Disposable Handpiece Assembly with Pump Cartridge
The Disposable Handpiece Assembly consists of two main components: the handpiece itself and a pump cartridge to
pressurise the fluid. In addition to these main components, there are three hoses pre-assembled and included in the system.
A bag spike hose allows the fluid from a sterile saline bag to enter the pump cartridge. A high-pressure hose then carries
the pressurised fluid from the cartridge to the handpiece. Finally, the waste hose carries the saline solution and any material
collected at the instrument tip from the handpiece to an appropriate waste container.
The handpiece consists of an ergonomic handle, a small diameter high-pressure tube, and a larger evacuation tube. Near the
end of the high-pressure tube is a small, precise opening which regulates the size and flow of the fluidjet. The end of the
evacuation tube is specifically designed to generate an appropriate vacuum for removal of material while still allowing the
surgeon to visualize the wound being debrided. It also allows the fluidjet to contact tissues and material that should be cut
or ablated. No external vacuum source is required.
In summary, the Disposable Handpiece Assembly controls the flow of sterile saline from the fluid supply bag through the
pump cartridge, where it is pressurised, and then to the handpiece for use at the surgical site. It also ensures removal of
tissue debris from the instrument tip into an appropriate waste container.
Foot Switch with Connector
The Foot Switch is connected to the Power Console through the receptacle on the front panel. It allows the surgeon to activate
the instrument while working in the sterile surgical field. A missing or poorly connected Foot Switch is indicated when the
“pedal” light is illuminated.
Power Cord
The Power Cord provides electrical power to the console from a wall socket.
