Warnings and Cautions Please read this manual and follow its instructions carefully. The words warning, caution, and note carry special meanings and should be carefully reviewed: WARNING The personal safety of the patient or physician may be involved. Disregarding this information could result in injury to the patient or physician.

The iSwitch is intended for use in surgical procedures where footswitch-operated devices, such as the Stryker TPS or SERFAS systems, are normally used. The iSwitch consolidates the functions of these devices into one wireless footswitch, freeing the operating room from excessive cables and foot controls.
The Footswitch The footswitch rests on the operating-room floor and provides foot control of all devices connected to the iSwitch system. The footswitch houses three buttons and two pedals, which enable the user to alternate between operating-room devices and perform device-specific functions. When a button or pedal is pressed, the footswitch transmits a radio signal to the receiver, where the command is then routed to the appropriate device.
The Receiver The receiver connects to the devices that will be controlled by the iSwitch system. It receives commands sent from the footswitch and routes them to the appropriate device. The receiver also determines how footswitches are used and which devices they will control.
Rear Panel Figure 5: The receiver rear panel TPS output: Provides a dedicated connection to the TPS console, enabling the commands issued from the footswitch to be routed to the TPS console. SERFAS output: Provides a dedicated connection to the SERFAS console, enabling the commands issued from the footswitch to be routed to the SERFAS console.
Setting up the iSwitch Setting Up the Receiver Position the receiver on a Stryker cart or other sturdy platform. Connect the AC Power. • Connect the AC power cord to the AC input on the rear receiver panel. • Connect the other end to a hospital-grade receptacle.
Setting Up the Footswitch Insert the Stryker Battery Pack (P/N 277-300-100). It is recommended to use the Stryker Battery Pack to achieve Note maximum battery life and prevent improper insertion. • Twist off the cap on the side of the footswitch by turning 1/2 turn counterclockwise.
System Settings Using the 2 mode buttons on the Receiver, the system Settings may be modified as listed below: To enter the Settings mode Press and hold both mode buttons on the Receiver for 5 seconds • In this mode, the left (Footswitch 1) mode button toggles among options.
Note recommended to keep the footswitch clean during use. Contact your local Stryker representative for ordering information. The iSwitch system is operated through the controls on the footswitch and the controls on the receiver. Using the Footswitch Controls Press the mode button to select which device the footswitch will control.
Increase Cut Level Coag Using the Receiver Controls While the footswitch controls the devices connected to the iSwitch system, the receiver controls how the footswitch functions. Receiver controls are used for selecting which device the footswitch will control, unsynchronizing footswitches, and merging footswitches.
The batteries may explode or leak if recharged, inserted improperly, or disposed of by fire. Note Replace the battery pack with a Stryker Battery Pack (P/N 277- 300-100) for optimal battery performance. Battery Disposal The batteries must be disposed of according to local laws and hospital practices.

Recommended Separation Distances Between Portable and Mobile RF Communications Equipment and the iSwitch System The iSwitch system is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The user of the iSwitch system can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a mini- mum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the iSwitch sys- tem as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
(i.e. neglect, dropping, or denting) or by failure to follow the procedures outlined in this manual or demonstrated by Stryker Endoscopy representatives. Unauthorized repair or modifications to the iSwitch may void the warranty and invalidate the user’s authority to use the product.
