2.1 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The Stryker Endoscopy Model X-7000 Light Source is a
precision instrument which has been engineered and man-
ufactured with great care to ensure the safety of operators
and patients. In order to maintain the high level of safety
and reliability required of the X-7000, it is important to
fully understand and comply with all required procedures
set out herein.
If some part of a procedure is omitted or adequate equip-
ment is not used, the safety and performance of the device
may be unknowingly compromised. It is strongly recom-
mended that if any element in these procedures is beyond
the scope of the technician’s training, refer to section 1.7
for information on obtaining fully qualified professional
service at Stryker Endoscopy.
WA R N I N G : As is the case with all AC powered devices,
dangerous voltages are present. If adequate
safety precautions are not taken, results may
include damage to the equipment, injury, or
death. It is imperative that these procedures
be approached only by trained technicians
with proper equipment after fully reading
and understanding the steps involved.
2.2 POWER REQUIREMENTS
• There is one AC power cord for the X-7000 Light Source.
A separate AC power cord is normally required for any
other instrument being used.
• Each instrument is clearly marked for power require-
ments at the AC power cord connection.
• Testing the outlet for proper grounding and polarity is
highly recommended prior to connecting the X-7000
Light Source. If available, a ground-fault-interrupt type
outlet will provide an additional level of safety.
NOTE: A proper electrical installation procedure will
ensure that all associated signal cabling is cor-
rectly installed prior to applying AC power to the
system.
2.3 AMBIENT REQUIREMENTS
Ensure that:
• The distance between the X-7000 Light Source and the
associated devices does not exceed the available cable
length.
• Controls will be easily accessible to operator.
• Ventilation is not obstructed around the unit. Avoid
locations with excessive heat or temperature fluctua-
tions, such as direct sunlight.
2.4 CONNECTIONS AND WIRING
Please refer to the procedures detailed in the X-7000 Uni-
versal Light Source Operating and Maintenance Manual
(Stryker P/N #1000-400-651).
2.5 VERIFY OPERATION
After ensuring that both power and signal connections
have been correctly made, place the power switch in each
unit to the “ON” position. Check that an image is present
on the monitor.
