Description

The Wireless Communication System may be used in conjunction with the Stryker Turbo 5
Communication Helmet. The Turbo 5 Communication Helmet is a component of the Personal
Protection System which is intended as a personal protection system to provide a barrier
between the operating environment and the members of the surgical team in order to help
protect against contamination and/or exposure to infectious body fluids and harmful
microorganisms.

The Wireless Communication System facilitates simultaneous communication between as
many as four people where communication may be compromised by ambient noise or
muffled by protective surgical gear. The system allows hands-free direct communication for
surgical team members within the operating room and for team members in different work
areas. To facilitate clarity, ambient noise is filtered by noise canceling microphones. Under
optimal conditions, transmission range extends to .125 mile.

The system requires a Digitally Matched Set of Radios which are provided with four AC
Charger/Adaptors and a Multiple Outlet Power Strip. Voice transmits through Turbo 5
Communication Helmets or Stand Alone Headsets. A Supplemental Battery is available with
the Extended Life Battery Set and may be used to double talking time.

Accessory Information

WARNING: Use only Stryker approved accessories. Contact your Stryker sales

representative for a complete list of accessories. DO NOT modify any accessory.

Instructions

Color Code Your Radios

NOTES:

• The radios in this set are digitally matched and must be

retained as a set. Color ID labels are provided so you can
color code each radio in the set with the same color labels
for quick reference.

• If your facility uses multiple sets of radios, select a unique

color to differentiate each set. If colors are duplicated,
write on the labels to further identify matched set.

1. Select one label set. For example, red.

2. Apply the label marked MASTER on the master

radio. Select the labels marked REMOTE from the
same label set and apply them to the remote
radios.

Charging the Radios and Supplemental Battery

CAUTIONS:

• Do not substitute the AC charger/adaptors or power strip

as damage may occur to the battery.

• Do not exceed 16 hours of charging time. For optimum

battery performance and life, do not leave a radio or
supplemental battery connected to the AC charger/adaptor
after reaching full charge.

NOTE: Radios must be turned off while charging.

1. Plug the power strip into an AC wall

outlet.

2. Turn the power strip on. The toggle

switch will illuminate.

3. Plug the AC charger/adaptors into

the power strip receptacles.

4. Ensure each radio is turned off.

5. Plug the AC charger/adaptor

connectors firmly into each
radio and/or supplemental
battery jack. The charge
indicator will illuminate to
indicate a charging
connection.

6. Allow radios and/or

supplemental batteries to
charge for a minimum of
12 hours.

Using the Radios

NOTES:

• Radios must fully charged before use.

• Radios must be from the same digitally matched set. A

matched set will have the same code number and color
code if you’ve opted to use the color code labels.

• The master radio must be turned on prior to turning on

the remote radios and remain in proximity to other
radios.

• Communication will be disrupted if the master radio is

turned off. Remote radios may be turned off and on
without disrupting other team members.

• Audio performance will become erratic with excessive

interference such as squeaking or buzzing if battery
power becomes too low.

• A supplemental battery may be used to prolong

communication. See instructions for Using a

Supplemental Battery.

1. Verify that each radio has the same ID number to

ensure a digitally matched set. Additionally, if color
code labels were used, they will facilitate quicker
identification of a digitally matched set.

2. Make sure each radio is turned off.

3. Put on the headsets/helmets. If using the Turbo 5

Communication Helmet, refer to instructions supplied
with the helmet. If using a stand-alone headset, adjust
the boom so that the microphone is approximately 1.0
inch away from the mouth.

4. Hang radios from the waistband on the left hip to

ensure free arm movement and convenient access to
the on/off/volume dial.

5. Plug the headset/helmet cable into each radio.

6. Initially turn on the master radio with the on/off-volume

dial keeping the volume low. The power indicator will
immediately illuminate. Wait 15 seconds then turn on
each remote radio.

7. Verify that communication is established by having

team members speak into their microphones. Adjust
the on/off-volume dial to set volume at a comfortable
level.

8. If using a helmet, put on the Steri-Shield togas or

hoods. Refer to instructions supplied with the togas
and hoods.

NOTE: Communication will be disrupted if the master radio
is turned off. To reestablish communication, turn each
radio off. Turn the master radio on again and wait 15

seconds then turn on each remote radio.
Communication will resume.

Using the Supplemental Battery Pack
