3.0 HANDPIECE OPERATION
PRECAUTION: When operating
shaver blades or burs in any Group 3
handpiece (reference “3.9 Group 3
Handpiece Operation” on page 98) the shaver
handpiece suction port valve must be in the
open or ON position, and the shaver blade or
bur must be within the distention fluid of the
joint. Otherwise, damage to the blade hub or
bur hub will result.
Warning: When not in use and prior
to connecting or removing
attachments and accessories, always
place the handpiece in its safe, or off position,
if applicable.
NOTES:
1. If a levered handpiece (5020-021, -022,
-023, -024, -025) is placed on a magnetic
drape, the controller may display
“MAGNETIC FIELD”. The handpiece
will be inoperable until the magnet and
handpiece are separated. Once
separated, the controller will reset after
three (3) seconds.
If a levered handpiece is being used on
the Power
Pro controller or in Port 3 of
the Advantage controller, and switch 5 is
set to Graphical Display mode, the
controller will display:
2. Operation of a drill (5020-021, -025, -026,
CoolFlex) without a bur locked in place
is considered a failure mode. If the
handpiece is activated for several
seconds without a bur in place, the
controller will display “STALL, CHECK
BUR LOCK”. Operation cannot be
initiated until a bur is locked in place and
at least five (5) seconds have elapsed
without the footswitch or handpiece
activation lever (5020-021, -025, -026
only) being depressed.
If the handpiece is being used on the
Power
Pro controller or in Port 3 of the
Advantage controller, (excludes the
CoolFlex Drill), and switch 5 is set to
Graphical Display mode, the controller
will display:
3. If the “STALL, CHECK BUR LOCK”
message displays upon initial activation
of the CoolFlex Drill while a bur is
locked in place, this may indicate that the
drill was not cleaned correctly and the
bearings are locked due to debris build-
up. To correct the problem, perform the
following:
(a) Disconnect the handpiece from the
controller.
(b) Rotate the bur in the handpiece with
your fingers until the bur spins
freely.
(c) If the message still displays when the
handpiece is activated with the
footswitch, return the handpiece and
bur guard to ConMed Linvatec for
service.
