BEFORE OPERATION
Connect the
Zimmer
Tissue Bank Dermatome to its power
supply by inserting the connector plug into the connector
receptacle. (See Fig. 8.) Disconnect the power supply from
the power source before inserting. Remove any kinks or
twists from the cord. Align the connector plug to the
receptacle by rotating the plug while gently pushing inward.
When aligned, push in until the plug clicks into the
receptacle.
To remove the connector plug, pull outward on the outer
collar portion of the plug to separate the plug from the
receptacle.
To replace input fuses, disconnect the power supply from
the power source. Remove the fuse drawer by lifting up on
the tab using a tool and pulling the drawer outward. (See
Fig. 9.) Replace the fuse drawer with the correct fuses
installed. The correct fuse type is listed in the SERVICE
INFORMATION section. The unit is shipped with a 0.25 in.
(6.35 mm) x 1.25 in. (31.75 mm) fuse drawer installed. A
separate fuse drawer is supplied for 0.197 in. (5 mm) x
0.787 in. (20 mm) fuses.
Before connecting the power supply to a power source, be
sure that the switch on the front of the power supply is in
the
OFF (O)
position, and that the safety lock is in the
SAFE
position. Connect to a power source via the "IEC"
connector in the rear of the power supply
Turn power on to the power supply by moving the rocker
switch on the front of the power supply to the
ON (I)
position. The rocker switch should illuminate. Move the
safety lock to the
ON
position and briefly depress the on/off
lever to ensure that power is being applied to the
handpiece, and that the carriage is oscillating. Return the
safety lock to the
SAFE
position.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
The on/off lever must be in the SAFE position before
changing blades when the instrument is not in use, or
when connecting power to the instrument.
Accidental
activation of the instrument during these procedures may
injure the tissue bank personnel.
To avoid any injury, use extreme caution when handling the
blade.
Use extreme caution when handling the dermatome with
the blade installed. Before using, always inspect the cord
for signs of wear or damage. A worn or damaged cord
must be returned for service immediately for continued
safety.
Use only
Zimmer
Tissue Bank Dermatome Blades
(REF 8831-000-10).
Zimmer
Tissue Bank Dermatome
Blades have been specifically designed for use with the
Zimmer
Tissue Bank Dermatome. Other blades will not
fit properly in the dermatome and may cause
deeper grafts than selected.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the power supply in the
OFF (O)
position. Place
the dermatome in the
SAFE
position by sliding the safety
lock on the on/off lever toward the blade end of the
instrument to the
SAFE
position. Only the word
SAFE
should be visible.
2. Choose the proper width plate to satisfy cutting
requirements. Two width plates are supplied: 3 and 4 in.
(7.6, and 10.2 cm).
3. Install the blade. (Refer to Blade Placement diagram,
(Fig. 7.) Use caution when inserting the blade to avoid
nicking it, which may result in an uneven cut. Use a new
sterile blade for each procedure.
a. Place the on/off lever in the
SAFE
position.
b. Using the Zimmer screwdriver (REF 8803), loosen the
width plate screws approximately two turns. DO NOT
remove screws from handpiece.
c. Remove width plate and used blade.
d. Place a new blade onto the carriage.
e. Align the two holes in the blade with the two pins on
the carriage.
f. Place width plate over blade and tighten screws.
4. Control lever adjustment determines graft thickness. (See
Fig. 10.) Factory markings indicate 0.004 in. (0.102 mm)
divisions. Set control knob pointer to desired thickness.
A semi-annual calibration check by an authorized
Zimmer Orthopaedic Surgical Products service center
is recommended to verify continued accuracy.
5. To activate the dermatome, place the power supply in the
ON (I)
position. Lift the on/off lever and slide the safety lock
back to the
ON
position. Depress the on/off lever to start
the motor.
DO NOT run the dermatome without cutting
for an extended time
, as this needlessly wears the blade.
