Precautions
A thorough, manual cleaning process as detailed in the Cleaning and
Decontamination section is recommended for the Dermatome Model SB. The
Dermatome motor housing cannot be immersed in liquid cleaners, which would
occur in an automated process. Automated cleaning methods may not be effective
and may result in damage and reduced performance of the device.
DO NOT
auto clave power supply or power supply cord which interconnects the
power supply with the wall receptacle. Damage and reduced performance of the
device may result.
EMC Caution:
Care should be taken if the equipment is used adjacent to or stacked
with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is inevitable, the equipment should
be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
The Model SB incorporates sealing devices used to prevent moisture from
entering the hand piece. One or more of these sealing devices can be damaged if
disassembled and reassembled. Refer servicing to an authorized Integra Padgett
Dermatome Repair Center.
