Preparing the CUSA NXT System for Surgery
Caution
Pressing and releasing the Power pedal too quickly may result in a Handpiece
Tip Initialization failure. If this occurs, disconnect the handpiece, verify proper
tip assembly, and then reconnect the handpiece and try again.
Do not store anything in the storage area in the back of the Console while the
system is running.
Notice
After releasing the Power pedal, the pinch valve operates momentarily to block
aspiration and facilitate tissue release from the handpiece tip.
If you press the yellow symbol, the touch screen monitor will display error and
problem resolution information. For more information on responding to alarms,
see page 84.
The level of ultrasonic power displayed on the scale will only be directed to the
handpiece tip when the
power Footswitch pedal is pressed fully. Pressing this
Footswitch pedal partially will give an actual power output below the setting
displayed with the exact value depending on the pedal position.
Note that the system only delivers irrigant to the handpiece tip when you press
the
Power Footswitch pedal. When you press the Fast Flush Footswitch
pedal, the system ignores the irrigation scale setting and instead applies an
irrigation fast flush rate of about 50 ml/min to the handpiece.
Only the Console is shipped with a power cord. If a Service Module is
employed, this cord must be used for the Service Module instead. A lead comes
from the rear door of the Service Module and plugs into the back of the
Console.
Warning
Single Use devices are for single patient use only. Do not resterilize, reprocess
or re-use. Devices (s) is (are) intended to be used for one procedure only. If
reprocessed or re-used this may result in the infection of patient (or patient
specimen) through cross-contamination, as well as would incur the risk of
modifying the properties and performance of the device, and of increasing the
likelihood of complications and/or undesirable effects. Do not use devices which
have not been properly sterilized. Once used, devices must be disposed of in
accordance with hospital policies.
Using the incorrect wrench set to assemble/disassemble the handpiece may
damage the handpiece.
Failure to center the shroud may cause the handpiece to overheat.
