After soaking the Cannula, while immersed in the cleaning solution, brush the outer surface for a minimum of 2 minutes using a bristled brush, (such as Sklar® 10-1650), to remove visible soil and contaminants from the distal fenestrations and the exterior of the Cannula. Remove the Cannula from the cleaning solution and thoroughly rinse under running tap water for a minimum of 1 minute. Prepare an ultrasonic bath of filtered water. Immerse the Cannula in the ultrasonic bath and sonicate for a minimum of 5 minutes. Remove the Cannula from the ultrasonic bath and use a syringe to flush the lumen of the Cannula with 60mL of filtered water a minimum of 3 times. Load the device into a washer-disinfector.

5. Drying Thoroughly dry the exterior of the Cannula with a clean, lint-free cloth and dry the lumen with filtered compressed air. 6. Maintenance and Inspection a. Using 10x-15x magnification inspect the Cannula to ensure that all visible soil and contaminants have been removed. Repeat the cleaning process if soil or contaminants are found. b. Visually inspect for defects or wear. NOTE:
If there is concern that the functionality of the device may be compromised, please contact MicroAire.
MULTI-USE CANNULA STERILIZATION 1. Packaging Once cleaned and inspected, wrap the dry Cannula individually in a standard FDA cleared medical grade steam sterilization wrap (such as Cardinal Health® Convertors® Bio-Shield® Sterilization Wraps - supplier part #4040). The wrap must be large enough to contain the instrument without stressing the packaging. Alternatively, the Cannulas can be loaded in top portion of REF PAL-500 Sterilization Tray. See Diagram 2 for proper loading of the tray:

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The PAL-650 is a powered surgical instrument that vibrates a cannula used in aesthetic body contouring procedures. It is powered by a MicroAire 5020 Electric Instrument Control Console which provides IEC60601-1 Type BF isolated control signals to the PAL650 via the 5006-PAL Instrument Cable. The user can command the PAL-650 to ON or STAND-BY via a slider switch located on the instrument. The PAL-650 and the 5006-PAL cable are multi-use. The Cannula come in variety of styles as both single-use and multi-use items. The PAL-1200 single-use Aspiration tubing connects the Cannula to a collection canister and vacuum source.

DISPOSAL In accordance with the 2002/96/EC Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the WEEE Directive) and the current national provisions, the organization of the transfer of these wastes for devices sold by MANUFACTURER shall be undertaken by DISTRIBUTOR. For this reason, DISTRIBUTOR shall organize a system for the collection, storage and arrange transfer of any and all WEEE components to a Manufacturer’s approved WEEE collection facility in Europe. DISTRIBUTOR shall provide on request to MANUFACTURER, the proof of compliance with the European and national provisions regarding the WEEE Directive.

SERVICE AND REPAIR INFORMATION IN HOSPITAL SERVICE All MicroAire power equipment should be inspected and tested periodically in accordance with the facility’s bioengineering policy. Such service should be documented within the bioengineering department. Repairs or alterations to MicroAire products made by anyone other than MicroAire or an Authorized MicroAire Repair Facility will void that product’s warranty. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CAUTION:
DO NOT lubricate or oil the PAL Handpiece. Lubrication may damage the internal motor mechanism. Also take special precautions to avoid the use of cleaners that contain lubricants.
Because of the stressful nature of surgical use, decontamination, and sterilization, MicroAire recommends that the PAL System (PAL-650 Handpiece, 5006-PAL Cable and 5020 Console) be returned to the factory for routine inspection and service at least once a year. TIPS FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE NOTE:
The most common cause for repair of the PAL Handpiece is improper use of the Washer Disinfector Cap (REF CAP-600E) and provided cable caps.
1. CAP the Cable and PAL Handpiece during cleaning to prevent liquid from entering the device. For manual cleaning, use either the Washer Disinfector Cap or keep the Cable plugged into the PAL Handpiece. For automated cleaning, only use the Washer Disinfector Cap to cap the PAL Handpiece connector. 2. UNCAP the Cable and the PAL Handpiece during sterilization to allow steam to penetrate the device. 3. DRY the devices completely using the dry cycle after sterilization to remove all moisture from within the device. Failure to do so may cause corrosion on the pins and within the motor. 14

TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Difficulty attaching the Cable Align connectors and receptacles carefully. Ensure the white dot is facing upward when connecting the Cable to the Console. Ensure the red dot on the Cable is aligned with the matching red dot on the PAL Handpiece. Never force the cable into a receptacle because this can bend the pins. 2.
The Handpiece will not start a. Check that the Console is plugged in, turned on, and the touchscreen is indicating a connection to the PAL Handpiece. b. Check the pins in the Cable and the PAL Handpiece to see if they are bent or corroded. c. If the PAL Handpiece does not start, the problem could be in the Handpiece, the Cable or the Console. Return all three system components to MicroAire for a proper diagnosis. d. Note the error number of any error messages that appear on the REF 5020.
