Loading the Device
1. Install the battery pack. An audible click will be heard when the
battery pack is fully inserted. It can be inserted in either orientation;
there is no up or down.
Note: Tissue thickness should be carefully evaluated prior to using
the instrument. Refer to the Reload Product Codes Chart for proper
reload selection.
2. Verify that the reload size matches the instrument size to be used
(e.g., use 60mm reload with 60mm stapler).
4. Snap the reload securely in place.
5. Remove the staple-retaining cap by lifting it straight up and discard.
3. Ensure that the staple retaining cap is present. Insert the reload
by sliding it against the bottom of the reload jaw until the stapler
alignment tab stops in the reload alignment slot of the jaw.
6. Observe the surface of the new reload to ensure no colored drivers
are visible and that the reload lies lat in the jaw channel.
