Dismantling the System After Surgery
After an operative procedure, dismantle the system and prepare it for
storage.
1.
If the same settings used during the operation may be required for future
use, use the
preset
feature to save them (see page 70).
2.
Remove the handpiece from the operating area and flush it by aspirating
at least 100 ml of isotonic fluid. Note that the residue from the intravenous
fluid container usually provides a convenient source of fluid.
3.
Remove the hose clips from the handpiece cable.
4. Disconnect the tubing set from the handpiece.
5. Disconnect the contamination guard tubing from the vacuum port of the
canister.
6.
Remove the intravenous fluid container from the tubing set and discard.
7.
Remove the irrigation tube from the peristaltic pump, the aspiration tube
from the pinch valve and the aspiration filter from the Console. If using a
disposable liner, remove it from the suction canister and discard together
with the entire tubing set. If using a hard canister, discard it with entire
tubing kit.
Notice
The handpiece and the initially pre-packaged non-sterile tip and flue(s) are
supplied non-sterile and must be disassembled and sterilized before use.
Warning
To avoid injury to surgical personnel, keep fingers away from the pump valve
