Duty Cycle; Disposal Of The Equipment - Integra CUSA Clarity Mode D'emploi

WARNING
When the handpiece is powered on, contact of the tip
with a hard surface (for example: a metal instrument,
tray, staples, clips, instruments, and so on) may damage
the tip of the handpiece.
WARNING
Do not use a damaged handpiece with the CUSA Clarity
System. This may result in injury to the patient or user.
WARNING
Touching the tip of the handpiece by the user, while the
handpiece is powered on, may result in personal injury.
WARNING
The minimum aspiration level setting is 10%. This
ensures proper handpiece cooling and performance.
Insufficient aspiration may cause premature handpiece
or tip failures and may induce heat exchange with the
patient or user, and cause tissue burns.
WARNING
When testing the handpiece, do not allow the tip to
come in contact with any person or object during tip
activation. Contact may result in injury to the patient
and/or user, or handpiece tip damage.
Contact with anything may cause the test to fail.
WARNING
Do not power up the handpiece without performing
a prime cycle (that is, irrigation fluid must flow from
the distal tip of the handpiece). Failure to prime the
handpiece could result in permanent damage to the
handpiece (internal and/or external components) and
may induce heat exchange with the patient and/or user,
and cause tissue burns.
WARNING
To ensure sterility, assemble sterile handpiece and tip in
the sterile field only.
Sterilization Information
Supplied non-sterile. The handpiece must be sterilized
before use. Steam sterilization only. Refer to the CUSA
Clarity Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator System Operator's
Manual for the steam sterilization parameters.
MR Safety Information
Refer to the CUSA Clarity Ultrasonic Surgical
Aspirator System Operator's Manual for full
MR safety information.

Disposal of the Equipment

The handpiece is considered electrical equipment
and must be disposed of in accordance with regional
regulation hospital protocols.

Duty Cycle

Under maximum loading conditions, the CUSA
console is suitable for ultrasonics activation times of 10
minutes on, 5 minutes off.
Assembling the Handpiece in the Sterile Field
NOTE:
For information about changing tips in the sterile field,
refer to the "Changing Tips in the Sterile Field During
a Surgical Procedure" section CUSA Clarity Ultrasonic
Surgical Aspirator System Operator's Manual.
For this procedure, use the sterile, disposable torque
wrench (C7601 for the 23 kHz or C7602 for the 36 kHz)
and the torque base (C7623 for the 23 kHz or C7636 for
the 36 kHz).
The 23 kHz torque wrench is color coded gray and the
36kHz torque wrench is color coded red.
WARNING
The handpiece and handpiece accessories (tip, flue,
stylet, and nosecone) must be sterile before surgical
use. Before use, sterilize the torque base in the sterilizer
tray with the handpiece.
Attaching a Tip
