3.2 Powering On the Pods and
Intraoperative Calibration
Warning: Verify that the packaging is not
damaged. A damaged package may aect the
sterility of the Pods. If damage to the sterile
packaging is observed, discard the damaged Pod
kit and open another iASSIST Knee Pod Kit.
1. Open an iASSIST Knee Pod Kit and remove the
Pods from the Pod Tray. Place them on the sterile
instrument table.
2. Power-ON each of the Pods by pressing their “Z”
button during 3 seconds. The green status LED
(Light Emitting Diode) of each Pod will blink
quickly.
Warning: The powering on of the Pods must be
performed wearing sterile attire.
Warning: Make sure to power-on the Pods at
the appropriate time i.e. ve minutes before
the start of the intraoperative calibration.
Intraoperative calibration should be per formed
before incising the patient. After power-on, the
Pods will function for approximately two hours.
While very unlikely, if a Pod drains its battery
before the end of a surgical procedure, the Pod
can be replaced by another one following the
instructions described in section “iASSIST Knee
Pod Kit” without restarting the application.
As a backup, a second iASSIST Knee Pod Kit
should be brought in the operating room
theater.
3. Wait for the green status LED of all of the Pods to
start blinking slowly before continuing with the
intraoperative calibration.
