Powering-On Pods and
Intraoperative Calibration
1. Open an iASSIST Knee Pod Kit and remove the
pods from the pod tray. Place them on the sterile
instrument table.
Warning: Verify that the packaging is not
damaged. A damaged package may affect the
sterility of the pods. If damage to the sterile
packaging is observed, open another iASSIST
Knee Pod Kit.
2. Power-on each of the pods by depressing the
"Power" button until it is flush with the pod's
surface. The green status LED (Light Emitting
Diode) of each pod will blink quickly.

Powering-On Pods and Intraoperative Calibration
Warning: Make sure to power-on the pods at
the appropriate time i.e. when ready to perform
the intraoperative calibration. Intraoperative
calibration should be performed before
incising the patient. After powering-on, the
pods will function for approximately two hours.
While very unlikely, if a pod drains its battery
before the end of a surgical procedure, the
pod can be replaced by another one following
the instructions described in the "General
Equipment Information: iASSIST Knee Pod Kit"
section without restarting the application.
A second iASSIST Knee Pod Kit should be
brought in the operating room theater as a
backup.
The pods should be powered-on five minutes
before performing
calibration.
