The Neptune S Waste Management System is indicated for use in procedures where collecting and disposing of fluid waste
and capturing suctioned tissue specimens is desired. It is intended to be used in operating rooms, pathology, surgical
centers, procedure rooms, and for endoscopic procedures, such as colonoscopies, esophagogastroduodenoscopies
(EGDs), and bronchoscopies.

The Neptune S Waste Management System is contraindicated against:
• Connection directly to chest tubes, and
• Connection to closed-wound drainage systems.
Complications particular to the use of this device are: closed wound drainage where vacuum levels below 50 mm-Hg are
required; tissue stabilizers where sustained, minimum vacuum level is required; conformal patient positioners where
sustained, minimum vacuum level is required; fluid suction power too low during critical part of surgery (inability to achieve
hemostasis); and sensitive tissue damage if vacuum power is too high.

Key clinical users include the surgeon, circulating nurse, scrub tech/nurse, and anesthetist. For gastrointestinal procedures,
users include the gastroenterologist, endoscopy technician, and anesthetist.

The general patient population is anyone subject to general surgery or diagnostic procedures where the device can be
used.
The patient populations at greatest risk are – pediatric/geriatric patients or others with tissue especially sensitive to
barotrauma (suction related tissue damage), patients undergoing a procedure where bleeding control could be an issue,
and patients at risk for general anesthesia.
