Problem Possible Solution
Actual graft
thickness varies
from the thickness
guide on the depth
setting
•
Note that the actual thickness of the graft is dependent upon operator technique, the
pressure applied to the hand piece and onto the skin, and the location and condition of
the tissue being harvested. For more information, refer to the Operating Instructions
section.
•
Note that the depth gauge – the mechanism that controls the graft thickness – is set and
calibrated at the factory prior to shipment. Removal of the screws controlling the depth
gauge can affect how the depth gauge performs. If the screws have been removed,
return the system to Exsurco Medical for service and repair.
•
Check the system for any evidence of having been dropped or damaged as this can
affect the operation and calibration of the depth gauge. In this case, return the system
to Exsurco Medical for service and repair.
Variation in graft
thickness is
observed during
the procedure
•
Note that the actual thickness of the graft is dependent upon operator technique, the
pressure applied to the hand piece and onto the skin, and the location and condition of
the tissue being harvested. For more information, refer to the Operating Instructions
section.
•
Check all connections and ensure that the system is assembled correctly and the
disposable excision ring blade is engaged with the pinion to allow free and uniform
movement of the excision ring blade.
•
Check the air connection to ensure the pressure setting is 100 psi with the system
running, allowing the motor to provide continuous operation to the excision ring blade
without interruptions in power. An interruption can cause random bursts of power that
might affect the graft thickness.
•
Verify that the graft site is lubricated with sterile water or sterile mineral oil in order to
decrease any excision ring blade resistance.
•
Check the system for any evidence of having been dropped or damaged as this can
affect the operation and calibration of the depth gauge. In this case, return the system
to Exsurco Medical for service and repair.
Graft quality
•
Verify that the graft site is lubricated with sterile water or sterile mineral oil to
decrease any excision ring blade resistance.
•
Check to make sure there is no debris or defects on the excision ring blade.
