7 Installation and Set-Up
To disconnect the Handpiece from the Fiber Optic Cable (Figure 7.3):
1. Take the Handpiece body in one hand and the shaft in the other,
2. Pushing the two buttons on the fiber shaft,
3. Gently pull the Handpiece by the collar to separate it from the fiber shaft, without twisting.
7.4 SINGLE-USE TIPS
The Tips are single-use accessories and are provided in three core diameters: 200μm, 300μm, and
400μm, and in different lengths (see Appendix A).
7.3 SURGICAL HANDPIECE ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Tips are single-use only to avoid cross-contamination and are designed to
withstand only a single sterilization cycle; they must be disposed of after use in a
biohazard medical waste sharps container. Always visually inspect the Tip prior to use
to make sure it is free of debris or damage.
To connect the Tip, remove the protective cap from the end of the fiber shaft, connect the Handpiece
to the Fiber, then insert the tip firmly into the distal end of the Handpiece as far as it will go and
tighten by turning clockwise (Figure 7.4). Bend the metal cannula according the specific procedure
requirements (Figure 7.7).
Remove the fiber Tip by twisting the Tip counterclockwise (Figure 7.5).
