5 System Overview
5.1 Operation
The Stryker Neptune 3 Rover (rover) is a mobile unit used
to suction and collect fluid waste and evacuate surgical
smoke from a surgical site. The rover also has a height-
adjustable, powered IV pole.
During collection, fluid waste is removed from the surgical
site through suction tubing connected to inlet ports
of manifold(s) installed in the rover. The fluid waste is
collected in the canister(s) of the rover (Figure 1). The
two-canister design allows separate suction limit ranges
and fluid volume measurement capability. However, both
canisters use a single vacuum pump. The vacuum pump
exhaust and canister exhaust are filtered.
Figure 1 – To Collect Fluid Waste
Manifolds and suction tubing are single-use disposables
and must be replaced between patients. However, it may
not be necessary to empty the contents of the rover’s
collection canisters.
If the rover display indicates sufficient fluid volume
capacity in one or both canisters, the rover may be used
for additional surgical procedures. This concept is known
as fluid stacking (Figure 2). See Section 17 Glossary.
Figure 2 – Fluid Stacking
After collection, the rover is relocated and connected to
the Stryker Docking Station (docker). Once the rover is
connected to the docker, the emptying of the fluid waste
and cleaning of the canisters occurs automatically
(Figure 3).
