Product Description
Stryker AIM HD autoclavable laparoscopes are tubular optical
instruments used to provide a view of internal patient anatomy
for examination, diagnosis, and therapy during laparoscopic
procedures.
AIM HD Autoclavable Laparoscopes offer the following:
• High image definition
• Visualization of near-infrared modalities produced by the Stryker
L10 LED Light Source with AIM Technology (0220-220-300) in
ENV and IRIS modes
• Optimized visualization of ICG (Indocyanine Green) when
operating the L10 LED Light Source with AIM Technology in the
ENV mode
• Image that stays in focus when switching from white light to ENV
mode and back
• Autoclavable
AIM HD laparoscopes are identifiable by their green eyepiece. They
are offered in two diameters and directions of view:

Stryker laparoscopes are intended for use by qualified persons
during laparoscopic procedures to provide an internal view or
image of the patient. In all cases, the surgeon is best advised to use
a method in which his/her own practice and discretion dictate to
be the best for the patient. These instructions are recommended
for the proper function of the device. This material is not intended
as a reference for laparoscopic examination or surgery, nor is it
intended to replace training, including relevant preceptorship(s).
Note: The AIM HD Laparoscope is not intended to be used with the
Stryker InfraVision™ Illuminator (0220-180-521).

use. Prior to cleaning, disinfection, or sterilization, remove any
protective sheathing that was used to protect the laparoscope
during shipment. These include rubber caps on the distal and
proximal end of the laparoscope as well as a plastic cover on
the light post.
3. Before each use, the outer portion of the laparoscope intended
to be inserted into the patient should be checked to ensure
there are no rough edges or protrusions that may accidentally
cut or damage patient tissue.
4. Laparoscopic procedures should be performed only by persons
having adequate training and familiarity with laparoscopic
techniques. Consult medical literature relative to techniques,
complications and hazards prior to performing any
laparoscopic procedure.
5. Failure to use protective filters or suitable filtering spectacles
during the activation of a surgical laser beam may cause eye
damage to the user.
6. When used with a light source, the laparoscope can reach
temperatures exceeding 41°C (106°F) near the light cable
inlet and the distal tip, creating a risk for patient burns and
operating room fires. To reduce these risks:
• Never leave the laparoscope in direct contact with patient
tissue or combustible materials, such as drapes or gauze.
• Always start the procedure with the light source at its lowest
possible setting. As needed, gradually increase the light
output to the minimum level where adequate illumination
is achieved.
• Before disconnecting the light cable or adapters, turn off the
light source and allow the laparoscope to cool.
7. When used with a light source, there is risk of high-intensity
light causing injury to user's eyes. While the light source is on,
or while it is briefly shutting down, do not look into the scope
tip or the end of the light cable if it is disconnected from the
scope.
8. Do not leave the SafeLight adapter attached to the cable
without an endoscope attached:
• Light can continue to emit from the adapter, which can
generate heat that can cause burns or fires if allowed to
