MyoSure LITE Tissue Removal Device
Instructions for Use
uterine tissue can be injured by improper use of the tissue removal
device. Use every available means to avoid such injury.
• Use only the MyoSure Control Unit to connect to the MyoSure LITE Tissue
Removal Device. Use of any other drive mechanism may result in failure
of the device to operate or lead to patient or physician injury.
• If visualization is lost at any point during a procedure, stop cutting
immediately.
• Periodic irrigation of the tissue removal device tip is recommended
to provide adequate cooling and to prevent accumulation of excised
materials in the surgical site.
• Ensure that vacuum pressure >200 mm Hg is available before
commencing surgery.
• DANGER: Risk of explosion if used in the presence of flammable
anesthetics.
• WARNING - Exercise extreme caution when resecting tissue in
patients who have implants that extend into the uterine cavity.
• Do not use the MyoSure LITE Tissue Removal Device to resect tissue that
is adjacent to an implant. When resecting tissue in patients that have
implants, assure that:
the MyoSure LITE Tissue Removal Device's cutting window is facing
•
away from (i.e., 180° opposite) the implant;
the visual field is clear; and
•
the MyoSure LITE Tissue Removal Device's cutting window is engaged
•
in tissue and is moved away from the implant as tissue resection
proceeds.
• WARNING - Please consider pre-operative imaging prior to the
procedure to assess the patient for evidence of placental invasion
of the myometrium. In the immediate postpartum phase, removal of
retained products of conception (RPOC) in the setting of known or
suspected placenta acreta, placenta increta or placenta percreta
poses a risk of significant and potentially life threatening bleeding.
• In the event an implant becomes entangled with a MyoSure cutter, the
following steps are recommended:
cease cutting immediately;
•
kink the MyoSure LITE Tissue Removal Device's outflow tube to
•
prevent a loss of uterine distension;
