7.5. Inspection

These products are subject to wear when used as intended,
depending on the intensity of use. This wear arises from the
design and construction of the instruments and is
unavoidable.

Replace the product if it shows externally visible defects or
does not function as described in this manual. Please advise
the manufacturer or the manufacturer’s authorized
representative in such cases.

X

After cleaning, visually inspect each of the instruments
and test them for proper operation.

X

Replace any damaged parts.

We recommend that instrument oil not be used on moving or
pivoting parts, such as the pliers handles. Instrument oil may
cause a tendency to swelling in certain plastics and impair
the ease of motion of the instruments.

DANGER

Risk of patient burns with brittle or defective insulation!

X

Replace instrument components with damaged
insulation.

Jaw insert

1. Check the ratchet

B1

for ease of motion.

2. Check the jaw holder

B2

and the cable connector

B3

for

damage and corrosion.
