WHAT REAL-TIME FEEDBACK PROVIDES:

  • Real-time information to the clinician
  • Visual cues that corrolate to the tactile feedback of a manual stapler
  • Tissue sensing that gives feedback upon clamping and firing through tissue

Real-Time Feedback

  • The Signia™ stapling system's real-time feedback before and during firing, allows you to make an informed decision about your staple load selection.([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #RE00055515, Surgeon evaluation testing Signia™ stapling system sensing technology and real-time feedback. Aug 4th, 2016],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]),††
  • For example, if clamp feedback is elevated, the current reload may be clamped on thicker tissue, more challenging tissues applications, or may indicate additional materials are in the jaws.2,3,†
  • This feedback is continually displayed during firing helping to support identification of areas along the staple line where higher forces were experienced.([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #R2146-151-0, Powered stapling firing speed DOE analysis and ASA parameters: preliminary ex vivo porcine model data using various speeds a user can deploy staples with a manual handle (n=243 firings). 2015.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]),([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #R2146-173-0, ASA Verification Testing with Slow Speed Force Limit Evaluation, 2015.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])
signia zone1

Zone 1

Zone 1 indicates the stapler will start firing at its regular speed to deliver optimal staple formation([FOOTNOTE=PT00002451 Signia™ Stapler User Manual, Page 13.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

signia zone2

Zone 2

Zone 2 indicates the stapler will require a higher firing force due to thicker or variable tissue and the device will slow its speed to deliver optimal staple formation4

signia zone3

Zone 3

Zone 3 indicates the stapler will require the highest firing force due to very thick or variable tissue and the device will adjust to its slowest speed to deliver optimal staple formation4
