1.8.3 Tubing Sets
Several tubing sets are available for use with the Advantage and E9000 Systems. Two are used with
the CoolFlex High Speed Drill to provide handpiece cooling and/or surgical site irrigation. One is
used to provide irrigation for shaver blades. One is used for all Group 2 MicroChoice Drills and
Saws, except the Modular Handpiece (5020-027).
Tubing sets contain the phthalate plasticizer DEHP, which may leach into the patient during
administration of irrigant. Animal studies have shown that high-level exposure to DEHP may
affect male fertility and reproductive development; these findings have not been confirmed in
clinical studies. In determining use of this device in a child, or a pregnant or nursing female, the
clinical benefits should outweigh any potential risk to the infant.
Tubing sets are latex free.
Tubing sets are one-time use only. Properly dispose of tubing sets after use.
The ability to effectively clean and re-sterilize this single use device has not been established
and subsequent re-use many adversely affect the performance, safety and/or sterility of the
device.
