CAUTION!
Reduced cutting performance and wear on the rotary blade/abrader !
If the rotary blade/abrader is pushed against the tissue at high
pressure this will not improve the cutting performance but may ins-
tead cause damage, increased wear and tear on the inner blade/ab-
rader.
.
IMPORTANT!
Quick cooling of a hot motorized handle can cause stresses in the mater-
ial and may lead to failure of the device or a reduced service life.
1.6 Combinations
.
IMPORTANT!
In addition to this instruction manual be sure to follow the instruction manuals of
the products used in combination with this product.
If other products are used in combination with this product, make sure that the
intended uses and relevant technical data (working length, diameter etc.) are the
same.
When using rotary blades/abraders for spinal surgery, ensure that the working
channel of discoscopes and the internal diameter of working sleeves is sufficiently
large. Use instruments with 2.5 mm, 3.5 mm and 4.0 mm diameter through disco-
scopes and instruments with 4.5 mm diameter through suitable working sleeves.
Only suction/aspiration devices and irrigation fluid supply systems that do not
reduce the protection rating ”BF” of the motorized handle in accordance with IEC /
EN 60601 may be used. The user is responsible for selecting a suitable irrigation
fluid.
.
IMPORTANT!
As a result of differing anatomy, it is not possible to quantify irrigation and suction
rates. It is the user’s responsibility to adapt the settings to the requirements.
1.6.1 Potential equalization
The potential equalization cable establishes a direct connection between
a medical electrical device and an equipotential bonding rail.
It serves to equalize differences in potential between enclosures of elec
trical equipment and firmly installed conductive parts in the patient envi
ronment.
