arise as you become fully familiar with your system.
1.1.1 Update Training Programs
From time-to-time you may feel that you need some update
training for one or more members of your staff. This may be
due to new surgeons or nurses joining your team, or perhaps
you wish to use FreeHand in a new range of endoscopic
procedures. Whatever the reason, just contact your local
representative and he or she will be pleased to arrange a
tailored Update Training Program to meet your needs.
1.2 System Description
FreeHand is an robotic camera controller which is fixed to the
operating table. FreeHand holds the ’scope, providing a rock
steady image throughout the surgical procedure, however long.
Selecting the direction of movement of the ‘scope is effected by
the surgeon through natural head movements, with motion
activated by depressing a Footpedal. FreeHand provides the
full range of ‘scope motion required during the procedure,
including pan, tilt and zoom. Comprehensive safety features
have been built into the design, which have been extensively
tested and certified by independent laboratories.
FreeHandprovides the following benefits for the user:
•Complete personal control of the camera position and
movement, eliminating any communication issues with
assistants, or inconsistencies in the standard of camera
control due to assistants of variable skill levels.
•Provides a rock-steady image, eliminating camera shake
or unnecessary movement, improving the surgeon’s view
and ensuring a stable, comfortable and safe environment.

•Removes the need for camera holding assistant.
