Laparoscopic Probes
- Designed for radio-guided minimally invasive surgical procedures.
- Addresses challenges in identifying small, difficult-to-visualize lesions in pulmonary surgeries.
- Compatible with robotic systems.
Device Compliance
- System operation must not cause harmful interference and must accept any received interference.
- Complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standards.
System Control and Operation
- Control unit should remain within 15 feet (4.5m) of the patient and in the surgeon's line of sight.
- Probe must be clear of obstructions; held like a pencil.
- Threshold functionality applicable only for Wireless Probes.
Control Display Features
- Count function: Initiates a 10-second photon count, display shows total counts at completion.
- Calibration-check mode indicated by light; SCAN mode disables the light.
- Battery indicator crucial for maintaining operational readiness.
Wireless Probe Operation
- LED indicators for pairing, connection status, low battery, and resting modes.
- A flashing “all 8’s” display signals disconnection; reset by powering off both device and control unit.
Sterilization Instructions
- Probes treated as critical items when entering sterile tissue following CDC and ISO guidelines.
- Use enzymatic detergent for cleaning; rinse and visually inspect for contamination.
- Ensure thorough drying post-cleaning.
Guideline References
- Adhere to CDC's 2008 update and ISO 17664:2021 for processing healthcare products.
