Crystal Vision® Model 450D SPECIFICATIONS INTENDED USE:
The CRYSTAL VISION® 450D is intended to remove smoke created in any surgical procedure. It is especially useful during laparoscopy and thoracoscopy procedures. The Model 450D can be used to remove smoke produced by lasers, electrosurgical devices, argon beam coagulators, LEEP devices, and other devices that create smoke during surgical procedures. During internal surgical procedures such as laparoscopy, it helps to maintain the desired internal pressure (pneumoperitoneum). The smoke evacuator removes up to 20 liters-perminute of gases, vapors, or smoke that is produced, or introduced, by devices such as insufflators, lasers, electrosurgical generators, argon beam coagulators and other devices. The Model 450D automatically activates when active (smoke producing) devices that are coupled to the Model 450D with special sensors are turned on. The Model 450D automatically turns off, at a time predetermined by the operator, after the active device turns off. The Model 450D also automatically activates when the high pressure limit is exceeded in the pneumoperitoneum and it remains running to remove smoke, vapors, and gases until the internal pressure returns to levels below the preset maximum. The Model 450D can also be used to evacuate CO2 gas from the pneumoperitoneum at the end of laparoscopic procedures.

During laparoscopic procedures, the ® CRYSTAL VISION is designed to remove automatically smoke plume and water vapor from the peritoneal cavity while maintaining the pneumoperitoneal pressure that the surgeon has selected on the insufflator. Therefore, the volume of smoke that can be removed by the CRYSTAL VISION® is directly dependent on the flow rate of the insufflator. Insufflators that cannot deliver a flow of at least 6 Liters Per Minute will not permit results that are satisfactory for most surgeons during typical laparoscopic cases. They may be suitable for procedures that generate small amounts of plume. Insufflators that deliver flow rates of 6 Liters Per Minute will provide results that are satisfactory for most surgeons during a large majority of laparoscopic procedures. However, there may be a few occasions when very large quantities of smoke are generated over long periods and results will be marginal, or even unsatisfactory. Insufflators that deliver flow rates ABOVE 6 Liters Per Minute are recommended to be used by surgeons who frequently perform procedures that generate very large amounts of plume over extended amounts of time.
The CRYSTAL VISION® Model 450D is intended to remove smoke created in any surgical procedure. It is especially useful during laparoscopy and thoracoscopy procedures. The Model 450D can be used to remove smoke produced by lasers, electrosurgical devices, argon beam coagulators, LEEP devices, and other devices that create smoke during surgical procedures. During internal surgical procedures such as laparoscopy, it helps to maintain the desired internal pressure (pneumoperitoneum). The smoke evacuator removes at least 18 liters-per-minute of gases, vapors, or smoke that is produced, or introduced, by devices such as insufflators, lasers, electrosurgical generators, argon beam coagulators and other devices. The Model 450D automatically activates when active (smoke producing) devices that are coupled to the Model 450D with special sensors are turned on.

LASER SENSOR INSTALLATION If you are going to use your CRYSTAL VISION® with a laser, proceed with the following: 1.
Attach the Sensor Cable (Figure 3) to the LASER connector on the CRYSTAL VISION® and to the Sensor Connector Box.
2.
The Sensor Assembly has three parts: the Sensor Connector Box, the Transmit Sensor, and the Receive Sensor. Both Sensors have double-backed tape on one side and an infrared lens on the side opposite the tape. The Receive Sensor has a red indicator lamp that will light when the sensor assembly is plugged into the operating CRYSTAL VISION®. (NOTE: When the red light goes off, CRYSTAL VISION® will start to operate). Test the Sensor Assembly for proper operation:
Figure 3: Laser Sensor Installation
Plug the Sensor Cable into the Sensor Connector Box and the LASER connector of the CRYSTAL VISION®. Plug the CRYSTAL VISION® into an AC outlet and turn on the Power Switch on the Control Box back panel and front panel. Align the Transmit Sensor Lens and the Receive Sensor Lens until the red light goes off and the CRYSTAL VISION® starts. Move the Sensor until the red light comes on. The pump in the CRYSTAL VISION® will stop operating sometime within 35 seconds after the light goes out. (NOTE: the actual amount of time that is required for the pump to cease operation is determined by the TIME adjustment on the CRYSTAL VISION® front panel).
3.
Place the foot switch for the laser on an easily accessible work surface (Figures 4 & 5).
4.
Inside the foot switch housing (Figure 4), position the Transmit Sensor and the Receive Sensor on opposite sides of the foot switch. Do not position the sensors on the sides of the foot switch.

DESCRIPTION OF SWITCHES, CONTROL BUTTONS & INDICATORS The Sensor Assembly and the Charcoal Output Filter should already be installed according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. 1.
ON/OFF SWITCH is located on the back panel (Figure 9) next to the power cord. This switch controls the power to the CRYSTAL VISION®. International symbols are used. The [I] symbol indicates power "ON" and [O] indicates "OFF." This switch also controls the cooling fan.
2.
MANUAL button (Figure 10) used to turn the CRYSTAL VISION® ON when the surgeon is not activating a smoke-producing device. This is particularly helpful when insufflators are used that deliver 6 liters-per-minute or less. The MANUAL button can be used to clear residual plume during these situations in (LAP) procedures. It can also be used to clear smoke and plume if more than one device is used and only one sensor is available. This frequently occurs during laser cases when a sensor is attached to the laser foot pedal and other sensors are not available to be attached to an Electrosurgical Unit (ESU).
3.
LASER CONNECTOR (Figure 10) is the input for the LASER SENSOR CABLE. In reality, both LASER & ESU connectors are identical and either will accept all standard I.C.Medical sensor assemblies.
4.
ESU CONNECTOR (Figure 10) is the input for the ESU SENSOR CABLE. This sensor can be used with a variety of devices to activate the CRYSTAL VISION®.
Figure 9: ON/OFF power switch location.
Figure 10: Manual button and sensor connectors.

5.
TIME SETTING Buttons (Up and Down arrows) (Figure 11) varies the amount of time that the CRYSTAL VISION® continues to draw smoke, vapor, and gases from the surgical site. Many insufflators deliver CO2 at rates less than 6 liters-per-minute. These low flows into the pneumoperitoneum limit the amount of gas that can be evacuated from the pneumoperitoneum without causing the abdomen to deflate. In cases such as this, it is very useful to limit the flow rate to a value that can be supplied by the insufflator. To extend the amount of time that the CRYSTAL VISION® operates after the foot pedal (or hand switch) is released. This allows for a greater volume of gas to be eliminated from the abdomen and therefore reduces the amount of residual smoke that is left in the abdomen. The ideal situation is to increase the amount of flow into the abdomen. See the highlighted box titled "FOR BEST RESULTS" in the LAPAROSCOPIC OPERATION section that follows.
Figure 11: Adjustment for time setting.
TIME DISPLAY (METER) (Figure 11) indicates the amount of time that the CRYSTAL VISION® will operate after the foot switch, or hand switch, is deactivated (2 sec min- 35 sec max) 6.
OPEN and LAP buttons (Figure 12) selects the flow range of the vacuum pump. The operator, according to the type of procedure selects the range. LAP MODE SHOULD BE SELECTED FOR ALL LAPAROSCOPIC PROCEDURES and the readouts are GREEN. OPEN MODE should be used during open and external cases when plume is being eliminated through a handpiece. Using OPEN MODE during laparoscopy will quickly deflate the pneumoperitoneum. The OPEN and LAP buttons also select the corresponding FLOW SETTING.
7.
Only one of the LED mode indicators is illuminated at a time. This eliminates confusion of which mode is used.
Figure 12: Setting the flow RANGE.
10
8.
FLOW SETTING control buttons (Figure 13) sets the maximum flow that is desired by the surgeon. This value is indicated on the FLOW SETTING display.
9.
FLOW READING (Figure 13) is registering the amount of gas and vapor that is actually flowing at the present time. This value should be zero, when the vacuum pump is not turned on.
10.
CHANGE FILTER indicator is located above filter (Fig. 14). It illuminates when there is a reduced flow into the CRYSTAL VISION®. The ULPA Input Filter with water trap should be changed when this light first illuminates. Do not attempt to clean, or re-use the ULPA Input Filter with water trap. Dispose of the ULPA Input Filter with water trap according to your institution's biological waste protocol. This indicator will also come ON when there is a total occlusion. If the OCCLUSION indicator is also lit, be sure to clear the obstruction that caused it first and then check the CHANGE FILTER indicator. If it is still illuminated and the OCCLUSION indicator is not, then the ULPA Input Filter with water trap needs to be changed.
11.
Figure 13: Selecting the desired flow.
OCCLUSION indicates that flow into the CRYSTAL VISION® has stopped (Figure 14). The CHANGE FILTER light will also come ON at this time. The operator should check for kinked tubing, stopcocks that are turned OFF, clogged insufflator output filters, or a completely clogged ULPA Input Filter with water trap. In order to prevent pump failure, the CRYSTAL VISION® pump will not activate when this lamp is illuminated.
Figure 14: Front Panel Indicators.
11
12.
OVER PRESSURE indicates pressure exceeding 27 mmHg in the pneumoperitoneum (Figure 14). At pressures over 30 mmHg, the vacuum pump starts in order to reduce the pressure in the pneumoperitoneum. This situation can be caused by many factors. Frequently, the surgeon presses on the abdomen and this causes intra-abdominal pressure to rise. Correct the cause before continuing.
13.
The "NO PATIENT" indicator (Figure 14) turns on when the CRYSTAL VISION® is in the LAP MODE, when zero pressure, or atmospheric pressure, is present at the ULPA Input Filter with water trap. The tubing set may not be connected to the Trocar sheath or to the ULPA Input Filter with water trap; the valve on the Trocar sheath may be turned off; or the ULPA Input Filter with water trap may not be attached to the input filter connector.
14.
INPUT FILTER CONNECTOR (Figure 15) holds the ULPA Input Filter with water trap. The metal ring is pushed down to allow the ULPA Input Filter with water trap to be released. Replace cap on end of ULPA Input Filter with water trap between uses. Change ULPA Input Filter with water trap when CHANGE FILTER indicator illuminates. Charcoal OUTPUT FILTER CONNECTOR (connector not shown) (Figure 15). The Charcoal OUTPUT FILTER CONNECTOR is located on the back panel of the CRYSTAL VISION®. The Charcoal Output filter- is reusable for several cases. The Charcoal Output filter has a functional life of three months. The Charcoal Output filter provides odor control and reduces vacuum pump noise.

LAPAROSCOPIC OPERATION 6.
Plug CRYSTAL VISION® into power outlet.
FOR BEST RESULTS:
7.
Use with insufflators that deliver more than 6 liter per minute. Insufflators that deliver only 6 liters per minute will provide satisfactory results during most procedures. Insufflators that provide less than 6 liters per minute will not provide satisfactory results in most cases.
8.
Insufflator should already be connected to the port on the laparoscope. IT SHOULD NEVER BE CONNECTED TO THE TROCAR SHEATH. Insufflator should be set for a flow of AT LEAST 6 LITERS-PER-MINUTE as directed by the surgeon. Connect Sterile Intra-Abdominal Plume Eliminator Tubing (ICM-000-0003)* to Trocar sheath and ULPA Input Filter with water trap assembly. NEVER connect the CRYSTAL VISION® to the laparoscope port. *ICM-000-0448 Non-sterile Intra-Abdominal Plume Eliminator Tubing Set is available.
1.
Installation should already be completed according to the installation instructions.
2.
Be familiar with all operating controls as described in description of switches, controls, and indicators.
3.
Refer to Figure 16 for set-up instructions.
10. Select LAP Mode on CRYSTAL VISION® by pushing LAP button.
4.
Connect ULPA Input Filter with water trap.
11. Adjust TIME SETTING to maximum.
5.

15. OVER PRESSURE occurs when a pressure more than 27 mmHg (±10% and 1 digit) is detected by the CRYSTAL VISION. When this happens, the OVER PRESSURE lamp and audio indicators turn ON. If the pressure exceeds 30 mmHg (±10% and 1 digit) the CRYSTAL VISION pump starts and attempts to reduce the over pressure situation. DO NOT EXCEED 30 mmHg PRESSURE!
Set the FLOW SETTING for a flow slightly LESS than the flow that the insufflator can provide. Push the MANUAL button. Observe the effect of a complete cycle by noting the pneumoperitoneal pressure on insufflator gauge/indicator before the CRYSTAL VISION® starts to operate and immediately after the pump stops. The intra- abdominal pressure should not drop more than 1-2 mmHg. If it does, reduce the flow on the CRYSTAL VISION® FLOW SETTING and repeat the process until the pressure drops very slightly. It is important to set the CRYSTAL VISION® flow as high as possible without diminishing the pneumoperitoneal pressure.
16. NO PRESSURE indicator illuminates when the Trocar sheath is turned off, the tubing set is not connected to the Trocar sheath, or the ULPA Input Filter with water trap is not connected to the input filter connector.
IF SMOKE PERSISTS WHEN THE PUMP STOPS BE SURE THAT
NOTE:
The FLOW SETTING indicates the desired maximum Flow. The FLOW READING display indicates the actual Flow occurring at that moment. The meter will read zero when the pump is off. The meters are ORANGE in OPEN Mode and GREEN in LAP Mode.
Leur lock on the cannula is open,
12. The MANUAL button can be used to start the vacuum pump if smoke still exists when the TIME SETTING is set for the maximum amount of time. Be sure to monitor the pneumoperitoneal pressure so that it does not fall more than a few mmHg (adjust the FLOW SETTING, if necessary).
Increase the TIME SETTING if there are no leaks.
Tubing is not crimped, ULPA Input Filter with water trap is clean, may need to be replaced if it is clogged, Inspect for leaks at the Trocar sheaths, tubing, or instruments,
If TIME SETTING is set to maximum time, use the MANUAL button until the abdominal cavity is smoke free. Do not use it excessively, or the pneumoperitoneum will collapse.

The TIME SETTING can be used to conserve insufflator gas by reducing the amount of time that the Crystal Vision pumps after lasing stops. This process requires more attention from the circulating nurse, or the laser operator.
Suctioning large quantities of fluids will shorten the life of the ULPA Input Filter with water trap. To extend the ULPA Input Filter with water trap life, use a suction canister and non-sterile suction tubing set. Connect the sterile ESU shroud to the canister and then connect the non-sterile suction tubing set between the canister and the ULPA Input Filter with water trap. The canister and non-sterile suction tubing sets are available from I. C. Medical.
13. CHANGE FILTER illuminates when the ULPA Input Filter with water trap needs to be changed. 14. OCCLUSION indicator lights when flow virtually ceases from the pneumoperitoneum. Check for kinked tubing, closed Leur lock on the Trocar sheath, severely clogged ULPA Input Filter with water trap, heavy fluid accumulation in the water trap, or obstructions in the Trocar sheath. The CHANGE FILTER indicator always lights when the OCCLUSION indicator comes on.
