or deionized water should be used for the final rinse to better remove detergents and
other residues from the rinse water. Excessively hard water can spot or stain instruments.
Excess chlorine in the rinse water can result in pitting. Dry all components with a soft dry
towel.
7. Visual Inspection: Visually inspect the equipment to make sure there is no visible organic
debris or residue from cleaning agent. Repeat process (steps 2-6) if any soil is detected.

Preparation for Sterilization

1. Visual Inspection: Visually inspect the dermatome components for cleanliness and
ensure all components are in proper working order. Visually inspect the dermatome
handpiece cable for signs of damage that may include cracks or discoloration of the
cable jacket, exposed conductors, or distortion of cable or connector. If cable damage
is observed, contact Integra Customer Service immediately to purchase a replacement
handpiece cable (part number 353971513) and discard the damaged cable. If damage is
observed on any other dermatome components, the dermatome unit should be returned
immediately to the Integra Padgett Dermatome Repair Center for service. (Refer to
Maintenance and Servicing section.)
2. Assemble the unit by aligning the holes in the motor housing
flange with the threaded studs of the cutting head. Note that the
thumbswitch on the motor housing is to be positioned on the top
of the unit. Tip the motor housing to create sufficient clearance
to carefully slide the motor housing drive shaft into the cutting
head. Replace and tighten the two dermatome hex nuts using
the dermatome wrench. Check that the oscillating pin is properly
positioned using the pin position guide as instructed in the
Troubleshooting section.
3. Wrap Dermatome for Sterilization: The guard plate, width clips,
and the width clip attachment screws are not to be assembled
to the dermatome in preparation for sterilization. Prepare the
dermatome handpiece, guard plate, width clips, width clip screws, handpiece cable,
dermatome screwdriver, dermatome wrench, and pin position guide for sterilization
using a wrapper that is appropriate for the method of sterilization to be used. The
oscillating pin side of the dermatome's cutting head is to face downward to expedite
drainage of potential condensate if a steam sterilization method is employed.
4. Sterilization: Utilize one of the validated methods of sterilization outlined in the
sterilization section.
