Shutting Down the CUSA EXcel System
Handpiece Components
Caution
To avoid injury to surgical personnel, keep fingers away from the suction pinch
valve.
While testing, do not allow the handpiece tip to contact anyone or anything during
tip activation. Contact may result in patient injury, user injury, or handpiece tip
damage.
Notice
Make sure that the irrigation tubing is centered between the V-shaped tubing
retainers before you close the pump latch. Otherwise, the pump latch will pinch
the tubing, preventing the flow of irrigation fluid.
During surgery, do not allow the handpiece tip to touch metal objects such as
staples, clips, instruments, etc. Handpiece tip damage will result.
Warning
Electric Shock Hazard – Always unplug the CUSA EXcel system before cleaning.
Notice
Do not disconnect the handpiece until the control panel goes completely blank.
Otherwise, product damage may result.
Do not rub, press, or touch any panels with solvents; caustic, corrosive, or
abrasive cleaning or disinfectant compounds; or other materials that could
scratch the panels. Do not use a betadine-based solution; it will cause
discoloration.
Do not allow fluids to enter the chassis.
Notice
Do not sterilize the tip torquing base or the torque wrench with steam. Steam
destroys the lubrication in the torquing mechanism, resulting in product damage.
