Product Description/Intended Use

The Stryker Digital Capture System Ultra (SDC Ultra) is a computer-based
unit that records, manages, and archives digital images and videos of surgical
procedures. The SDC Ultra simplifies file management by recording surgical
photos and videos to compact digital media, such as CDs, DVDs, Compact
Flash Cards, USB Hard Drive, or USB dongles, which can then be viewed from a
personal computer, a DVD player, or from the SDC Ultra itself.
The SDC Ultra records images on a built-in hard drive, where they can be easily
accessed after the surgical procedure. The images stored on the hard drive can
be named and burned to a CD or DVD through a touch-screen control panel
located on the front of the unit.
In addition to the touch-screen control panel, the SDC Ultra can be controlled by
a hand-held remote control, buttons located on the surgical camera head, or the
SIDNE voice-activation system.

Setup
Stryker Endoscopy considers instructional training an integral part of the SDC
Ultra system. Your Stryker Endoscopy sales representative will perform at
least one in-service at your convenience to help you set up your equipment and
instruct you and your staff on its operation and maintenance. Please contact
your local Stryker Endoscopy representative to schedule an in-service after your
equipment has arrived.
1. Choose a location for the SDC Ultra.
Place the SDC Ultra on a Stryker cart or other sturdy
platform.
Provide at least four to six inches of space around the sides
and top of the SDC Ultra to ensure proper ventilation.
Warning

RF and other mobile communications equipment may affect

the normal function of the SDC Ultra. When placing the SDC
Ultra, follow the instructions located in the Electromagnetic
Compatibility section of this manual.

2. Connect peripheral devices according to the interconnection diagram

on the following pages.
Warning

10

When the SDC Ultra is interconnected with other electrical

devices, leakage currents may be additive, resulting in
electromagnetic emissions that can interfere with the normal
function of electronic medical equipment. To properly control
electromagnetic emissions and avoid potential harm to the
patient or user, ensure all electrical devices are installed and
interconnected according to the requirements of IEC 60601-11.

Warning

Note

The printer must be properly connected to the isolation

transformer prior to use. Failure to do so may result in a higher
leakage current for the printer.

See the Technical Specifications for approved printers and

transformers.

3. Connect the AC power.

Connect the provided power cord to the AC inlet on the rear
console panel.
Connect the other end to a hospital-grade power outlet.
Warning

Do not use extension cords or three-prong to two-prong adapters

when connecting the AC power.

Warning

Check the power cord assembly periodically for damaged

insulation or connectors.

Setting up the SDC Ultra with the 1188 Camera and SIDNE

Caution

12

The other ports not listed in this section are intended for use by
service technicians or for future device upgrades. Do not connect
any devices to these ports as unexpected results may occur.

SDC Ultra Networking

Protocol Used: FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
Setup Requirements
1. A TCP/IP network with DHCP service. SDC Ultra is basically a Win
Embedded XP machine. It sends out a DHCP query to request an IP
address.
2. An FTP service running with anonymous login enabled.
3. A Secure FTP server needs to be installed and configured in the same
way as the other FTP server.
Instructions
1. Enter the IP address of the FTP server (and not the SDC Ultra) into the
SDC Ultra Network tab in the Config menu.
2. Create a folder named SDC in the default path of the FTP Server. In
this folder, create a folder for the Username. For example, if you have
anonymous FTP service running on a server with an IP address of
10.2.101.26, and you have a folder called JOHND in the SDC folder
in the default path of the anonymous login, then you should enter
10.2.101.26 in the network tab as the FTP Address and JOHND as the
Username.
3. Press Add so that SDC Ultra will remember the username and the FTP
Address in the list. SDC Ultra can remember up to 20 usernames and
FTP addresses.
4. Select the Write Videos check box on the Network tab if you want to
write videos to the network.
5. To save the images and videos, press the Save to Network button
from the Save menu. A confirmation screen will display. Check the
anonymous login checkbox.
Note

The SDC Ultra checks the server for a response. If it gets a valid
response, it performs an anonymous FTP login. It then changes
directory to the directory corresponding to the current Username
(JOHND, in current example). It does not create a new directory
based on the Username. This avoids creation of multiple directories
if someone accidentally enters a wrong/invalid Username. Therefore,
you have to enter a Username for the FTP to work.

Note

SDC Ultra creates a folder which contains the first five characters of
the patients last name. All the images and videos (if selected) are then
transferred to this folder.

13

For Login with Username and Password:

Note

The FTP server should be setup for the users who have access.
Passwords should be all caps.

1. Create a folder under the root folder of the FTP server folder.
3. Create another folder under the SDC folder with the same name as the
username.
4. Follow steps 3 - 5 above, except in step 5 uncheck the anonymous login
box and enter the password.
Directory Structure:
<Default FTP path>\SDC\Username\?????MMDDYYYY_HHMMSS
where, ?????: First 13 characters of the Patients Name / ID entered
Username: Doctors Username which can be the same as his/her Notematic
ID MMDDYYYY_HHMMSS: Date/Time stamp to guarantee uniqueness
Note

14

If there are any problems writing the data, check if the read/write
permissions of the FTP server are set. Also make sure that the firewall
settings on the server do not block the FTP port.

Electromagnetic Compatibility
Like other electrical medical equipment, SDC Ultra requires special precautions
to ensure electromagnetic compatibility with other electrical medical devices. To
ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), SDC Ultra must be installed and
operated according to the EMC information provided in this manual.
The SDC Ultra has been designed and tested to comply with IEC 60601-1-2:2001
requirements for EMC with other devices.
Caution

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment may affect

the normal function of the SDC Ultra.

Caution

Do not use cables or accessories other than those provided with

the SDC Ultra, as this may result in increased electromagnetic
emissions or decreased immunity to such emissions.

Caution

If the SDC Ultra is used adjacent to or stacked with other

equipment, observe and verify normal operation of the SDC Ultra
in the configuration in which it will be used prior to using it in
a surgical procedure. Consult the tables below for guidance in
placing the SDC Ultra

telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast

fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field
strength in the location in which the SDC Ultra system is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance
level above, the SDC Ultra system should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating
the SDC Ultra unit.
(b) Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 Mhz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Recommended Separation Distances Between Portable and Mobile RF Communications

Equipment and the SDC Ultra System
The SDC Ultra system is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated
RF disturbances are controlled. The user of the SDC Ultra system can help prevent electromagnetic
interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment (transmitters) and the SDC Ultra system as recommended below, according to the
maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation
distance (d) in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the
transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to
the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.
