1. Visually inspect all dermatome components for signs of physical
damage including loose parts, part distortion, rough edges, and areas of
discoloration.
2. Check the oscillating pin calibration (see Calibration section).
3. Check fit of all dermatome cables. Connect dermatome hand piece cord
between dermatome hand piece and power supply. Connect wall power
cord to power supply. All cable connectors are to fit properly with their
mating receptacles.
4. Connect power supply power cord to wall receptacle and turn power supply
switch on. The indicator light on the power supply is to illuminate.
5. Depress thumb-switch on dermatome hand piece. Dermatome motor is
to run and oscillating pin is to move rapidly from side to side. Note any
unusual motor sounds.
If issues are experienced with any of these system checks, do not use the dermatome
and return the unit to the Integra Padgett Dermatome Service Center for service (see
Maintenance and Servicing section).
