System Overview
The Stryker CORE Powered Instrument Driver (console) provides an integrated, centrally controlled environment that promotes safe
and economical surgical practice.
The console’s software provides control over system components including the console, the graphical user interface (GUI), the
irrigation pump, and the connected handpieces and footswitches. The software’s file management capability allows you to save and
store user preference settings and have convenient access to a favorites list of the most frequently used files to improve efficiency.
The color display, with its touch sensitive screen, provides an intuitive graphical user interface that allows you to view multiple system
components and set their parameters with the touch of a finger. Changes may be made rapidly, with little to no interruption during
surgery.
Multiple handpieces and footswitches may be connected and operated simultaneously from a single console. The console provides a
common interface for both micro and heavy-duty handpieces. Because options vary among different handpieces, the console will only
display those options that are related to the connected handpiece.
Various cutting accessories and irrigation cassettes used with the system are also recognized and identified on the console screen by
means of a wireless tag technology.
The console’s enhanced serial interface provides a serial communications channel between the console and other devices. This
feature allows the transfer of data and control information, like run-time data and software upgrades over a computer network.
An integral irrigation pump system reliably supplies coolant/irrigation to the cutting site with adjustable flow rates.
Console settings, like display brightness and speaker volume, may be easily adjusted. The on board speaker provides audible
feedback during operation and configuration.
The console accepts either 115 VAC or 230 VAC input and has the capability to power heavy-duty handpieces.
