1. Load the devices in the washer-disinfector such that all design features of the device are accessible to cleaning. 2. Make sure that the camera head has been securely fixed to the unit’s trays or baskets. Make sure that the camera head does not touch other instruments.
950-0047-06r0_fmt_en-US
Page 48 of 68
3. Run an automated wash cycle with fundamentally approved efficiency of the washer-disinfector (for example, CE marking according to ISO 15883 or FDA approval/clearance/registration).

4. Remove the camera heads immediately after the automated procedure has stopped. 5. Dry the equipment with a soft, low-linting cloth and/or filtered medical grade air. Wipe the card edge connector with 70% isopropyl alcohol to remove any residual detergent. a. Do not allow exposed glass windows to air dry. 70% isopropyl alcohol may be applied to glass surfaces with a soft cotton applicator to prevent streaks and spots. Dry the surfaces thoroughly with a cotton applicator after applying the alcohol. 6. After cleaning, inspect the camera head assembly and camera head cable for cleanliness and damage. Repeat cleaning if soil is visible and re-inspect; otherwise, proceed to Sterilization. 7. CAUTION: Inspect the camera head cable for breaks and cuts. Camera heads with damaged cables should not be sterilized or disinfected. Return camera heads with damaged cables to Arthrex for repair. 8. Before sterilization and/or disinfection, coil the camera head cable into loops at least six inches in diameter. Do not kink or twist the cable.
3.3.3.4
Manual Cleaning
CAUTION: Wear protective gloves, clothing and face mask for cleaning of contaminated equipment.
1. Immediately after use, rinse the camera head under cool running utility water to remove gross soil. Use a soft bristled brush to aid in the removal of soil paying particular attention to hard-toclean areas. 2. Prepare a neutral pH enzymatic detergent solution using utility water. 3. Fully immerse the camera head in the prepared solution and allow it to soak for a minimum of 10 minutes. Flush hard to reach areas to ensure all soil is removed. While soaking, activate movable parts. 4. After soaking, use a soft bristled nylon brush to remove all visible evidence of debris and soil. Pay close attention to the card edge connector. 5. Rinse the camera head by immersing it in a basin of warm utility water. Allow the camera head to sit in the water for a minimum of 1 minute. While soaking, activate movable parts. a. Repeat step 5 two additional times using fresh warm utility water each time. b. Rinse under running utility water to ensure water reaches hard to reach areas. Activate while rinsing until all visible evidence of detergent is removed. 6. Visually inspect the camera head for visible soil. Repeat cleaning if soil is visible and re-inspect. 7.
