reached its end of life if there is evidence of damage and
wear. This may include but is not limited to corrosion, dis-
coloration, excessive scratches, flaking, wear and cracks.

able markings, missing or removed part numbers, dam-
aged and excessively worn devices should not be used.

Transporting UNIUM™ Power Unit
The Power Unit is classified as a “Li-Ion battery contained
in equipment” according to the International Air Transport
Association (IATA) regulation UN 3481 PI 967. Please en-
sure that the packaging and documentation requirements
for shipping a Power Unit are followed.
Do not store or transport Power Units haphazardly in a
box or drawer where they may short-circuit each other or
be short-circuited by other metal objects. This can dam-
age the Power Unit and generate heat, which can cause
burns. Please refer to the chapter “Environmental Condi-
tions” to see both transport and storage conditions. UN
38.3 Test Report available upon request from the
DePuy Synthes Service Center.
Please note that if the Power Unit is damaged it cannot be
transported by aircraft cargo.
The Power Unit can be considered to be damaged if any
of the following apply:
•
Decreased battery life, e.g. no longer enough to
perform a procedure. A further Power Unit is needed
to complete the operation. This could occur when the
battery is at the end of its expected life.
•
The Power Tool no longer performs as intended e.g.
running too slow. This could be caused by a short
circuit of the battery cells.
•
The Power Unit does not work and cannot be charged
in charger. No LED lights up when pressing the
Information Button of the Power Unit. This could be
caused by damage to the battery cells.
•
The red Service Indicator LED lights up and remains on
for a few seconds on the Power Unit. Either after the
user running the self-test by pressing the Information
Button on the Power Unit as described on page 13 or
lighting up without the user having started the self-test.
This means that the Power Unit is damaged and can no
longer be further used.
•
Whilst charging the Power Unit in the charger, the red
Service Indicator LED lights up on the Power Unit. In
parallel the red LED on the charger lights up as well. In
this case the battery has a failure.
•
The Power Unit is visibly damaged e.g. was mistakenly
steam sterilized by the user and the excessive heat has
melted the Power Unit.
