1. Device name
1) Device name:
PALABOWL
®
Bone Cement Mixing System
2) Type:
CL006-01
3) REF: 5050166
2. Indications
1) The Bone Cement Mixing System is for mixing of the bone
cement powder and liquid monomer.
2) This device can mix up to three units (total 120 g powder)
of bone cement of any viscosity.
3. Working principles
The Bone Cement Mixing System’s rotating axis paddle allows
for a thorough cement mix of all angles without unmixed
powder collecting at the edges of the bowl. While mixing,
vacuum removes air via a filter from the bowl to reduce
porosity of the cement and cement fume.
4. Specification
1) Mixing bowl size (ID×H): 106mm × 72 mm; Vacuum hose
size (length): 2.4 m.
2) Net weight: Not more than 0.3 kg.
3) Air tightness: There is no leak under negative pressure
75 kPa ± 1k Pa.
4) Vacuum hose: The vacuum hose shall not shrink under
negative pressure 75 kPa ± 1 kPa.
5) Mixing paddle: The Mixing paddle can rotate freely under
negative pressure 75 kPa± 1 kPa.
6) Sterilization: Sterilized using ethylene oxide before
delivery.
7) Valid period: Two years.
8) The maximum allowable negative pressure value during
operating: 73 kPa (550 mmHg).
9) To reach the negative pressure value 73 kPa (550 mmHg)
needed time: about 25 s.
5. Components
1) This device consists of
Vacuum
Mixing bowl, Mixing
paddle, Spatula, Curette, Vacuum hose
and
Rotating
handle
.
2) Associated devices: The

included in this device but prepared by the hospital.
The bone cement must be prepared according to the
instructions for use provided by the bone cement
manufacturer.
3) The Vacuum extractor is not included in this device, but
prepared by the hospital. The negative pressure within the
range of 5 kPa to 75 kPa shall be adjustable.
4) This device is sterilized using ethylene oxide before
delivery. Sterilization validity is two years.
5) This device is for single patient use only. Do not reuse and
do not re-sterilize.
6) Follow current local/national regulations to properly
dispose the device after use.
7) During transportation of this device, prevent severe shock,
vibration, rain/snow, direct sunlight, moist and pressure.
8) This device should be stored in a non-corrosive, cool, dry,
