The Symphion 6.3 Endoscope is for use with the Symphion System. 2. Intended use/Indications for use The Symphion 6.3 Endoscope is intended to provide the physician with a means for endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic surgical procedures. It is indicated for use in diagnostic examination and surgical hysteroscopic procedures. 3. contraindications  • Cervical/vaginal/Pelvic infection • Uterine bleeding or menses • Known pregnancy • Invasive carcinoma of the cervix/endometrial cancer • Recent uterine perforation • Medical contraindication or intolerance to anesthesia 4. warnings • In the case of suspected pregnancy, a pregnancy test is necessary before carrying out diagnostic hysteroscopy. • Do not use the Symphion 6.3 Endoscope in patients where anatomy does not support an endoscopic procedure (i.e. cervical stenosis, existence of an IUD, or in conditions that limit access to the target tissue). • Fluid overload: For continuous flow endoscopic surgery, there is a risk of distention fluid reaching the circulatory system of the patient’s soft tissue by passing through the tissue enclosing the treatment site. This can be affected by distention pressure, flow rate, perforation of the cavity and duration of the surgery. It is critical to closely monitor the input and outflow of the distension fluid at all times. • Excessive force applied during insertion or removal of the device may result in tissue injury including perforation. To avoid perforation, do not use the scope tip as a probe and exercise caution when the scope is being inserted into the body cavity and when the scope tip is near the cavity wall. Perforation can result in possible injury to bowel, bladder, major blood vessels, and ureter.  5. Precautions The Symphion 6.3 Endoscope is supplied non-sterile. Prior to first use, it must be removed from the protective packaging, cleaned and sterilized. Prior to each subsequent use it must be cleaned and sterilized. • Prior to each use, inspect the device to ensure it is functioning properly and free of damage. Damage can compromise device function and safety. Do not use a damaged device. • Avoid exposing the scope to sudden temperature changes. Do not immerse hot scopes into cold water or liquid. Allow the scope to properly cool after autoclave cycles. • Any mechanical manipulation of the eyepiece may result in seal breakage, therefore do not attempt to remove the eyepiece. • Between uses the device must be stored in accordance with these instructions. Storing in another manner may results in damage or loss of function. • Boston Scientific is not responsible for damage caused by misuse of the scope. Misuse of the scope shall void the warranty. 6. ADVERSE EVENTS Potential complications of continuous flow endoscopic surgery include: • Hyponatremia • Hypothermia • Perforation  • High energy radiated light emitted from illuminating fiber at the distal end of the scope may give rise to temperatures exceeding 106°F (41°C) (within 8mm in front of the Endoscope). Do not leave the tip of scope in direct contact with patient tissue or consumable materials, as burns may result. Lower the light source output when working in close proximity to the object.  • Perforation resulting in possible injury to bowel, bladder, major blood vessels and ureter  • The Endoscope light post and adapter may exceed temperatures of 106°F (41°C). The Endoscope should not be placed on the patient or on combustible materials as burns may result.  7. compatibility  • When using HF surgical equipment, keep the working part of the active electrode in the field of view to avoid accidental HF burns. Avoid contact with metal parts of the Endoscope and other conductive accessories by ensuring that the active electrode is at a sufficient distance from the tip of the Endoscope before activation of the HF output. Ensure that only medical electrical equipment that complies with IEC 60601-1 and its relative particular standards is connected to, or used in conjunction with, the Endoscope • The Symphion 6.3 Endoscope is for procedures outlined in the indications for use statement ONLY. Before using the Symphion 6.3 Endoscope, please review all available product information and these instructions carefully. • Endoscopic procedures should only be performed by trained professionals with sufficien t knowledge and training. It is the responsibility of the user to be familiar with indications, contraindications, potential complications and risks associated with the endoscopic procedure being performed. • Endoscope cleaning brushes are for single patient use. Do not reuse, reprocess, or resterilize. Reuse, reprocessing, or resterilization may create a risk of contamination of the device and/or cross infection including, but not limited to, the transmission of infectious disease(s) from one patient to another. Contamination of the device may lead to injury, illness, or death. • After use of cleaning brushes, dispose of product and packaging in accordance with hospital, administrative and/or local government policy.  • Pulmonary edema • Cerebral edema • Air embolism  Symphion 6.3 Endoscope is for use in conjunction with the Symphion System. Refer to Symphion System instructions for directions on use of the scope as part of the Symphion System. Symphion 6.3 Endoscope offers adapters for the Endoscope light post and light cable for connection to Storz, Olympus, Smith & Nephew/Wolf and ACMI light sources (See Appendix A). Before using Symphion 6.3 Endoscope with any other accessory or device, be sure to follow the instructions provided with the accessory or device, including in the case of a HF electrode, the maximum recurring peak voltage rating. Accessories or other devices may require the use of an endoscopic seal to prevent leakage or aspiration through the working channel of the hysteroscope. Seals should cover the ~9mm proximal end of the working channel and create an adequate opening to allow passage of the device/accessory into the working channel while minimizing leaks. 8. How supplied IMPORTANT: The Symphion 6.3 Endoscope is supplied nonsterile. It must be disassembled, cleaned, and sterilized before the first use. It must be disassembled, cleaned, and sterilized before every subsequent use. Do not use if package is opened or damaged. Do not use if labeling is incomplete or illegible.
