Warnings, Cautions, and Notices
Console Components Warning Ignoring alarms on the CUSA Excel/CUSA Excel+ System while continuing to use the system may result in injury to the patient and/or surgical personnel, or equipment damage. To avoid injury to surgical personnel, keep fingers away from the suction pinch valve. TO AVOID RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, THIS EQUIPMENT MUST ONLY BE CONNECTED TO A SUPPLY MAINS WITH PROTECTIVE EARTH. The power cord on this product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California, USA, to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. The power cord complies with the DIRECTIVE 2011/65/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 8 June 2011on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (recast). When you connect the handpiece to the console, the handpiece becomes a functional surgical device.
Setting Up the System Warning When the handpiece is connected to a CUSA Excel/CUSA Excel+ System that is powered on, but the handpiece is not in use, keep the handpiece away from the patient. Place the handpiece on a sterile, flat, dry, nonconductive, and highly visible surface. Inadvertent contact between handpiece accessories and the patient may result in burns. Do not use a damaged handpiece with the CUSA Excel/CUSA Excel+ System.This may result in injury to the patient or surgical personnel. Ignoring alarms on the CUSA Excel/CUSA Excel+ System while continuing to use the system may result in injury to the patient and/or surgical personnel, or equipment damage. To avoid injury to surgical personnel: When closing the irrigation pump latch, keep fingers away from the area between the V-shaped tubing retainers. If the pump latch is open, keep fingers away from the pump rollers. To avoid injury to surgical personnel, keep fingers away from the suction pinch valve. When you connect the handpiece to the console, the handpiece becomes a functional surgical device. The handpiece and handpiece accessories must be sterile before surgical use.

CUSA® Excel/CUSA® Excel+ Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator System User’s Guide
Warnings, Cautions, and Notices
Warning Touching of the tip of the handpiece by the operator, while the handpiece is powered on, can result in personal injury. When the handpiece is powered on, contact of the tip with a hard surface (e.g. a metal instrument, tray, staples, clips, instruments, etc) may damage the tip of the handpiece and require replacement before use. CUSA Excel tips utilize silicone flues. Compressing the flue against the side of the vibrating surface along the length of the tip can cause excessive heating and potential hazard to adjacent tissue, such as burns. Excessive loading of CUSA Excel tips at the surgical site can induce heating due to vibration and acoustic power transmissions. Thermal management of the surgical site with the aid of the appropriate irrigation and aspiration settings is essential. Avoid excessive lateral loading of CUSA Excel tips. Avoid contacting bone with the CUSA Excel tips (excluding SaberTip™).
Caution When you test the handpiece, do not allow the handpiece tip to contact anyone or anything during tip activation. Contact may result in patient injury, user injury, or handpiece tip damage. During surgery, under maximum loading conditions, the CUSA Excel/CUSA Excel+ console is suitable for ultrasonics activation times of 10 minutes on, 5 minutes off. Sharp edge at the handpiece connection point. Make sure that the irrigation tubing centers between the V-shaped tubing retainers before you close the pump latch. Otherwise, the pump latch will pinch the tubing, preventing the flow of irrigation fluid. Before surgery, apply the brakes locks to all wheels on the console to stop the wheels from rolling. Notice To prevent fluid flowing into the vacuum line, only use a canister that has a nonreturn valve. During surgery, do not allow the handpiece tip to touch metal objects such as staples, clips, instruments, etc. Handpiece tip damage will result.

Warnings, Cautions, and Notices
Using the Console Controls Warning Ignoring alarms on the CUSA Excel/CUSA Excel+ System while continuing to use the system may result in injury to the patient and/or surgical personnel, or equipment damage.
Handpiece Components Warning Do not use the sterile wrench for more than one surgical procedure.
Assembling the Handpiece in a Nonsterile Area Warning Turning the torque wrench further clockwise will damage the handpiece. Caution Do not assemble the nonecone to the handpiece until you have sterilized the handpiece. To avoid product damage, NEVER hold the handpiece in your hand while using the torque wrench to tighten or loosen the tip. Notice Do not sterilize the C5600 tip torquing base or the associated the torque wrench because it destroys the lubrication in the torquing mechanism, resulting in product damage.
Completing Handpiece Setup in the Sterile Field Notice Retaining a spare handpiece in the sterile field is highly recommended.
Assembling or Changing Tips in the Sterile Field Warning The handpiece and handpiece accessories must be sterile before surgical use. Before use, sterilize the sterilizable torque base in the sterilizer tray. Turning the torque wrench further clockwise will damage the handpiece. Caution To avoid product damage, NEVER hold the handpiece in your hand while using the torque wrench to tighten or loosen the tip.

Warnings, Cautions, and Notices
Shutting Down, Disconnecting and Cleaning the System Warning Electric Shock Hazard – Always unplug the CUSA Excel/CUSA Excel+ System before cleaning it. Sharp edge at the handpiece connection point. Notice Do not disconnect the handpiece until the control panel goes completely blank. Otherwise, product damage may result. Do not rub, press, or touch any panels with solvents; caustic, corrosive, or abrasive cleaning or disinfectant compounds, or other materials that could scratch the panels. Do not use a betadine-based solution because it will cause discoloration. Do not allow fluids to enter the console.
Disassembling Handpieces Caution To avoid product damage, NEVER hold the handpiece in your hand while using the torque wrench to tighten or loosen the tip. Product damage will result if you do not follow these notices when cleaning the handpiece: Do not immerse the handpiece cable electrical connector in liquid Do not use ultrasonic washers Do not use chlorinated substances such as bleach solution Do not clean the handpiece with abrasives such as Ajax®, Comet®, or steel wool Product damage will result if you do not follow these notices when cleaning the Tip Torquing Set: Do not use ultrasonic washers Do not autoclave Do not use chlorinated substances such as bleach solution Do not clean with abrasives such as Ajax, Comet, or steel wool
Maintaining the System Notice Do not clean the sterilizer case with abrasives. Product damage will result.
