opening in the outer resector. Press and hold the Window Lock Set button to set the Window Lock. The Window Lock will rotate while the button is pressed.
Release the button when the Window Lock has reached the desired position.
NOTE: The Resector Window Lock can also be set from the TRIVEX System control console unit console by pressing and holding the Resector Speed Increase and
Decrease buttons simultaneously.

RESECTOR HANDPIECE IRRIGATION CONTROL

Turn the Saline Pump on using the Saline Pump ON/OFF Button. The TRIVEX System defaults to a Saline Pump Flow setting level of one on startup. This is
approximately 50 ml/min. The Saline Pump will only run while the Resector Handpiece Run button is held down.
The Saline Pump Flow can be increased or decreased by pressing the Flow Increase or
Flow Decrease buttons located above and below the Saline Pump Flow Display. The Saline Pump has five Flow settings. The approximate flow rates for the pump
fall between 50 ml per minute and 175 ml per minute.
NOTE: The Saline Pump ON/OFF Button glows orange when the pump is off and glows green when the pump is on.
NOTE: While operating the Resector Handpiece be sure that the saline pump is turned ON.

RESECTOR SPEED

The resector speed display indicates the current speed of the resector in rpm. When the TRIVEX System is turned on, the system is set to a default resector speed
of 500 rpm. Use the increase and decrease push-buttons below the console display to set the actual speed of the resector. Pressing the increase and decrease
buttons simultaneously will enable the Window Lock function.
Each press of a button will increase or decrease the speed of the resector by 100 rpm. The Resector speed can be set to any 100 rpm increment between 100 rpm
and 1500 rpm.
The Forward (>>) and Reverse (<<) arrows that bracket the Resector Mode Select button indicate the resector direction.
CAUTION: Do not allow the rotating portion of the resector to touch any metallic object such as the illuminator. Damage to both instruments is likely. Damage to the
resector can range from a slight distortion or dulling of the resector edge to actual fracture of the tip in vivo. If such contact does occur, inspect the tip. If you find cracks,
fractures or dulling, or if you have any other reason to suspect a resector is damaged, replace it immediately.
CAUTION: Excessive leverage on the resector does not improve cutting performance and, in extreme cases, may result in wear and degradation of the inner assembly.

CUTTING

Cutting takes place when the resector edge of the inner tube rotates across the resector's outer window. The resector action alternately opens and closes the
window to modulate the suction flow.

WINDOW LOCK

With the Window Lock feature, the resector handpiece can be set to stop the resector in a specific position. The window can be fully opened or closed, or
somewhere in between, depending on the technique requirement. Pressing the Window Lock button on the resector handpiece, or pressing the increase and
decrease buttons on the console simultaneously will engage the Window Lock function.
CAUTION: Do not operate the resector in the open air for an extended period, as the lack of irrigation may cause the resector to overheat and seize.

TRIVEX SYSTEM ILLUMINATOR IRRIGATION

Turn the Tumescence Pump on using the Tumescence Pump ON/OFF Button. The TRIVEX System defaults to a Tumescence Pump Flow setting level of four on
startup approximately 450 ml/min.
The Tumescence Pump Flow can be increased or decreased by pressing the Flow Increase or Flow Decrease buttons located above and below the Tumescence
Pump Flow Display. The Tumescence Pump has five Flow settings. The approximate flow rates for the pump fall between 300 ml per minute and 500 ml per
minute.
NOTE: The Tumescence Pump ON/OFF Button glows orange when the pump is off and glows green when the pump is on.
Press and hold either footswitch to start the Tumescence Pump. Release the footswitch to stop the pump.
NOTE: The TRIVEX System starts up with the Tumescence pump OFF. The Tumescence Pump must be started using the Tumescence Pump ON/OFF button before the
footswitches will work.

TRIVEX SYSTEM ILLUMINATOR CONTROL

Turn the illuminator lamp on using the Lamp ON/OFF Button. When the TRIVEX System lamp is first turned on the button will flash green for 10 seconds while the
system does a lamp check.
When the lamp is off the Button glows orange. Each time the lamp is turned off, it will enter a 30-second cool-down cycle. This 30-second cycle is in addition to
the 10-second lamp check cycle. As a result, the lamp button can flash green for up to 40 seconds before switching to a steady green glow.
In the event that the lamp does not light after the self-check cycles, the lamp button will flash orange.
