Stryker TPS
Stryker · Model TPS
Total Performance Arthroscopy Shaver Console Works with the Stryker 12K Shaver Handpiece.
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
It was discovered that the silicone potting failed to properly cure after undergoing the prescribed curing possess. The potting material is used to insulate, stabilize and provide a moisture barrier to the TPS MicroDriver main Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA). Inadequate cure of the silicone potting could potentially allow it to leak to the outside of the handpiece or cause an electrical ma

The safety margin values detailed in the Engineering Design were entered incorrectly into the programming software. Handpieces that have been programmed with the incorrect parameters could result in unintended activation. There is a potential for injury to the patient or user as a result of unintended forward or reverse activation. There is also the potential that the handpiece may not reach 100
- RECALL
There is a potential for these blades to break where the blade is welded on to the arbor. This hazard can result in the following harms: tissue damage due to the broken blade being aspirated or swallowed, additional surgery to remove a broken blade, infection due to an unretrieved device component, complications associated with increased time under anesthesia to retrieve a broken blade, osteomyeli
- RECALL
Product was packaged with an incorrect packaging material and therefore has a potential to be non-sterile which, if contaminated, could lead to a patient infection.
- RECALL
Lack of assurance of sterility.
