Quick Reference
Handpiece Maintenance
The following chart lists routine maintenance tasks, when you perform
each task, and the equipment on which you perform them.
Return and Replace the Handpiece
The handpiece has been validated to 50 hours of ultrasonic usage
(i.e. with foot pedal depressed) and 200 procedures. To ensure optimal
performance, it is recommended that you replace the handpiece once it
reaches 50 hours or 200 procedures, whichever comes rst. The tracking
of ultrasonic usage hours and the recommendation to replace the
handpiece are to support patients and users by following the
recommendations outlined in the FDA Guidance Document issued
March 17, 2015, “Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings:
Validation Methods and Labeling” and by complying with applicable
international standards.
To view the hours of use, with the handpiece connected, go to the
Settings screen (see “Settings Screen” on page 4-3).
Integra recommends that you retain a spare, sterile handpiece for every
surgical procedure.
