Stryker SDC HD Digital Capture System
Stryker · Model SDC HD Digital Capture System
Sending and storing images. Flexible patient file retrieval. Simultaneous still and video documentation. Easy text input. Accurate image and video labeling. Full integration with PACS systems. Writing MPEG files. Dictating separate audio files.
Key tips
- ·Never defeat or bypass a return-electrode monitoring (REM) alarm to finish a case - it's a direct burn risk.
- ·Verify OR table battery backup - a table that loses power mid-procedure is a real, documented incident type.
- ·Track surgical light lamp-hours rather than waiting for failure - a sudden failure mid-case is avoidable.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Will not reach or hold set joint / cavity pressure
HighSymptoms: Pressure droops or overshoots, poor distension, pressure or flow alarm.
Root cause: Pump-head / roller wear, a pressure-sensor fault, a leak in the tubing / inflow-outflow, or a blocked cannula.
Tubing / cassette-detection fault
MediumSymptoms: Cassette / tubing not recognised, will not prime, leaks at the pump head.
Root cause: Cassette-detection switch or worn pump-head seals.
Outflow / suction-control fault
MediumSymptoms: Poor outflow, cannot clear debris, outflow alarm.
Root cause: Outflow pump / valve or a blocked suction line.
Shaver / handpiece fault (shaver systems)
MediumSymptoms: Blade will not oscillate / rotate, weak cut, handpiece not recognised, footswitch dead.
Root cause: Worn shaver handpiece / motor, or its cable / footswitch.
Display / control fault
LowSymptoms: Unresponsive touchscreen or keys, will not power on.
Root cause: Display / control board or power supply.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Pre-case functional check
- ·Electrosurgical return-electrode cable inspection
- ·Table hydraulic / mechanical inspection
- ·Annual electrical safety test and full PM
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Will not hold set pressure / poor distension
- Fit a fresh tubing set / cassette and re-prime.
- Confirm the inflow and outflow cannulae are patent and connections are tight.
- Run the pump self-test and verify the set pressure against a gauge if possible.
- Inspect the pump-head rollers / seals for wear.
- Replace the pump head or pressure sensor as isolated.
Symptom: Shaver will not run (shaver systems)
- Swap the shaver handpiece and cable.
- Check the footswitch and its connection.
- Confirm the console recognises the handpiece.
- Test forward / reverse / oscillate modes.
- Replace the handpiece or refer the console output as isolated.

- RECALL
Users may experience issues with the functionality of the SwitchPoint Infinity 2 and SwitchPoint Element that may be exhibited as a "Page Not Found" error message, missing drop down options, or a frozen touch panel.
- RECALL
Device will not able to assign the correct time/date stamp for saved filed after December 31, 2009. On Jan 1, 2010, the device system date for all SDC Pro 2 units will re-start from 1 Oct 2001 and begin incrementing from that point onwards. The system date will be incorrect and users will not be able to correct this issue. Problem will not affect how pictures or videos are captured using SDC Pro
- RECALL
Video device is not able to assign the correct time/date stamp.
- RECALL
Product at times experiences intermittent signal loss due to electromagnetic interference.
- RECALL
Patient Identification numbers and names may be applied to images from another patient due to a software issue. This failure mode can only occur when the pre-load function of the SDC ultra is used.
- RECALL
Assembly problems: MIS instruments (Triathlon MIS AP Sizer Body - Left; Triathlon MIS Sizer Body - Right; Triathlon MIS Femoral Adjustment Block and Triathlon MIS Modular Capture) may not assemble properly.
