1. SUMMARY The Point Setter acts as a third arm that can firmly hold an endoscope for a surgeon. Surgeons can operate it quite easily with only one switch required to allow it to be free or to be locked. Surgeons can position their surgical instruments in the desired angle with the use of the Point Setter.
3. Handling Instructions A. Sterilization of Endoscope Holder Warning: The Point Setter arm and OR table adapter are never sterilized. Instead they are covered by a sterile drape as referenced in 3. D. (page 15). Sterilize the endoscope holder using the following instructions. Please follow these instructions carefully.

■ Cleaning Instructions for the Endoscope Holder Caution: Wear protective gloves, clothing, and a face mask for cleaning of contaminated endoscope holder. Caution: Hot water (greater than 49 degrees C or 120 degrees F) will alter organic materials (blood and tissue), making them difficult to remove.

After cleaning, inspect the endoscope holder for cleanliness and damage. Before sterilization, lubricate all moving parts of the endoscope holder with a non-silicone water soluble instrument milk or lubricant (e.g., Codman Preserve per manufacturer’s instructions). Silicon- or oil-based lubricants are not recommended for use because sterilants cannot penetrate the silicone or oil.
Flash Sterilization Flash sterilization can be accomplished in either a pre-vacuum or gravity displacement type of sterilization unit. Flash sterilization in a gravity displacement unit proceeds without a drying phase. We have validated flash sterilization using a gravity displacement unit and the following conditions: Temperature: 132.2 to 133.3 degrees C or 270 to 272 degrees F Pressure:...
C. Before Draping Patient Perform this part before covering the patient with sterile cloth. Set up OR table adapter on the side rail of the operating table. Try to locate the arm at the best position during operating considering the C-arm X-ray or other possible interfering surgical instruments.
