Product Description and Intended Use The Stryker X8000 Light Source is a light-generating unit designed to illuminate surgical sites during endoscopic applications. The X8000 uses a 300-watt xenon bulb to generate bright, crisp light, which it delivers to the surgical site via a fiberoptic light cable. The X8000 is compatible with all Stryker light cables, and, with the proper light cable and adapters, can connect to any flexible or rigid endoscope. The X8000 is equipped with Electronic Scope Sensing Technology (ESST), a special safety feature that helps prevent accidental burns caused by a light cable that is not connected to the scope. For more information, refer to the section “Checking the ESST Feature”. When operated with an ESST light cable, the X8000 senses when the scope and the light cable are separated and places the light source in Standby mode. In Standby mode, the X8000 will reduce light output to a minimum, preventing the light cable from generating excessive heat. WARNING

THE SCOPE TIP, SCOPE LIGHT POST, LIGHT CABLE ADAPTER, AND LIGHT CABLE TIP WILL TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES TO COOL OFF AFTER BEING PLACED IN STANDBY MODE AND THEREFORE MAY STILL RESULT IN FIRE AND/OR BURNS TO THE PATIENT, USER, OR AN INANIMATE OBJECT IF NOT USED PROPERLY. DO NOT PLACE THE SCOPE OR THE LIGHT CABLE ON THE PATIENT OR ON THE DRAPES OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL, EVEN WHEN THE DEVICE IS IN STANDBY MODE.

The Stryker X8000 Light Source consists of one of each of the following: • light source console • power cord • xenon bulb module (spare or replacement bulb modules can be purchased separately as P/N 220-201-000)

Caution

14

Do not abruptly interrupt power to the unit. This will turn off the fan and may cause severe damage to the internal cooling system.

Checking the ESST Feature The X8000 is equipped with Electronic Scope Sensing Technology (ESST), a special safety feature that helps prevent accidental fires or burns to the patient or user caused by a light cable not connected to a scope. This feature will only work if the X8000 is used with an ESST light cable. When operated with an ESST light cable, the X8000 senses when the scope and light cable are separated, and places the light source in Standby mode. In Standby mode, the X8000 will reduce light output to a minimum, preventing the light cable from generating excessive heat. To verify the ESST feature is active, perform the following test before every surgical procedure: 1.

Set up the X8000 system with an ESST light cable and scope, and then power on the system.

2.

Place the X8000 in Run mode.

3.

Remove the light cable from the ESST scope adapter.

The X8000 should return to Standby mode, indicating that the ESST feature is functioning properly. WARNING

ALWAYS CHECK TO ENSURE THAT THE UNIT HAS SWITCHED INTO STANDBY MODE, BEFORE ASSUMING ESST SAFETY PROTECTION. IF THE UNIT FAILS TO RETURN TO STANDBY MODE, THERE MAY BE A FAULT WITH THE ESST FEATURE. IN THIS CASE, DO NOT ASSUME ESST SAFETY PROTECTION, AND RETURN THE UNIT FOR SERVICE.

WARNING

EVEN WITH ESST PROTECTION, OR WHEN THE X8000 IS IN STANDBY MODE, NEVER PLACE THE TIP OF THE LIGHT CABLE OR LIGHT CABLE ADAPTER DIRECTLY ON THE PATIENT, DRAPES OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL, AS BURNS OR FIRE MAY RESULT. THE SCOPE TIP, SCOPE LIGHT POST, LIGHT CABLE ADAPTER, AND LIGHT CABLE TIP WILL TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES TO COOL OFF AFTER BEING PLACED IN STANDBY MODE, AND THEREFORE MAY STILL RESULT IN FIRE AND/OR BURNS TO THE PATIENT, USER, OR AN INANIMATE OBJECT IF NOT USED PROPERLY. DO NOT PLACE THE SCOPE OR THE LIGHT CABLE ON THE PATIENT, ON THE DRAPES, OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL, EVEN WHEN THE DEVICE IS IN STANDBY MODE.
