WARNING!
Risk of infection or tissue reaction
A collision between the device and another item of equipment may result in
particles falling onto the surgical site.
Pre-position the device before the patient arrives. Move the device carefully
to avoid a collision.
WARNING!
Risk of infection
The sterilisable handles are the only parts of the device that can be sterilised.
Any contact by the sterile team with another surface results in a risk of infec-
tion. Any contact by non-sterile personnel with these handles results in a risk
of infection.
During the procedure, the sterile team must handle the device using the ster-
ilisable handles. On an HLX handle, the locking button is not sterile. Non-
sterile personnel must not come into contact with the sterilisable handles.
