Tissue Removal Device: 10-401
The MyoSure Tissue Removal Device is shown in Figure 1. It is a hand-held
unit which is connected to the control unit via a 6-foot (1.8-meter) flexible
drive cable and to a collection canister via a 10-foot (3-meter) vacuum
tube. Cutting action is activated by a foot pedal. The tissue removal device
is a single-use device designed to hysteroscopically remove intrauterine
tissue.
FIGURE 1. MYOSURE TISSUE REMOVAL DEVICE
The flexible drive cable is inserted into the drive cable connection on the
front panel of the MyoSure Control Unit.
The proximal end of the vacuum tubing is connected to a collection
canister. The vacuum pressure draws fluid and resected tissue through the
tissue removal device's cutting window.

device is sterile prior to use. Do not use if the package is opened or
damaged. Discard all opened, unused devices.

Connecting Tissue Removal Device to the Control Unit
1. Remove the tissue removal device (REF 10-401) from the sterile
package.
2. Sterile person hands the flexible drive cable and vacuum tubing to the
non-sterile person.
3. Non-sterile person inserts the flexible cable into the corresponding
connection on the control unit as shown in Figure 3.
4. The tissue removal device flexible drive cable has a keyed feature that
serves to align the handpiece cable to the control unit connector. The
metal tab on the connector is pushed down, the flexible cable inserted
and then the tab is released.
FIGURE 3. INSERT DRIVE CABLE AND FOOT PEDAL INTO CONTROL UNIT
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to sharply bend the flexible drive cable in
a diameter of less than 8 inches (20 centimeters). A sharply bent or
kinked drive cable may cause the control unit to overheat and stop.
During a procedure, a minimum distance of 5 feet (1.5 meters) should
be maintained between the control unit and the tissue removal device
to allow the drive cable to hang in a large arc with no bends, loops, or
kinks.
5. Non-sterile person attaches the tissue removal device vacuum tubing
to the corresponding connection on the tissue trap of the collecton
canister as shown in Figure 4.
