Piezoelectric System. Ultrasonic handpiece with cutting tips for a broad range of applications.

Intended use The Piezoelectric System distributed by Synthes is an ultrasonic surgical system consisting of handpieces and associated tips for cutting bone and bone substitutes. It can be used for osteotomy, osteoplasty, decorticating, drilling, shaping, and smoothing of bones and teeth in a variety of surgical procedures, including general orthopaedic, otolaryngological, maxillofacial, oral, hand, foot, neurosurgical, spine, and plastic/reconstructive surgery. To maximize the benefits of this device and ensure it has a long working life, read this manual carefully before using the system. Features and benefits Cruise Control™ System – No loss of power regardless of the environment and/or treatment performed – Active only on mineralized tissue, with minimal risk to soft tissue – Minimum pressure required, resulting in higher precision and less hand fatigue for the clinician – Four power setting modes: 3 for bone cutting based on bone density and 1 for soft tissue detachment LED handpiece – Up to 60 watts of power for efficient osteotomies – No heat generation and vibration free, minimizes the risk of necrosis and surgeon discomfort – Six powerful LEDs for enhanced vision at the operative site – Attached cable

– Position the console on a fixed horizontal surface, or one with a slope of no more than 5°. – Check that the power switch is in the OFF position. – Connect the power cord to the receptacle on the back of the console. If necessary, connect the potential equalization connector to the console. – Connect the power cord to a grounded power outlet. – Connect the foot pedal cable to the foot pedal connector on the back of the console. – Position the foot pedal so that it is easily accessible for use. – Insert the irrigation poles into the bracket holders. – Connect the handpiece cable to the connector on the front of the console. The default setting is for the right connector. – Ensure that the console is close enough to the work area to be used without pulling on the cables or power cord. – Place the handpiece on the sterile field.

The pump housings are designed to accommodate Synthes irrigation tubing with cassettes. – Lift the pump cover and insert the irrigation tubing cassette horizontally into the cassette housings. – Insert the sterile spike into the connection on the irrigation bag, taking care to not touch the spike. – Connect the irrigation tubing to the cannulation on the handpiece. Use the sterile clips provided to attach the tubing to the handpiece cable. – Suspend the irrigation bottles or bags from the irrigation poles. – Adjust the position of the console to suit your angle of view. Handpiece function – Thread the selected cutting tip onto the handpiece. Use the Flat Wrench or the Torque Wrench to tighten the tip. Turn the wrench clockwise to tighten. Be careful not to overtighten the tip, which could damage the threads on the tip or the handpiece. When using the Torque Wrench, turn it clockwise until one audible “click” is heard, indicating that the tip is secured with optimum torque. Do not continue to tighten the tip once the click is heard. To remove the tip, turn the wrench counter-clockwise. – Prime the irrigation circuit by pressing the flush/prime button on the console screen or the multifunction foot pedal. – When the irrigation solution reaches the end of the tip, release the foot pedal. – Use the Piezoelectric System in accordance with good medical practices.

Cutting Tips The cutting tips are divided in four categories: – Cutting saw tips – Cutting diamond tips – Cutting scalpel tips – Decorticating tips These cutting tips can be used for osteotomy, osteoplasty, decorticating, drilling, shaping, and smoothing of bones and teeth in a variety of surgical procedures, including general orthopaedic, otolaryngological, maxillofacial, oral, hand, foot, neurosurgical, spine, and plastic/reconstructive surgery. Caution: The tips are specifically designed for the Synthes Piezoelectric System. The system is not compatible with other manufacturer’s tips.

Cutting saw and diamond tips The intended uses of the tips are osteotomy and osteoplasty. Use a “brush-stroke” movement: – Place the tip perpendicular to the surface to be treated 1 – Move the tip with a slow back and forth movement, in line with to the cut 2 – Apply only very slight pressure - never use force NEVER USE THE TIP AS A LEVER: use only the appropriate elevator to lift the bone graft.

90°

Principles of utilization 2

Important: An efficient use of these ultrasonic tips requires very slight pressure to be effective. The power of the Piezoelectric System applied to each cutting tip should be set on the console screen according to the recommended mode, fine tuning and irrigation level. Refer to page 33 for recommended power settings. To avoid any risk of burns or overheating, irrigation must always be switched ON and active when the handpiece is in use. The user shall regularly control the level of irrigation to ensure its coolant action to the tip. A lack of irrigation represents a hazard to the patient. The irrigation level is given as a minimum and must be increased when necessary. Duration of use Cutting tips are provided sterile, for single use only, and can be used continuously, as long as the maximum power and minimum irrigation settings are strictly followed.

Synthes Piezoelectric System User’s Manual

Cutting scalpel tips The intended uses of this tip category are osteotomy, osteoplasty and bone harvesting. Use a repeated, short pulling movement – Apply slight pressure – Never use force – Never use the tip as a lever Decorticating tips The intended use of this tip category is soft tissue decortication. During its use, it is essential to keep contact with the soft tissue and the bone. – Apply slight pressure – Never use force – Never use the tip as a lever

Maintenance

Maintenance/sterilization Important: The device must be switched OFF during reprocessing procedures. Do not use disinfection agents containing flammable substances. Do not sterilize or reuse cutting tips or irrigation tubing. The maintenance and/or sterilization instructions provided in this guide must be applied before each use of the device. Sterilized items must be allowed to dry and cool to room temperature before use. Universal precautions for handling contaminated/biohazardous material should be observed.

The console and foot pedal must always be cleaned after each procedure, using a neutral pH cleaner. Regular monitoring of the Piezoelectric System is necessary in order to detect any problem. Keep the console ventilation vents clean, to avoid abnormal heating. The handpiece and cable can be sterilized in an autoclave. For Minimum Sterilization Requirements refer to page 32. Caution: After multiple uses, and during successive sterilizations, make sure before use that the handpiece-cable assembly is not damaged.

Caution: The tips are specifically designed for the Synthes Piezoelectric System. The system is not compatible with other systems tips.

Irrigation line maintenance Sterile irrigation tubing Caution: The irrigation tubing supplied by Synthes is for single-use only, and must always be discarded after use. Do not resterilize the single-use irrigation tubing. Do not attempt to modify the irrigation tubing. The reuse of the irrigation tubing is a potential hazard to the surgeon, patient and the device.

Device maintenance Important: Never use an abrasive cleaning agent on the console or the foot pedal. Do not use sprays or liquids to clean and disinfect the console. Do not immerse the console or foot pedal. Do not sterilize the console or the foot pedal.

Maintenance

Handpiece maintenance Important: Handpiece must be disassembled prior to cleaning and sterilization. After each use, the handpiece irrigation circuit must be rinsed with distilled or sterile water for a minimum of 20 seconds. Important: Before medical procedures, test the LED to verify the correct positioning of the LED ring on the handpiece. Assembly – Connect the LED ring to the handpiece, making sure it is positioned correctly (align the “+” marks on the LED ring and on the handpiece body near the LED ring electrical contacts). – Insert the light diffuser over the LED ring as shown. – Screw the nose cone onto the handpiece.

Cleaning and disinfection The handpiece must be cleaned and disinfected after each procedure by manual cleaning or automatic washer. For handpiece sterilization, refer to the minimum sterilization requirements for the system (page 32). Note: Cutting tips are provided sterile for single-use only. Do not reuse tips. Cutting tips must always be discarded after use. Do not attempt to modify the cutting tip. The reuse of the tip may lead to the decrease of its performance and proper characteristics. The reuse of the tips is a potential hazard to the surgeon, patient and the device.
