Laparoscopy Tower Setup Guide

Check page two of your instructions whether you’re setting your system up as a laparoscopic system, you’ll want to measure your shelves from the base to the first shelf, then the second shelf, and then the third shelf. If setting up for a laparoscopic system and gastroscope system, you’ll want to measure your shelves at different heights and use your center pole, turn it upside down, and then you’ll use your base with the wheels. You’re looking for each of the holes that have a C, a C, and a C next to it. You’ll use your biggest Allen wrench, you’ll use your biggest screws along with a washer, and then you’ll line up the holes.

With your screws almost all the way out and loose, you’ll jimmy them down the center pole to get your shelf into place. If you’re setting up your laparoscopic system and you’ve got the laparoscope as well as the gastroscope, you’ll want to position your bottom shelf at four inches up from the base and that’s all dictated in your user guide.

Your second shelf will go at about 18 inches up from the base and then your top extension arm shelf will go at the very top of the center column. This is your CO2 tank holder. You’ll place this down the back center column and just drop it all the way to the bottom. 

And then tighten it up. You’ll take your gastroscope pole holder and rotate it down to about the level of your second elf and then the other one you’ll do the exact same thing with take your zip ties and to make them long enough just put it in gently like that and then you’re going to use these to hold down your surge protector. You’ve placed your surge protector in between the two posts. You’ve used your zip tie to be able to grab it and then that can strap around the top of your post. 

Take the triangular base and place it on the top of the center pole. You’ll take your remaining four bolts, screw them into the top with your largest Allen wrench. Center pole goes into the triangle and screws down. Small set screw on your small Allen wrench will go right into there to hold the black post sturdy.

You’ll take your cord holder and put it down the black center pole. You’ll take this ring and put your set screw into it with your smallest Allen wrench and then put that at about your. Butcher neckline. Your center pole and slide it down into the two braces with the pole being up above your head.

You’ll take this and screw it into your monitor mount just loose. And that will stay out the two screws in the bottom of this plate and then the four center screws. Take your monitor mount and it will go over the other screws that are still remaining. Make sure your wording is facing up with this and your monitor is also facing up. I’ve used my back bracket to hold and control my screw. Place your monitor over the center pole down to your ring.

And then just tighten it up just a little bit. This is your gastroscope hook. When you put this together you’ll put the screws in there. And then the back side will have the screws to be able to tighten it down. And the scope hook will slide down your pole to about the height or a little higher than your monitor.

Your cable guide for the first part of your power supply for your monitor then loop this under here pull this up and then you’ll see a little notch right in here that goes to the power supply.

Use your DVI cable, the black one that came with the gastroscope and plug that into the DVI input there and just screw it. Tight. Back plate can go in and then the two remaining screws can go in there and you’re setting up just the laparoscopy system. 

Use your user guide which has pretty pictures of each of the components. To reference what will go in what order. So your LED light source will go on the very bottom shelf, your Voyant vessel sealer will go next. Your CO2 insufflator will go above that and then your camera box will go above that.

If you’re setting up the laparoscopic system this is your CO2 yoke and hose. You’ll want to make sure that you have a ring inside the yoke part that will fix to your size E CO2 tank and you’ll also want to make sure that you’ve ordered two CO2 tanks. You’ll absolutely have to have them in the hospital prior to your training. You can contact your air gas supplier to supply those CO2 tanks. You’ll want a pair of pliers or a wrench and that will screw on to there that this is your CO2 insulator that will screw tightly to there and give it a good snug screw down and then your CO2 tank will go in the back of your tower and sit there. P system you’ll want to connect your DVI cable from the back of the monitor and then down into either of the inputs for DVI on the bottom on your Stryker camera box.

With your camera box turned on you’ll want to see color bars. When you see color bars that means your monitor is connected to your camera box and then once you plug in your camera you should have a beautiful image. If you’re not seeing color bars hit the menu button there go to input and you want to make sure that this is set on DVI. If it’s not you’ll just move your arrows up and down hit the OK and then you should have your color bars.
