BIOMET GSCC B.V. Hazeldonk 6530 4836 LD Breda The Netherlands
Insert Barcode here INDICATIONS FOR USE The Zimmer Air Dermatome is a skin grafting instrument that is intended to provide variable graft thickness and width capabilities.
Never use standard compressed air with the Zimmer Air Dermatome. Standard compressed air directly from a compressor can contain impurities, oils, and moisture that can damage the dermatome.
DESCRIPTION The Zimmer Air Dermatome (See Fig. 1, 2) is an air-powered surgical skin grafting instrument. The thickness control adjustment ranges from 0 to 0.030 in. (0.75 mm) in 0.002 in. (0.050 mm) increments.
The automatic shut-off valve in the end of the hose permits removal of the hose under pressure. Use care to prevent dirt or debris from entering the end of the handpiece when the handpiece and hose are separated. Never operate the Zimmer Air Dermatome above recommended pressures. Excessive pressure may cause internal damage and exert unusual stress on the hose.
Individual graft widths of 1 in., 1.5 in., 2 in., 3 in. and 4 in. (2.5 cm, 3.8 cm, 5.1 cm, 7.6 cm, 10.2 cm) are obtained with five width plates. (See Fig. 19.) Two stainless steel machine screws secure the plates to the underside of the instrument. The plates are easily fastened and removed with the screwdriver provided.
The user and operating staff must always pay close attention to the CLEANING PRECAUTIONS and CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DERMATOME. Failure to follow these instructions may damage the dermatome.
The dermatome has a self-cooling rotary vane air motor. The motor is powered by waterpumped compressed dry nitrogen (99.97% pure) or by medical-grade compressed air and provides nearly vibration-free power. SPECIFICATIONS I. Physical Weight: Length: Width: Exhaust: II.

RECEIVING INSPECTION After receiving the Zimmer Air Dermatome, examine the unit for external signs of damage. Retain all packing material until the contents have been verified and an initial operational check has been performed. If the device has been damaged, forward an immediate request to the delivering carrier to perform an inspection and prepare a “Concealed Damage” report. The terms of all Zimmer Surgical sales agreements concerning this unit are F.O.B., Dover, Ohio, U.S.A., and the responsibility of Zimmer Surgical ends with delivery to the first carrier. Thereafter, the shipment becomes the property of the customer. Any claims for loss, damage, or non-delivery must be made against the delivering carrier within 10 days of shipment.
POWER SOURCE Nitrogen (Preferred) or medical-grade compressed air: Compressed dry nitrogen is the preferred power source. Where nitrogen is not available, medical-grade compressed air can be used. These gases should meet the following specifications to ensure optimum safety for both patient and instrument: Nitrogen: Nitrogen content: Quality assurance:
Your local Zimmer sales representative may assist you in determining the cost of replacement or repair so that a proper claim may be filed with the delivering carrier.
99.97% pure, dry nitrogen To obtain the quality of gas needed, “water-pumped dry nitrogen or liquid nitrogen, pumped dry” should be specified.
Note: Do not attempt to return damaged goods without first securing proper authorization from the delivering carrier. SETUP INSTRUCTIONS • Prior to initial usage, Zimmer Air Dermatome must be cleaned and sterilized per instructions. (See Cleaning and Sterilization Instructions.) • Observe sterile field precautions per hospital protocol. • Connect the handpiece to the hose by grasping both the swivel on the end of the handpiece and the hose firmly. Push together and twist the hose to the right so that the pins are in the indentations. • When using a pressurized tank, the tank should be thoroughly wiped off with disinfectant and draped prior to placement in the operating room. Always have the tank securely fastened to the wall, a stable cart or some other stationary device to prevent falling and away from sources of heat. • Prior to setup in the operating room, open the tank valve very slowly and allow only enough gas to escape to blow out any debris that may have accumulated in the valve. Stay clear of the opening, behind the tank, during this procedure. Return the valve to the closed position. Install the regulator. • Once the regulator is securely installed, be certain the regulator is in the full OFF position. The tank valve may then be opened slowly until it is fully open. This will allow for the gas to pressurize the regulator. • Never start a procedure if the pressure gauge indicates that there is less than 500 PSI (3450 kPa) in the tank. Never allow the tank pressure to fall below 200 PSI (1380 kPa) or correct output pressure will not be maintained. • Insert the diffuser end of the hose into the quick-disconnect fitting on the regulator. • Activate the dermatome by completely depressing the throttle lever with the safety lock in the ON position. Pressure is established by gradually turning the regulator control knob. Always establish the designated pressure using the pressure gauge with the instrument running. Recommended pressure is 100 PSI running, using supplied hose. When using an extension hose, increase the pressure at the source 1 PSI per foot (22.6 kPa/m) of extension hose. For example, if a 10 foot (3.05 meter) extension hose is added to the standard hose, indicated pressure at the source should be 110 PSI (759kPa) when the dermatome is running. Return the safety lock to the SAFE position, when not in use. • During setup procedure, visually inspect for damage and/or wear. If damage or wear is noted that may compromise the function of the instrument, do not use.
Medical Grade compressed air: Oxygen: 21% ± 0.5% Nitrogen and inert gases: Balance Moisture: 15.0 vpm (max) Note: Use only the supplied air hose or one having a probe conforming to BSI 5682 for highpressure medical-grade compressed air. The Zimmer Air Dermatome should be operated at 100 PSI (690 kPa) for maximum operating efficiency and should be monitored with the operating pressure gauge of the regulator. When using the recommended hose, pressure must be set with the instrument running to avoid excessively low operating pressures. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS To avoid serious injury to the patient and operating staff while the Zimmer Air Dermatome is in use, the user must be thoroughly familiar with its function, application and instructions for use. WARNING: MANUAL CLEANING ONLY-NO AUTOMATIC WASHING To avoid injury, use extreme caution when handling the blade or when handling the dermatome with the blade installed. Use caution when inserting blade to avoid nicking it, which may result in an uneven cut. To avoid blade damage, place dermatome blade side up when not in use. The throttle must be in the SAFE position before changing blades or hoses, or when the instrument is not in use. Accidental activation of the instrument during these procedures may injure the patient or operating staff. To ensure that the instrument is in the SAFE position, the safety lock on the throttle should be toward the blade end of the dermatome and only the word SAFE should be visible. Use only Zimmer® Dermatome Blades (REF 00-8800-000-10). The Zimmer Dermatome Blade has been specifically designed and engineered for use with the Zimmer Air Dermatome. Other blades may not fit properly in the dermatome and may cause serious injury. Use of nonZimmer Dermatome Blades can cause the dermatome to take grafts deeper than what the user has selected. Handle the Zimmer Air Dermatome carefully. Should it be inadvertently dropped or damaged, it should be returned for service. Do not use. Do not use a worn or damaged hose. Under pressure, a severed or broken hose can whip out of control. Be sure the hose is securely fastened to the instrument so that the hose will not fall against a hard surface and become damaged.
Page 1/6
BLADE INSTALLATION (See Fig. 5.) • Use a new sterile blade for each procedure. Use only Zimmer Dermatome Blades (REF 00-8800-000-10). • To install blade: • Place the throttle in the SAFE position. To place the dermatome in the SAFE position, slide the safety lock on the throttle toward the blade end of the instrument to the SAFE position. Only the word SAFE should be visible. • Using a screwdriver, loosen width plate screws approximately two turns. Do not remove screws from handpiece. Refer to BLADE REMOVAL section. • Place a new blade in slot on the handpiece. If replacing a blade, remove the used blade before inserting the new one. • Mate the drive pin with the hole in the blade. Note: “INSERT WITH THIS SIDE UP” message. • Lubrication of the blade is not necessary because the backing of the blade is a selflubricating plastic. • Choose proper width plate to satisfy cutting requirements. Place width plate over blade and tighten screws. Do not overtighten. Ensure the printing on the width plate is facing out. (See Fig. 5)
CLEANING PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS The following instructions and chart detail the cleaning process for the Zimmer Air Dermatome and reusable accessories.
CUTTING THE GRAFT • Skin should be prepared in routine manner. • It is not necessary to lubricate the skin; however, lubricating the donor site with sterile mineral oil may ease travel of the Zimmer Air Dermatome. • Set control lever adjustment knob pointer to desired graft thickness. Factory calibrations indicate 0.002 in. (0.050mm). Do not insert any instrument between the blade and the control lever as this may damage or knick the blade causing a poor cut. Further, it may compromise the calibration of the instrument. (See Fig. 6.) • Hold the handpiece on the donor site at a 30° – 45° angle. (See Fig. 8, 9.) • To activate the dermatome, lift the throttle lever and slide the safety lock back from the SAFE position toward the hose coupling. The word ON should be visible. (See Fig. 7.) For optimum results, it is recommended that the dermatome operate at full speed. To ensure that full speed is achieved, completely depress the throttle control with the safety lock in the ON position. • Depress the throttle to start the cut. Guide the unit forward using a slight downward pressure to ensure that the cutting edge remains continuously firmly in contact with the donor site.
•
Note: the Zimmer Dermatome Blades (REF 00-8800-000-10) are terminally-sterilized, singleuse devices, and therefore are not reuseable and should be safely disposed of after use. • • •
•
• • • • •
• •
Two methods of graft removal from the instrument may be used: • Method I Allow the cut graft to accumulate in the pocket of the handpiece. Lift the handpiece away from the donor site to end the graft. Return the throttle to the SAFE position and carefully remove the graft. (See Fig. 8.) •
•
Method II Use tissue forceps to gently lift the graft as it emerges from the pocket area. Do not stretch or pull the graft as this causes irregular edges and nonuniform cuts. Lift the handpiece away from the donor site to end the graft. Return the throttle to the SAFE position. (See Fig. 9.)
AFTER THE PROCEDURE Before removing the dermatome from the regulator: • Close the tank valve, if applicable. • Turn the regulator knob until the pressure reads zero. • Activate the dermatome to bleed off the line pressure. • Turn quick-disconnect coupling to the right, which disengages the Schrader fitting, then remove the hose from the regulator. The end of the hose should be held securely when disengaging the Schrader fitting to prevent possible damage to the diffuser when the hose is disconnected. • Remove the used blade and dispose of properly in a designated sharps container or per hospital protocol. • Remove excess body fluids and tissue with a disposable, non-shedding wipe and cover with a damp cloth. Body fluids and tissue should not be allowed to dry on instruments prior to cleaning. • Return and secure instrument and width plates to instrument case for transport and cleaning. BLADE REMOVAL • Loosen the width plate screws. Do not remove the screws. • To remove the width plate, hold both sides and lift. Do not lift the width plate from the front as this will cause contact with the blade and possible injury. • Remove the blade carefully lifting from the side. • Dispose of used blade in a sharps container or per hospital protocol. CLEANING PRECAUTIONS All subsequent cleaning and sterilization steps are facilitated by not allowing blood, tissue debris, or disinfectants to dry on used instruments. Handle the Zimmer Air Dermatome carefully. Should it be inadvertently dropped or damaged, it should be returned for service. Refer to NEED TO ADHERE TO CARE REGIMEN section. Do not lubricate the Zimmer Air Dermatome. Lubrication may cause extensive damage to the motor. Never immerse the dermatome in any solution. Some solutions will corrode the metal and delicate moving parts and also break down the internal lubricants. Never immerse the dermatome in liquid chemical disinfectant. Cleaning agents with chlorine or chloride as the active ingredient are corrosive to stainless steel and must not be used. Saline solution has a corrosive effect on stainless steel and should not be used. Do not process the dermatome handpiece or accessories in an automatic washer. Automatic washing has the potential to destroy the surface protective layer of the device and cause corrosion. Never clean in an ultrasonic cleaner. Ultrasonic cleaning will dislodge oil from the bearings and render the instrument inoperative. Ultrasonic cleaning may affect calibration of the Zimmer Air Dermatome. Never sterilize the regulator or immerse it in any solution. Steam sterilize the Zimmer Air Dermatome and accessories (except regulator and single use blades) by following the instructions in STERILIZATION PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS.
Page 2/6
Use caution when handling the dermatome to determine that the used blade has been removed. If not, safely dispose of all used blades in accordance with hospital policy for contaminated waste and sharps. Never let water or detergent enter the handpiece through the hose connection. Permanent damage may result. The hose should be left attached to the handpiece during cleaning. Disconnect before sterilization. (See Fig. 10.) Remove excess body fluids and tissue with a disposable, non-shedding wipe and cover with a damp cloth. The damp cloth is utilized to assist in the prevention of the unremoved soil drying prior to cleaning and disinfection process. Saline, blood, body fluids, tissue, or other organic debris should not be allowed to dry on the instrument prior to cleaning. Universal precautions for handling contaminated/biohazardous materials should be observed. Instruments should be cleaned within 30 minutes of use to minimize the potential for drying prior to cleaning. It is important to select cleaning agents that are intended for the breakdown of blood, body fluids and tissues. Prepare cleaning agents at the use-dilution and temperature recommended by the manufacturer. Always use fresh volumes of water for rinsing. Do not reuse rinsing water for rinsing or any other purpose. Use of hard water should be avoided. Softened tap water may be used for initial rinsing. Purified water should be used for final rinsing to eliminate mineral deposits on instruments (e.g. ultra-filter (UF), reverse-osmosis (RO), deionized (DI), or equivalent). Follow the cleaning instructions found in Chart 1, Validated Manual Cleaning Procedure, for the Dermatome handpiece, width plates, screwdriver, and autoclave case. Follow the cleaning instructions found in Chart 2, Validated Manual Cleaning Procedure for the Air Hose, for the air hose. Following the cleaning procedure, visually inspect for damage and/or wear. Check the action of moving parts to ensure smooth operation throughout the intended range of motion. Note: If damage or wear is noted that may compromise the function of the instrument, do not use. Refer to RETURN AUTHORIZATION AND REPLACEMENT INFORMATION section. Steam sterilize only. Follow instructions in STERILIZATION PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS.
