Notes Before Use:
1. The Tissu-Trans FILTRON is sterile and disposable. One patient use.
Do Not Re-sterilize or Re-use.
2. Product is ready for use. Do not open canister or lid.
3. Be certain that the tissue is well hydrated - as in superwet tumescent anesthesia.
4. Must use a standard waste canister between the FILTRON and suction source.
During harvest, waste is filtered out to waste canister.
5. Recommended to use a 3mm Harvest Cannula.
6. Recommended to use the medical grade tubing provided to assure non-toxic pathway.
7. Do not use if sterile pouch is torn or punctured.
8. If Filtron does not hold a vacuum, use a new device and call Customer Service.
Instructions:
1. Drape canister stand with sterile Mayo stand cover (or equivalent).
2. Remove sterile components and place on sterile surface. Remove and discard protective
packaging.
3. Secure FILTRON to canister stand by inserting mounting bracket on canister into
universal slots on stand - being careful to maintain sterility.
4. Connect standard suction tubing to the VAC port on the canister lid. Connect the other end to
waste canister and suction.
5. Connect L-Connector end of included harvest tubing to PATIENT port on the cannister lid.
Connect other end of tubing to cannula.
6. Turn on suction. Check all connections. Adjust vacuum pressure to 15" or 380mm Hg.
System may be tested with sterile saline to ensure proper flow.
7. Harvest desired volume of fat. Quality fat will remain in filter and waste will be suctioned
out to waste canister. Fat remaining in filter will be ready for re-injection (if applicable).
Filtered fat may still have some liquid, which is necessary to ensure proper flow during transfer.
After fat is transferred to syringes, it may be decanted further and excess liquid expelled.
