iASSIST Knee Pod Kit (cont.)
Warning: Because of risks related to lithium
battery explosion, the pods should not be exposed
to extreme heat such as an autoclave.
Care must be taken not to expose the pods to
strong impacts. Strong magnetic fields should not
approach the pods. This may erroneously trigger
switches affecting the surgical flow (accuracy of
sensors is not affected).
Functionality and accuracy of the pods may be
affected if exposed to X-ray radiation.
Be careful to not expose the pods to water until the
power button is depressed. Once depressed, the
power button will seal the inner compartment of
the pod.
The pods can be washed using distilled water. Any
excess water should be wiped off since it could
affect wireless communication.
Colorblind users may rely on the numbers displayed
next to navigation numbers. Also, the system
controller computer screen displays more details.
Work Around
In some rare condition, it is known that the pods
may lose network connection and may not be able
to reconnect to the system controller computer. In
this case, the user can re-scan the barcode, which
will reinitialize the RF session allowing lost pods to
reconnect the computer.

Battery life indication is visible on the pod and in the
"Pod Status" bar on the system controller computer
screen.
Pod Replacement During a Procedure
In the case a pod drains its battery before the end of
a surgical procedure or if a pod gets contaminated,
or malfunctions, it can be replaced by another one
without restarting the application following these
instructions:
1. Use another iASSIST Knee 2-Pod Kit.
2. Scan the 2D barcode located on the iASSIST Knee
Pod Kit.
3. Open the iASSIST Knee Pod Kit, power-on each of
the new pods.
4. Once all the pods have joined the network, perform
the intraoperative calibration as described in the
"Powering-On Pods and Intraoperative Calibration"
section.
5. Once the new pods are calibrated, discard the
drained or contaminated pod and replace it with
the same type of pod from the newly calibrated
pods (for example, if a reference pod attached to the
validation tool has drained its battery, remove the
pod from the validation tool and attach the newly
calibrated pod to the instrument).
6. Continue the surgical procedure where it was
stopped to replace the drained pod.
