CUSA® Excel 23 kHz Handpiece/
Extended Life Tip Maintenance Kit
C0023
Maintenance kits available in dispenser packs of 35.
Introduction
This maintenance kit maintains the reliability of
the handpiece connecting body and tip. You can
prolong the life of the handpiece by avoiding direct
contact with metal instruments or bone and by
making proper use of a maintenance kit whenever
you observe pitting on the connecting body or tip.
The following instructions describe the process
of preparing the connecting body and tip surfaces
for reuse.
You can use the maintenance kit with all 23 kHz
CUSA® Excel handpieces and extended life tips.
All items in this pack are for single use only.
They contain no latex.
Refer to your user’s guide for further assembly,
disassembly, and cleaning instructions for CUSA®
Excel handpieces and tips.
Preparing to Clean
1. After a surgical procedure using a CUSA® Excel
handpiece, remove the flue and other disposable
components. Then remove the extended life tip
from the handpiece.
2. Clean all handpiece components according to
hospital policy. (For more information, refer to
your user’s guide.)
3. Open the maintenance kit, and remove
all contents: 1 small brush, 1 large brush, 1
refurbishing tool, 2 nonlinting swabs, and an
instruction sheet.
Clean the Inside of the Tip and Female
Threads
1. Insert the long slender brush completely through
both ends of the tip.
2. Insert the curved handle brush into connecting
body threads. When inserting the brush, turn
it clockwise. When extracting the brush, turn it
counterclockwise.
Refurbish Connecting Surfaces
Use the refurbishing tool to polish all connecting
surfaces of the connecting body and tip.
Caution
Improper use of the refurbishing tool may reduce
the effectiveness of the handpiece.
1. Place the threaded end of the tip into the hole on
the flat side of the refurbishing tool.
2. Place the tool between the surfaces to be
polished. Lightly screw the tip, with the tool,
into the connecting body.
3. Use one hand to hold the connecting body and
the other to hold the tip. Rotate the tool with
your index finger and thumb.
4. Turn the tool clockwise to tighten it; counter-
clockwise to loosen it. Repeat this cycle several
times. This procedure cleans both surfaces
simultaneously.
5. Whenever you observe pitting on the connecting
body or tip, perform Steps 1-4 above.
