RUBINA and TELESCOPES
Which laparoscope size and angle are most commonly used for a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy?
5mm 30° laparoscope
What are some of the technical tasks that 3D visualization can assist a surgeon with?
Suturing, Dissection, knot tying
What is the maximum pressure for high flow mode? What is the max pressure for Pediatric mode?
High Flow: 30 mmHg, Pediatrics: 15 mmHg
Name one advantage of the AIDA BELLA compared to the STRYKER Connected OR Hub?
Ability to record in 3D, cost, doesn't require license for each functionality, TOMS integration
Why should you focus on selling Rubina laparoscopes superior to traditional scopes?
Revenue generation, NIR ready, better lens, edge to edge clarity, harder for third party to repair.
What are the key features of the TIPCAM Rubina compared to OLYMPUS 3D Endoeye?
Horizon Control, 4K , ICG
Who are the biggest competitors in the insufflator market?
Stryker (PneumoSeal) and ConMed (AirSeal)
Which feature allows users to record either one input or both inputs simultaneously in the STORZ software?
Dual Channel
Name 2 things that could cause damage to a scope during surgery and/or during the sterilization process
Drop, torque, remove from the surgery promptly, not using a sterilization tray, ultrasonic flash, instruments thrown on top
In your own words describe Horizon Control to a surgeon.
Maintains an upright image while the TIPCAM is rotated. There is a gravity sensor in the camera and measures and detects changes in orientation and rotational movement. This only requires a one hand motion unlike a traditonal camera and telescope.
What is the importance of smoke evacuation?
Surgical smoke contains over 150 hazardous chemicals and carcinogens. Sixteen of those chemicals are on the EPA’s priority pollutant list. The daily impact of inhaling surgical smoke for an operating team is the equivalent of smoking 27 to 30 unfiltered cigarettes. Image clarity enhanced by smoke evacuation.
How much internal memory is in the AIDA Bella?
2TB
What are key benefits of including a service contract when selling laparoscopes?
It makes the customer happier and more loyal. It helps your run rate for recurring revenue. It reduces communication issues with the customer
What 2 procedures might be good targets for the TIPCAM and why?
Roux-en-Y, hysterectomy, sacrocopopexy, liver resection, why? complexity and it helps with technical tasks such as suturing and dissection- low pelvis, complex anatomy
What are the four main operating modes of the Endoflator+ UI600?
High Flow, Pediatric, EVH, taTME
Name all the ways in which you can trigger images and videos on the AIDA BELLA?
Using the smart screen, from the camera head, and wireless foot pedal
A surgeon is experiencing a blurry or dark image during a laparoscopic procedure. What steps should you take to troubleshoot the issue. Name 2.
Inspect the scope for damage (dents, broken lens) using a loop. Check the light cable for loose connections. Wipe/polish the lens to remove blood or debris. Ensure the light source is set correctly (automatic or at least 50%). Verify monitor settings and adjust as needed. Check if the scope was torqued during the case or if there is a broken light fiber.
You see a double image on the 3D monitor, even with 3D glasses. What’s the most likely cause?
The monitor is tilted or not aligned properly with eye level
Why is tubing selection critical for the Endoflator+ system?
Tubing determines which features (heating, smoke evac, humidification, desufflation) are available
What should you do if there is no print icon on the GUI?
Set the default print setting to 'during capture' or 'Mandatory'
