Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides assembly instructions and troubleshooting guidelines for the GYNECARE VERSAPOINT™ Bipolar Electrosurgery System, specifically focusing on the hysteroscope and associated components.
Assembly Instructions:
  • Hysteroscope Attachment: Align and lock the hysteroscope to the working element using the locking collar.
  • Electrode Attachment: Secure the electrode to the working element and connect it to the connector cable.
  • Obturator and Sheath Assembly: Insert and lock the standard obturator into the inner sheath, then attach to the outer sheath.
  • Light and Video System: Connect the light cable and optionally attach a video endoscopy camera.
  • Fluid Management: Attach inflow and outflow tubing using Luer lock adapters.
  • Insertion into Uterus: Dilate the cervix if necessary, insert the assembly, and remove the obturator.
  • Final Assembly: Attach the working element, hysteroscope, and electrode assembly to the sheaths.
Electrode Selection:
  • Spring Electrode: For rapid tissue vaporization and desiccation.
  • Ball Electrode: For precise tissue vaporization and desiccation.
  • Twizzle Electrode: For vaporization and needle-like cutting.
  • 0° Vaporizing Electrode: For rapid tissue vaporization, including endometrial ablation.
  • Bipolar Loop Electrode: For cutting and resection of tissue.
Troubleshooting:
  • Generator Resets (Fault 100.10): Check grounding, insulation, and electrode integrity.
  • Activation Issues: Verify activation source and footswitch condition.
  • No Display: Check and replace inlet fuse if necessary.
  • Connect Cable Error: Ensure cable is fully inserted and inspect for damage.
  • Insert Electrode Error: Check connector contacts and electrode integrity.
  • Overheating (Fault 300.10): Allow cooling and ensure proper ventilation.
  • Error 200 Ref 15: Ensure hand piece is dry and not in contact with the hysteroscope during activation.
Note: For complete instructions, refer to the Owner's Manual.

Attach the hysteroscope to the working element: • Rotate the hysteroscope-locking collar counter clockwise until the indicator marks are aligned at the top • Insert the hysteroscope into the working element with the light post up • Lock the hysteroscope in place by rotating the locking collar clockwise until secure 2. Attach the electrode to the working element: • Mount the electrode cable boss into the working element mounting block • Swing the electrode towards the hysteroscope • Position the shaft seal so that it fits into the seal groove on the working element and is flush with the sealing taper. Note: The shaft seal is dropped into place, not slid • Using gentle pressure, press the electrode hysteroscope clip onto the hysteroscope • Connect the electrode to the connector cable by aligning the alignment mark on the keyed connector with the alignment mark on the connector cable electrode connector and press firmly together until the electrode connector snaps into place (see the GYNECARE VERSAPOINT System User Manual) 3. Attach the standard obturator to the inner sheath: • Insert the standard obturator into the sheath • Lock the standard obturator in place by pressing it firmly into the sheath-locking ring until the obturator snaps into place 4. Attach the assembled standard obturator and inner sheath to the outer sheath: • Insert the assembled standard obturator and inner sheath assembly into the outer sheath • Screw the inner sheath into the outer sheath using the ribbed ring on the outer sheath 5. Attach the light cable from the light source to the hysteroscope light post. 6. Attach the video endoscopy system camera head to the hysteroscope eyepiece (optional). 7. Attach the inflow tubing to the inflow valve on the inner sheath. An appropriate Luer lock adapter must be used with the inflow tubing set. 8. Attach the outflow tubing to the outflow valve on the outer sheath. An appropriate Luer lock adapter must be used with the outflow tubing set. 9. Insert the assembled standard obturator and sheaths into the uterus:. • Dilate the cervix using an appropriate cervical dilator if necessary • Insert the assembled standard obturator and sheaths into the uterus through the cervix • Remove the standard obturator from the sheath by depressing the inner sheath-locking ring release button and withdrawing the obturator 10. Attach the assembled working element, hysteroscope, and electrode assembly to the sheaths: • Fully retract the working element • Insert the working element, hysteroscope and electrode assembly into the sheaths • Lock the working element, hysteroscope and electrode assembly into place by pressing it firmly against the sheath-locking ring until it snaps into place Note: To disassemble the electrode elements, simply pull them apart.
