Short Overview

The ECHELON™ 3000 and ECHELON ENDOPATH™ families of staplers and reloads are intended for transection, resection, and/or creation of anastomoses.

The ECHELON™ 3000 45 mm and 60 mm Staplers are sterile, single-patient-use instruments that simultaneously cut and staple tissue. There are six staggered rows of staples, three on either side of the cut line.

The ECHELON™ 3000 45 mm Staplers have a staple line that is approximately 45 mm long and a cut line that is approximately 42 mm long. The shaft can rotate freely in both directions and an articulation mechanism enables the distal portion of the shaft to pivot to facilitate lateral access to the operative site.

ECHELON™ 3000 60 mm Staplers have a staple line that is approximately 60 mm long and a cut line that is approximately 57 mm long. The shaft can rotate freely in both directions and an articulation mechanism enables the distal portion of the shaft to pivot to facilitate lateral access to the operative site.

The instruments are packaged with a primary lithium Battery Pack that must be installed prior to use. There are specific requirements for disposing of the Battery Pack. Refer to the Battery Pack Disposal section.

The instruments are packaged without a reload and must be loaded prior to use. Do not load the instrument more than 12 times for a maximum of 12 firings per instrument. The use of the instrument with staple line reinforcement material may reduce the maximum number of firings.
