10. Always inspect for bent, dull or damaged blades or burs before each use. Do
not attempt to straighten or sharpen. Do not use if damaged.
11. After each use, thoroughly clean the handpiece, attachments and accessories.
(Refer to section “3.0 MAINTENANCE”).
12. Do not stall handpieces, damage can occur.
13. Do not handle the handpiece by the cord. Do not pull on the cord to remove
it from the surgical console. Damage can occur.
14. Running the shaver blade or bur without fluid flow (dry) may cause damage
to the handpiece. Failure to do so may cause the bur hubs to melt due to
excessive heat.
15. Direct contact of the rotating cutting edge of shaver blades and burs with
metallic surfaces and/or other hard surfaces such as arthroscopes, cannulas,
or other instruments can cause damage to the devices. If contact does occur,
shaver blades can break, seize, or shed metal particles. Shaver blade or bur
should be examined for damage and replaced if necessary.
16. Do not apply excessive loading on the shaver blade or bur. Cutting
performance is not increased with force. Excessive force or using shaver
blades or burs as a lever can cause damage to the device including
permanent deformation, shedding of metal (wear), motor seizure, and
overheating.
17. If shaver blade clogs, use ConMed Linvatec Declogger (E9315) to declog
shaver blade. Shaver blades or burs may also be declogged by removing the
inner assembly of the shaver blade from the outer assembly and clearing any
tissue from the window or aspiration hole. DO NOT disassemble Prebent
Shaver Blades with catalog number ending in “M” or “MT” (i.e., C9299M
and 42ULT-ZZ-MT).
