Please proceed as follows for proper disassembly
of the handpieces.
Ultrasound Lithotripsy Mode
At the end of the procedure disconnect the Vario Ultrasound Handpiece
from the control unit and attach the sterilization cap to the end of the
hose. Also remove the suction tubing from the pinch valve, disconnect
the suction tubing from the Stone Catcher device, and disconnect the
Stone Catcher device tubing from the Vario handpiece.
Remove the Stone Catcher device cap with the tubing and replace with
the Yellow protective cap so stones can be sent for analysis. Dispose
of the remaining Stone Catcher device parts per hospital protocol.
Disconnect the Ultrasound Probe from the Vario Handpiece using the
5mm wrench. If the probe has become too tight during the course of the
procedure then disconnect the distal protective cap by screwing counter
clockwise. Then use the 8 mm wrench to provide counter tension to
allow the probe to be loosened and removed. Disconnect the straight
suction connector from the back end of the Vario Handpiece.
Always ensure the protective sterilization cap is on the end of the hose
before reprocessing.
Pneumatic Lithotripsy Mode
At the end of the procedure disconnect the Pneumatic Handpiece from
the control unit and attach the sterilization cap to the end of the hose.
Disconnect the Pneumatic Probe from the Pneumatic Handpiece by
applying slight axial pressure and turning the handpiece ¼ turn counter
clockwise. Dispose of the probes after use.
Never disconnect the air supply tubing from the Pneumatic
Handpiece for reprocessing. Always ensure the protective sterilization
cap is on the end of the hose before reprocessing.

Combination Ultrasound and Pneumatic Lithotripsy
Mode
At the end of the procedure disconnect both the Pneumatic Handpiece
and the Vario Handpiece from the control unit and attach the sterilization
cap to the end of each hose.
Disconnect the Stone Catcher device tubing from the Vario handpiece.
Remove the Stone Catcher device cap with the tubing and replace
with the Yellow protective cap so stones can be sent for analysis.
Disconnect the Pneumatic Probe from the handpiece by applying slight
axial pressure and turning the handpiece ¼ turn counter clockwise.
Dispose of the remaining Stone Catcher device parts per hospital
protocol.
Unscrew the Pneumatic Probe from the Vario Handpiece and dispose
of. Do not disconnect the air supply tubing from the Pneumatic
Handpiece for reprocessing.
Disconnect the Ultrasound Probe from the Vario Handpiece using the
5mm wrench. If the probe has become too tight during the course of
the procedure then disconnect the distal protective cap by screwing
counter clockwise. Then use the 8 mm wrench to provide counter
tension to allow the probe to be loosened and removed. Disconnect the
angled suction connector from the back end of the Vario Handpiece.
Never disconnect the air supply tubing from the Pneumatic
Handpiece for reprocessing. Always ensure the protective sterilization
cap is on the end of the hose before reprocessing. Handpiece damage
will occur if moisture enters the handpiece interior.
