The KAIRISON pneumatic bone punch is powered by compressed air taken in through the compressed-air connector (supply air) 9 and passed out through the compressed-air connector (exhaust air) 10. The compressed air power is transmitted into the working direction via the accuator lever 15. Moveable slider part 2 is moved forward and the punching action is carried out (in two steps).
Preparation Non-compliance with the following rules will result in complete exclusion of liability on the part of Aesculap.
Start-up Note Use the KAIRISON pneumatic bone punch with authentic Aesculap products only, see Accessories/Spare parts. Observe the operating pressure of at least 7 bar to ensure full cutting performance. Note To insert the shaft, compressed air must be connected and the actuator lever must be in the neutral shaft-insertion position. Note If there is only one compressed-air supply, compressed-air bifurcation adaptor RT035 can be used. In this way the user can avoid having to reconnect the system repeatedly (when a pneumatic motor is used as well). ► Connect Aesculap pneumatic tube 18 to the pressure reducer 17, see Fig. 1. ► Connect Aesculap pneumatic tube 18 to compressed-air wall connector 19. ► Turn safety switch 11 to its OFF position, see Fig. 3. ► Connect single-use tube set 16 to handle 8 and pressure reducer 17. ► Connect compressed-air connector (exhaust air) 10. ► Connect compressed-air connector (supply air) 9. ► Insert the shaft, see Inserting the shaft in the handle. ► Turn safety switch 11 to its ON position, see Fig. 3.

General information Dried or affixed surgical residues can make cleaning more difficult or ineffective and lead to corrosion. Therefore the time interval between application and processing should not exceed 6 h; also, neither fixating pre-cleaning temperatures >45 °C nor fixating disinfecting agents (active ingredient: aldehydes/alcohols) should be used. Excessive measures of neutralizing agents or basic cleaners may result in a chemical attack and/or to fading and the laser marking becoming unreadable visually or by machine for stainless steel. Residues containing chlorine or chlorides e.g. in surgical residues, medicines, saline solutions and in the service water used for cleaning, disinfection and sterilization will cause corrosion damage (pitting, stress corrosion) and result in the destruction of stainless steel products. These must be removed by rinsing thoroughly with demineralized water and then drying. Additional drying, if necessary. Only process chemicals that have been tested and approved (e.g. VAH or FDA approval or CE mark) and which are compatible with the product’s materials according to the chemical manufacturers’ recommendations may be used for processing the product. All the chemical manufacturer's application specifications must be strictly observed. Failure to do so can result in the following problems: ■ Optical changes of materials, e.g. fading or discoloration of titanium or aluminum. For aluminum, the application/process solution only needs to be of pH >8 to cause visible surface changes. ■ Material damage such as corrosion, cracks, fracturing, premature aging or swelling. ► Do not use metal cleaning brushes or other abrasives that would damage the product surfaces and could cause corrosion. ► Further detailed advice on hygienically safe and material-/value-preserving reprocessing can be found at www.ak-i.org, link to Publications, Red Brochure – Proper maintenance of instruments.
Triggering the punch action The tissue/bone can be punched either in two steps or, by skipping the positioning step, in a single punching action: ■ Positioning: Careful application of the cutting edge at the intended punching position, applying only mild force with minimal cutting effect. ■ Punching/Cutting: Forceful punching/cutting of the tissue. ► For the positioning step, gently press actuating lever 12, see Fig. 7 (short arrow). ► For punching/cutting, firmly press actuating lever 12, see Fig. 7 (long arrow).
Detaching the shaft from the handle ► Turn safety switch 11 to its OFF position, see Fig. 3. ► Pull back locking button 7 in the direction of the arrow, see Fig. 8. ► Press down shaft 6 in the direction of the arrow, see Fig. 9. ► Disengage hook 14 of shaft 6 from handle adapter of handle 8 in the direction indicated by the arrow, see
Fig. 10. This completes detaching shaft 6 from the handle.
Disassembling the product before carrying out the reprocessing procedure ► Disassemble system components (tubes, shafts and pressure reducer) immediately after use.
Preparations at the place of use ► If applicable, rinse non-visible surfaces preferably with deionized water, with a disposable syringe for example. ► Remove any visible surgical residues to the extent possible with a damp, lint-free cloth. ► Transport the dry product in a sealed waste container for cleaning and disinfection within 6 hours.
Preparation before cleaning ► Check for debris on the sealing caps; clean if necessary. ► Seal compressed air connector (exhaust air) 10 and compressed-air connector (supply air) 9 at handpiece and
pressure reducer 17 with the sealing caps. ► Dismantle the product prior to cleaning, see Disassembling.

Validated reprocessing procedure General safety instructions Note Adhere to national statutory regulations, national and international standards and directives, and local, clinical hygiene instructions for sterile processing. Note For patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), suspected CJD or possible variants of CJD, observe the relevant national regulations concerning the reprocessing of products. Note Mechanical reprocessing should be favored over manual cleaning as it gives better and more reliable results. Note Successful processing of this medical device can only be ensured if the processing method is first validated. The operator/sterile processing technician is responsible for this. The recommended chemistry was used for validation. Note If there is no final sterilization, then a virucidal disinfectant must be used. Note For the latest information on reprocessing and material compatibility see also the Aesculap extranet at www.extranet.bbraun.com The validated steam sterilization procedure was carried out in the Aesculap sterile container system.
Damage to the product due to inappropriate cleaning/disinfecting agents and/or excessive temperatures! ► Use cleaning and disinfecting agents according to the manufacturer’s instructions which – are approved for plastics (handle), surgical steel (shafts) and aluminum (pressure reducer), – do not attack softeners (e.g. in silicone). ► Observe specifications regarding concentration, temperature and exposure time. ► Do not exceed the maximum permitted cleaning temperature of 55 °C.
CAUTION
Damage to the product/functional failure caused by fluids entering compressedair connector (exhaust air)10/ compressed-air connector (supply air) 9 at the handle and pressure reducer! ► Apply sealing caps.
► Use suitable cleaning/disinfecting agents if the product is put away in a wet condition. To prevent foam forma-
tion and reduced effectiveness of the process chemicals: Prior to mechanical cleaning and disinfection, rinse the product thoroughly with running water. ► Carry out ultrasound cleaning: – as an effective mechanical supplement to manual cleaning/disinfecting. – as a pre-cleaning procedure for products with encrusted residues, in preparation for mechanical cleaning/ disinfecting. – as an integrated mechanical support measure for mechanical cleaning/disinfecting. – for additional cleaning of products with residues left after mechanical cleaning/disinfecting.
