It is imperative that the symbols and conventions listed below be clearly understood. The
Universal DrillSaw Battery Charger User’s Guide identifies critical, important, and useful
information using these symbols and conventions.
1.1 Important Safety Conventions
Users of this device are encouraged to contact their Arthrex representative if they
require a more comprehensive surgical technique.
WARNING!
The WARNING! label is the most important safety symbol. It identifies critical
information that must be followed precisely to avoid injury or death.
1. Use this device only for purposes described in the User’s Guide, under the
supervision of a trained and licensed physician. This device should not be used
by untrained personnel or used for indications other than those described in this
User’s Guide.
2. No modification of the charger (AR-400UBC) or accessories are allowed.
3. DO NOT open or attempt to service this system, as this may void your warranty.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Removing the cover may introduce an
electric shock hazard by exposing you to dangerously high voltages or other
risks. If the system malfunctions, return it for service immediately.
4. Misuse, unauthorized assembly and modifications or repairs to the AR-400UBC
system, or non-compliance with these instructions relieves Arthrex of all liability
for claims under warranty or other claims.
5. Use only Arthrex approved accessories. Other accessories may result in
increased emissions or decreased immunity of the system. Contact your Arthrex
representative for a complete list of accessories. DO NOT modify any accessory.
Failure to comply may result in injury to the patient and/or operating room staff.
6. Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics or oxidizing gases such as
nitrous oxide, oxygen, or endogenous gases. All oxygen connections must be
leak free for the duration of the surgical procedure.
7. Only use accessories which are in proper working order. Damaged or improperly
functioning components must be sent in for service before use.
8. Before using the AR-400UBC for the first time, store it at room temperature for 24
hours.
