The PowerPump™ DP maximizes visibility during arthroscopy through the SmartVision® technology by Medical Vision R&D AB, Sweden. The PowerPump™ DP detects factors that impede visibility during surgery, and automatically compensates for them. When engaged, the SmartVision® function automatically moderates flow and pressure to obtain maximum view. The PowerPump™ DP controls the Intra-Articular Pressure (IAP); not the pressure at the pump. The IAP is displayed on the pump display. The user can easily change the flow/pressure settings during surgery, if needed. The PowerPump™ DP supports interface connection to shaver systems.

Principle of Operation The PowerPump™ DP can operate in two different modes: 1) Irrigation only 2) Double pump During Inflow only, the PowerPump™ DP regulates the pressure using the PowerPump™ DP Day Cassette only. The PowerPump™ DP Day Cassette is connected to the sterile saline bags and the irrigation tubing, which is connected to the arthroscope sheath. The irrigation tubing is delivered individually or in the PowerPump™ DP Patient Cassette package. During double pump mode, the PowerPump™ DP regulates pressure and flow using the Day and Patient Cassettes. The PowerPump™ DP Day Cassette is connected to the sterile saline bags and the irrigation tubing to the arthroscope sheath. The PowerPump™ DP Patient Cassette discharges the liquid from the joint into a waste collection system. The PowerPump™ DP has the SmartVision® feature. SmartVision® will detect blood and/or debris when it emerges from the joint. It will automatically elevate pressure and flow into the joint when blood is detected, or elevate flow when debris is detected. SmartVision® can be disabled if desired. The pump also has an Outflow Tracking feature, which regulates inflow to the joint to precisely replace liquid removed by the outflow pump. The result is a constant volume of fluid in the distended joint. This helps to prevent collapse of the joint in cases with compliant joint capsule. Outflow Tracking can be disabled if desired. Furthermore, the system automatically compensates for liquid resistance in the irrigation system. This means that the pressure value displayed is actual joint pressure, not the pressure by the pump or in the Day Cassette.

Warnings, Precautions, and Adverse Events The following is a list of Warnings and Precautions that apply to the general operation of the Biomet Sports Medicine PowerPump™ DP.
Warnings • • • • •
• • •
The equipment may only be operated by personnel trained in arthroscopy procedures. Failure to follow all applicable instructions may result in serious surgical consequences for the patient. DO NOT operate this device in the presence of flammable anesthetics, gases, disinfecting agents, cleaning solutions, or any material susceptible to ignition due to electrical sparking. DO NOT use the pump if dropped or if it shows signs of damage. Extravasation or other patient injury may occur if instructions and warnings are not followed. If extravasation occurs, orthopedic literature supports management by elevation and serial compression wrapping. Fasciotomy is rarely indicated. DO NOT allow the pump to run unattended. Patient safety requires the pump to be continuously monitored throughout operation. For electrical safety reasons always use a non-conductive waste container for waste fluid. If an error code appears on the display, DO NOT use the pump. Gravity may be used for an emergency procedure to irrigate the joint directly from saline bags. The shaver, if used, may then be connected to an external vacuum source.
The equipment has been tested and found in compliance with limits for medical devices according to the IEC60601-1-2 standard. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection, in a typical medical installation, against harmful interference between equipment in the vicinity of each other. If the pump does cause harmful interference to other devices, which can be determined by turning it ON and OFF with the mains switch, try to reduce the interference by relocating the system or separating it from other devices-or both. If you cannot resolve the problem, please contact Customer Service.
Precautions • • • •

Prior to initial use, ensure that all package inserts, warnings, precautions, and Instructions for Use are read and understood. Consult medical literature relative to techniques, complications, and hazards prior to performing any procedure. Evaluate patients for predisposing medical conditions that may become aggravated by the stress of surgery. When instruments and accessories from different manufacturers are employed together in a procedure, verify compatibility prior to initiation of the procedure. Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be certified according to the respective IEC standards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data processing equipment and IEC 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore, all configurations shall comply with the system standard IEC 60601-1-1. Any individual who connects additional equipment to the signal input part or signal output part configures a medical system, and is therefore responsible for ensuring that the system complies with the requirements of the system standard IEC 60601-1-1. If in doubt, consult the technical service department or your authorized Biomet Sports Medicine representative. When endoscopes are used with endoscopically-used accessories, the patient leakage currents may be additive. The PowerPump™ DP is a Class I device with Type BF applied part, according to the Electrical Safety Standard IEC 60601-1 for medical devices. Ensure that you are using only Biomet Sports Medicine approved Interface Cables and Interface Boxes when connecting to a Shaver System. DO NOT connect the device to a power source that is not properly earthed (grounded). To prevent electrical shock hazard, unplug the Main cable from the power source before detaching the cable from the pump. Disconnect the device from the main power source when cleaning, servicing, or inspecting. DO NOT connect or disconnect the foot control when the pump is powered on. DO NOT connect or disconnect interface cables to a Shaver System when the pump is powered on. DO NOT remove the cover of the pump. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

• • • • • • •
To avoid risk of fire, only replace the fuses with the same type and rating. Annual preventive maintenance must be performed by qualified technical service personnel. Before use, ensure that the main cable plug is properly connected to the pump receptacle. Check that all Pump LED lights and audio signals are functional at start-up. Avoid fluid contact with the PowerPump™ DP. In case of liquid spillage that results in a risk that liquid has entered the pump, it must be immediately turned off and Main cable removed. Contact an authorized service technician. If at any time you feel that the PowerPump™ DP is not operating correctly, too high pressure is suspected, or the system is sounding alarms that can not be resolved, stop fluid flow immediately by pressing the ‘Run/Stop’ button. If this does not stop the pump, turn it off with the On/Off switch on the Rear panel. This will stop fluid inflow, allowing the problem to be investigated. If the PowerPump™ DP is taken out of service during a procedure, gravity may be used for an emergency procedure to irrigate the surgery area directly from the saline bags. The shaver, if used, may then be connected to an external vacuum source. Inspect equipment and cables for wear prior to each use. If damage is noted, replace and return to Biomet Sports Medicine authorized representative. DO NOT operate the pump with the roller assembly cover removed or damaged. If the pump operates without a cassette in place, contact an authorized Biomet Sports Medicine representative. DO NOT insert foreign objects into the PowerPump™ DP. This constitutes a safety hazard and can cause extensive damage or injury. DO NOT scratch or press the two pressure transducers (white discs) fitted on the front panel of the pump where the Day Cassette is placed. DO NOT insert fingers into the pump rollers. DO NOT use cassettes other than the PowerPump™ DP Day Cassette, PowerPump™ DP Patient Cassette and PowerPump™ DP irrigation tubing provided by Biomet® Sports Medicine. Usage of unauthorized cassettes may cause patient or user injury and equipment damage or malfunction.

Instructions for Use PowerPump™ DP Function and Adjustment During Procedure Automatic Outflow Switching If a Patient cassette is used, the outflow from the joint is via the Cannula. If a Shaver is used and active, the outflow from the joint is switched over to pass through the shaver Handpiece. A “*” symbol on the display indicates outflow path; Shaver or Cannula. Pressure Adjustment The pressure setting can be adjusted with the Pressure increase/decrease buttons (4). Flow Adjustment The flow setting can be adjusted with the Flow increase/decrease buttons (7). The buttons will adjust the outflow of the mode that is currently active: If the Outflow Cannula is active, the flow for the Outflow Cannula will be adjusted. If the Shaver is active, the flow for the shaver will be adjusted. The Flow adjustment is only available if a Patient Cassette is used. Shaver Flow Setting When the Shaver is not active, the flow setting can be modified by pressing the Soft Key ‘Shaver’ on the Display. A shaver flow menu will appear on the display, and the flow setting can be modified with the Flow increase/decrease buttons. Soft Key ‘OK’ can be pressed to return to the procedure screen. Cannula Function When a Patient Cassette is used, pressing and holding the Cannula pedal will increase flow through the joint without increasing joint pressure. This feature is useful for eliminating debris in the joint. The Display will indicate when Cannula function is active. The Pressure and Flow cannot be adjusted when Cannula function is active. Rinse Function When a Patient Cassette is used, pressing the Rinse pedal will activate the Rinse mode for 120 seconds. Rinse mode will increase the flow and pressure in the joint. This feature is useful for removing blood and controlling bleeding in the joint. When active, Rinse function can be turned off by pressing any of the foot pedals. The Display will indicate when Rinse function is active, and the Pressure and Flow settings cannot be adjusted when Rinse function is active. Rinse function pressure and flow values can be changed in the Setup Menu. SmartVision® SmartVision® Technology is a function to automatically increase flow and pressure in the joint if debris or blood is detected. This feature can be turned On and Off with the SmartVision® Technology button(8), and related LED is illuminated when SmartVision® Technology monitoring is on. If blood is detected this is indicated in the display. The pressure is increased by a set value in mmHg, and flow is increased by 50 ml/min. When the liquid is clear of blood, the flow and pressure resumes the previously selected values. If the liquid is not clear of blood within 8 seconds, the flow is further increased by 50 % of selected flow. The pressure increment can be adjusted in the setup menu (factory setting is 50 mmHg increase). If debris is detected this is indicated in the display, and flow is increased by a set value. If necessary, this can be adjusted in the setup menu (factory settings is 50 ml/min increase). Outflow Tracking The LED adjacent to the Outflow Tracking button(3) on the keyboard indicates the status of Outflow Tracking. If the LED is on, Outflow Tracking is active. The status of Outflow Tracking can be changed by pressing the Outflow Tracking button. This function regulates inflow to the surgery area to precisely replace liquid removed by the outflow pump. The result is a constant volume of fluid in the distended joint. Outflow Tracking is available only when the Patient Cassette is used. High Flow Sheath for Arthroscopy is recommended for best performance. Last Procedure Setting Memory The PowerPump™ DP will remember the procedure settings from the last procedure if power to the pump remains on and the same joint type as the previous procedure is chosen. If the standby mode is selected all flow and pressure settings go back to default setting.
