ENGLISH
To place removable outflow channel into hysteroscope:
Insert the removable outflow channel into the proximal seal of the
hysteroscope working channel. Reverse this process to remove the
outflow channel.
T
o Attach Fluid Connections:
The Omni 3.7mm Diagnostic Sheath, Omni 5.5mm Operative
Sheath and Omni 6mm Operative Sheath accept a standard male
luer connection for fluid inflow. The Removable Outflow Channel
includes a universal stopcock for both luer and friction connections.
Needed Equipment for Indicated Procedures
Fiber optic light source, fiber optic light guide (not supplied with this
product)
Hysteroscope Assembly/Disassembly Instructions
The Omni Hysteroscope is compatible with Metal-Halide and Xenon
light sources with up to 300 watts of power.
Place the correct adapter on the light post of the fiber optic scope
and on the instrument end of the light guide. Adapters are available
for connection to Storz, Olympus, Dyonics, Wolf, and ACMI light
sources as shown in Figure 4.

FIGURE 4. LIGHT POST ADAPTERS
The light post threads may be lubricated as needed, being sure to
remove any excess lubricant as required. Make sure that the fiber
optic surface remains free of foreign matter. Do not use tools to
tighten the adapters – hand tighten only.
Directions for Use
The surgeon may look through the direct-view hysteroscope (with
eyepiece) directly with his or her eye. If a video system is being
connected to the scope, thread a camera coupler onto the camera
head and then insert the eyepiece into the camera coupler.
Plug the video cable into the camera control unit (CCU).
Turn on the power to the monitor, CCU, and light source. Adjust the
video system components per the manufacturer's instructions. The
system is now ready to use.
Hysteroscope Cleaning Instructions—General
The device should not be allowed to dry after procedure before
cleaning to ensure effective removal of contaminant material.
• If still inserted, separate the removable outflow channel from the
hysteroscope.
• If still attached, separate the sheath from the hysteroscope using
the locking mechanism at the base of the hysteroscope.
• Light post Adapters must be removed prior to cleaning and
sterilization.
Storz/Olympus
• Remove single-use seals and seal caps from hysteroscope and
removable outflow channel(s).
• Warning: Failure to remove the single-use seals from
hysteroscope and removable outflow channels will affect
proper cleaning and sterilization of the product.
• Open the stopcocks on the sheath(s) and removable outflow
channel(s).
• Flush all lumens of the hysteroscope, sheath(s) and removable
outflow channel(s) with warm tap water.
• Scrub the hysteroscope, sheath(s), and removable outflow
channel(s) using a nylon-bristled brush that is suitable to contact
the full interior dimensions (diameter and length) of the lumens.
Scrub all surfaces, crevices, interior cavities of the stopcock and
lumens to remove any visible debris. Do not scratch any of the
optical surfaces.
• The following brushes dimensions are recommended
•
For the Omni 5.5mm and 6mm Operative Sheaths, a nylon-
bristled brush with bristle area length of 2" (50mm), bristle
diameter of 0.315" (8mm) and an overall length of 14" (35cm)
is recommended
•
For the Omni 3.7mm Diagnostic Sheath and all other lumens,
a nylon-bristled brush with bristle area length of 2" (50mm),
bristle diameter of 0.197" (5mm) and an overall length of 14"
(35cm) is recommended.
• Utilizing the stopcocks, flush the lumens of the sheath(s) and
removable outflow channel(s) with an enzymatic, neutral pH
cleaner a minimum of three (3) times ensuring that no air
remains within the lumen.
• Flush the lumen of the hysteroscope with enzymatic, neutral
pH cleaner a minimum of three (3) times ensuring that no air
remains within the lumen.
• Hysteroscope, sheath(s), removable outflow channel(s) and
accessory components should be soaked in an enzymatic,
neutral pH cleaner in accordance with cleaning solution
instructions.
• Thoroughly rinse the hysteroscope, sheath(s), and removable
outflow channel(s), including flushing all lumens, and accessory
components to completely remove the cleaning solution.
• Dry the hysteroscope, sheath(s), removable outflow channel(s)
and accessory components with a lint free soft cloth or filtered
compressed air.
• Visually check all surfaces, crevices, interior cavities of the
stopcock and lumens.
• Check visually for cleanliness to ensure that all debris have been
removed. If not visually clean, repeat the reprocessing steps until
the device is visually clean.
Hysteroscope Cleaning Instructions—
Optical Surfaces
Due to insufficient cleaning or foreign matter contamination,
deposits may develop on the three optical surfaces of the
hysteroscope as shown below.
These are:
• The distal tip
• The proximal window or eyepiece
• The fiber optic light post
