SHAVER SYSTEM
5.3.1. hANDPIECE WITh AUTOMATIC RECEIvING RING Of ThE ShAvER BlADES
Please adhere to the following steps when locking the shaver blades into the Handpiece:
• Insert the shaver blade into the opening of the Handpiece until you can feel resistance. The shaver blade is properly
engaged when you can hear a clearly audible sound and the instrument cannot be removed, even by pulling.
• To remove the shaver blade, turn the receiving ring (20) of the Handpiece in anti-clockwise direction, which automatically
releases the shaver blade. Remove the shaver blade above the operating table only. Hold the Handpiece in upright position
to avoid uncontrolled ejection.
• We recommend to work at an appropriate speed, depending on the type of used shaver blade. For information on the
respective maximum speeds, please refer to the instructions for use provided with the shaver blades.
• The tube of the vacuum pump in the operating theatre is connected to the aspiration port (23) to ensure proper drainage
of the saline solution containing tissue residues.
• The Handpiece can be used by both left and right handed operators. It is essential to make sure that the valve control (21)
on the Handpiece faces upwards at all times so that it is always ready for use. When the valve control (21) is switched to its
front position (towards the receiving ring (20), the drainage of the contaminated saline solution is reduced to a minimum.
Maximum drainage takes place when the valve control (21) is switched to the rear (i.e. towards the cable (25)). Between
these two positions, the valve is infinitely variable.
5.3.2. hANDPIECE WITh MANUAl RECEIvING RING Of ThE ShAvER BlADES
Please adhere to the following steps when locking the shaver blades into the Handpiece:
• The receiving ring (20) of the Handpiece should be opened (oval cuttings of the lock of receiving ring (20) should be in
vertical position). Insert the shaver blade in such a way that pins, on its sides, come into the cuttings of the socket. Push
until you can feel resistance. Next, the lock of receiving ring (20) should be turned the range of 90°. The shaver blade is
properly engaged when you can hear a clearly audible sound and the instrument cannot be removed, even by pulling.
• These activities should be repeated in adverse order to remove the shaver blade from the socket. Remove the shaver
blade above the operating table only. Hold the Handpiece in upright position to avoid uncontrolled ejection.
• We recommend to work at an appropriate speed, depending on the type of used shaver blade. For information on the
respective maximum speeds, please refer to the instructions for use provided with the shaver blades.

6. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
6.1. GENERAl INfORMATION
The Handpiece must be cleaned, disinfected and sterilized prior to every use. The Control Unit and the Footswitch must
also be cleaned and disinfected, but they do not require sterilization. This also applies to the very first use after delivery,
because all components of the Control Unit are supplied in non-sterile condition and without having been disinfected.
Thorough cleaning and disinfection are essential preconditions for an effective sterilization.
The division/entity in charge of reprocessing has to make sure that:
• validated cleaning, disinfecting and sterilization methods are used,
• the washer /disinfector and the sterilizer are checked and serviced in regular intervals,
• the validated parameters are followed during every reprocessing procedure.
