Use of System in MRI Environments
Electric Shock Hazard – Always unplug the CUSA NXT System before cleaning
it.
Do not allow fluids to enter the Console or Service Module.
Caution
Validation of the steam cycles described have been conducted, however, it is
solely the decision of the hospital to approve the use of these cycles.
Notice
Do not remove the aspiration filter from the designated port prior to powering off
the system.
Do not re-use the tubing kit as this compromises sterility and may lead to
damage of the Console and/or Service Module.
Do not remove the contamination guard situated in the receptacle bay at the
front of the Service Module.
When dismantling and assembling handpieces of different operating
frequencies (24 kHz or 35 kHz), care should be taken to ensure that the correct
tips are fitted to the correct handle section. This is achieved by following the
color coding, bronze for 24 kHz and gold for 35 kHz. Incorrectly fitted
handpieces will either be non-functional or may not perform as intended.
If you are using either a straight or laparoscopic handpiece, the angled
extension is not required.
Product damage will result if you do not follow these notices when cleaning the
handpiece:
•
Do not immerse the handpiece cable electrical connector in liquid.
•
Do not use ultrasonic or automatic washers.
•
Do not use chlorinated substances such as bleach solution.
•
Do not clean the handpiece with abrasive cleaners or steel wire wool.
