Crystal Vision  Model 350-D SPECIFICATIONS INTENDED USE:

The CRYSTAL VISION 350-D is intended to remove smoke created in any surgical procedure. It is especially useful during laparoscopy and thoracoscopy procedures. The Model 350-D 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 350-D automatically activates when active (smoke producing) devices that are coupled to the 350-D with special sensors are turned on. The 350-D automatically turns off, at a time predetermined by the operator, after the active device turns off. The Model 350-D 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 350-D can also be used to evacuate CO2 gas from the pneumoperitoneum at the end of laparoscopic procedures.

SIZE:

7.25" H x 14.0" W x 12.0" D (18.4 cm H x 35.6 cm W x 30.5 cm D). Allow an additional 1.0" (2.5 cm) on both sides and 6.0" (15.2 cm) behind the device for the Charcoal Output Filter and adequate cooling.

INSTALLATION/OPERATIONS INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT NOTICE: WARNINGS:   

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.

Use only under the direction of a licensed physician. Do not exceed 27 mmHg intraabdominal pressure. Do not re-use, disposable Sterile Tubing Sets, PenEvacs, and Disposable ESU Shrouds that are SINGLE USE ONLY.

The Crystal Vision 350-D is intended to remove smoke created in any surgical procedure. It is especially useful during laparoscopy and thoracoscopy procedures. The Model 350-D 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.

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.

During internal surgical procedures such as laparoscopy, it helps to maintain the desired internal pressure (pneumoperitoneum) by removing 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.

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 of time and results will be marginal, or even unsatisfactory.

The Model 350-D automatically activates when active (smoke producing) devices that are coupled to the 350D with special sensors are turned on. The 350-D automatically turns off, at a time predetermined by the operator, after the active device turns off. The Model 350-D also automatically activates when the highpressure 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.

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 Model 350-D can also be used to evacuate CO2 gas from the pneumoperitoneum at the end of laparoscopic procedures.

LASER SENSOR INSTALLATION If you are going to use your Crystal Vision with a laser, proceed with the following: 1.

2.

Attach the Sensor Cable (Figure 3) to the LASER connector on the Crystal Vision and to the Sensor Connector Box.

LASER

The Sensor Assembly has three parts: the Sensor Connector Box, the Transmit Sensor, and the Receive Sensor. Both Sensors have doublebacked 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.)

RECEIVER

Place the foot switch for the laser on an easily accessible work surface (Figures 3 & 4).

4.

Position the Transmit Sensor and the Receive Sensor on opposite sides of the foot switch and on the inside of the foot switch housing. Do not position the sensors on the sides of the foot switch.

Figure 3: Sensor assembly parts and connection to the Crystal Vision.

WITHOUT REMOVING THE PROTECTIVE COVERING ON THE TAPE

Figure 4: Sensors are fastened to the SIDE of the laser foot switch HOUSING.

Position them so that the red light comes on. 5.

SENSOR CABLE

TRANSMITTER

Test the Sensor Assembly for proper operation:  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 30 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.

SENSOR ASSEMBLY

E.S.U.

Keep the Sensors in the same position and press the Laser Foot Pedal down. The red light should go out. If it does not, reposition the Sensors until the red light goes out when

6

the Laser Foot Pedal is depressed and it remains on when the pedal is not depressed. THE LIGHT SHOULD GO OUT FOR THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT OF THE FOOT PEDAL. If it does not, move both sensors higher up the wall of the protective housing of the laser pedal. HOUSING

CAREFULLY MARK THE LOCATION OF BOTH SENSORS FOOT PEDAL

6.

Remove the protective backing from one Sensor and place it in the correct position on the side of the Laser Foot Switch Assembly. (NOTE: It is usually very helpful to only LIGHTLY position the sensors at first and only after you are certain that they are in the exact position press them firmly into place.)

BEAM

BEAM

WARNING- Repositioning either sensor after it has been firmly set in place can easily destroy it 7.

Repeat the process for the other Sensor.

8.

Move the Sensor Connector Box to a convenient location inside the Laser Foot Switch Assembly and be sure that the cables from the Sensors to the Sensor Connector Box do not interfere with the operation of the foot switch or with the surgeon's foot. Carefully mark this location.

9.

Remove the protective covering from the tape on the Sensor Connector Box and attach it to the previously marked location inside the Laser Foot Switch Assembly. The tape must cure for 24hours before using the foot switch in a procedure or otherwise disturbing the positioning of the sensors. Failure to allow this will cause the sensors to loosen and change position.

DESCRIPTION OF SWITCHES, CONTROLS & INDICATORS: The Sensor Assembly and the Charcoal Output Filter should already be installed according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. 1.

2.

MAIN POWER SWITCH is located on the back panel (Figure 9) next to the power cord. This switch controls the primary 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.

MANUAL switch (Figure 10) is 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 control can be used to clear residual plume during these situations of LOW (LAP) flow. 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).

4.

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.

TIME ADJUST (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.

HIGH (OPEN)/LOW (LAP) FLOW SWITCH also selects the corresponding FLOW SET BARGRAPH.

TIME DISPLAY (Figure 11) indicates the amount of time that the CRYSTAL VISION will operate after the foot switch, or hand switch, is deactivated.

9.

HIGH (OPEN)/LOW (LAP) FLOW SWITCH (Figure 12) selects the flow range of the vacuum pump. The operator, according to the type of procedure selects the range. LOW (LAP) FLOW IS SELECTED FOR ALL LAPAROSCOPIC PROCEDURES and the readouts are GREEN. HIGH (OPEN) Flow is used during open and external cases when plume is being eliminated through a hand piece. Using HIGH (OPEN) FLOW during laparoscopy will quickly deflate the pneumoperitoneum. The

Only one of the bargraphs (Figure 13) is illuminated at a time. This eliminates confusion regarding which graph to read. It is very important to remember that these bargraphs display the FLOW SET value. This will show the amount of Flow that is DESIRED by the surgeon.

10. FLOW SET ADJUSTMENT (Figure 13) sets the maximum flow that is desired by the surgeon. This value is displayed on the bar graph for the selected flow range. The value registering on the digital meter above this control is actual amount of flow at the current time. 11. FLOW METER (Figure 13) reads 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. The FLOW METER is not adjusted by the FLOW SET ADJUSTMENT that is located just below the meter.

Figure 12: Setting the flow RANGE.

12. CHANGE FILTER indicator is red (Figure 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

Figure 13: Selecting the desired flow.

ULPA Input Filter with water trap. Dispose of the ULPA Input Filter with water trap according to your institution's biological waste protocol. This

11

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. 13. 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 destruction of the pump, the CRYSTAL VISION pump will not activate when this lamp is illuminated.

Figure 14: Front Panel Indicators.

12

14. OVER PRESSURE indicates pressure exceeding 27 mmHg in the pneumoperitoneum (Figure 14). This condition causes the vacuum pump to start in order to reduce the pressure in the pneumoperitoneum. At pressures over 30 mmHg, a pressure relief valve opens. 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. 15. The "NO PATIENT" indicator (Figure 14) turns on when the Crystal Vision is in the LOW (LAP) RANGE selection, 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. 16. 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.

Figure 15: Input Filter connectors.

17. Charcoal OUTPUT FILTER CONNECTOR is not shown. It is located on the back panel of the CRYSTAL VISION. The Charcoal Output filteris reusable for several cases. The Charcoal Output filter has a functional life of three to four months depending on usage. Sometimes, it will require changing sooner. The Charcoal Output filter provides odor control. It also reduces vacuum pump noise. Do not operate the unit without a Charcoal Output filter.
