General Warnings and Safety Notices - Read This First It is imperative that the symbols and conventions listed below be clearly understood. The DrillSaw Sports 400 System User’s Guide identifies critical, important, and useful information using these symbols and conventions.

Important Safety Conventions Users of this device are encouraged to contact their Arthrex representative if they require a more comprehensive surgical technique.

W A R N I N G ! The WARNING! label is the most important safety symbol. It identifies critical information that must be followed precisely to avoid injury or death. 1.

Use this device only for purposes described in the User’s Guide, under the supervision of a trained and licensed physician. This device should not be used by untrained personnel or used for indications other than those described in this User’s Guide.

2.

Before using the DrillSaw Sports 400 System for the first time, store it at room temperature for 24 hours.

3.

Charge batteries before every use. Follow the instructions for charging the batteries before use.

4.

The device is intended to apply mechanical force/rotational energy to the patient.

5.

Before each use, check the handpiece and the attachments for damage and/or loose parts. Do not use any part that is damaged.

6.

Prior to each use, fully assemble the system and press the trigger mechanism to ensure proper function. All couplings and mechanical connections need to be fully secured or locked before the actuation of the system. Never touch the chuck mechanism of the handpiece while the motor is still in motion.

7.

Avoid overheating at the treatment site by following the duty cycle and using sharp cutting and drilling accessories.

8.

No modification of the AR-400 or the accessories is allowed.

9.

Unauthorized attempts to open or service this system will void the warranty. Removing the cover may introduce an electric shock hazard by exposing the user to dangerously high voltages or other risks. If the system malfunctions, it should be returned for service immediately.

10. Misuse, unauthorized assembly and modifications or repairs to the AR-400 system, or non-compliance with these instructions relieves Arthrex of all liability for claims under warranty or other claims.

DFU-0253-5r0_fmt_en-US

Page 1 of 46

DrillSaw Sports 400™ System User’s Guide 11. Use only Arthrex approved accessories. Other accessories may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the system. Contact your Arthrex representative for a complete list of accessories. DO NOT modify any accessory. Failure to comply may result in injury to the patient and/or operating room staff. 12. Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics or oxidizing gases such as nitrous oxide, oxygen, or endogenous gases. All oxygen connections must be leak free for the duration of the surgical procedure. 13. After autoclaving, the accessory devices are VERY HOT. Handle with care to avoid burns. 14. The equipment is NOT suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres or with potentially explosive mixtures of anesthetic substances containing oxygen or nitrous oxide. 15. Zone M is defined as a “medical environment” and constitutes the part of a room in which potentially explosive atmospheres may form due to the use of anesthetics or medical antiseptics and antibacterial soaps; such atmospheres are typically localized and temporary. Zone M comprises a truncated pyramid below the operating table which is tilted outwards at a 30° angle. 16. Zone G, also known as an “enclosed medical gas system”, does not necessarily include areas enclosed around all sides, in which explosive mixtures are continuously or temporarily generated, directed or used in small quantities. 17. Only fit an attachment/accessory when the handpiece is at a complete stop and in safe position. Safe position is annotated by the “S” on the mode switch. 18. Do not interfere with the rotary instruments or saws while they are in motion. 19. Never touch an attachment or press the release mechanism of the collet while the device is in motion. 20. To avoid potential injury, never allow a rotary or saw attachment to make contact with the surrounding soft tissues and vessels. 21. Never use the Arthrex DrillSaw Sports 400 System in areas near strong magnetic fields. 22. Do not place the handpiece on the patient. 23. Disconnect the rechargeable battery immediately after using the handpiece. 24. Only use accessories which are in proper working order. Damaged or improperly functioning accessories must be sent in for service. 25. It is recommended to have a backup system available should the need arise. 26. For Aseptic Battery Pack (AR-400UB) and Sterilizable Battery (AR-400SB): Warning: Risk of Fire, Burns and Explosion. Do Not Short Circuit, Open, Crush or Incinerate

The aseptic battery packs are NOT to be cleaned and disinfected in a washerdisinfector. 7. NEVER place the handpiece or accessories in Cidex or other aldehyde disinfectant solutions. 8. After sterilization in the autoclave, let the accessory device cool down slowly. NEVER use cold water to cool the handpieces. This will damage the electronic components and seals. 9. Liquid on the battery and handpiece contacts may damage the device. Before connecting the battery, ensure the receptacles are clean and dry. 10. Always comply with the instructions issued by the manufacturer of the cleaning agent or disinfectant regarding concentration, exposure times, temperature, and material compatibility. 11. Remove all accessories, including attachments and battery before sterilizing a handpiece. 12. Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. 13. This device is intended to be used by a trained medical professional 14. Biohazard waste, such as explanted devices, needles and contaminated surgical equipment, should be safely disposed of in accordance with the institutions policy. 15. Serious incidents should be reported to Arthrex Inc., or an in-country representative, and to the health authority where the incident occurred. 

* Following the duty cycle is an important part of maintaining the Arthrex DrillSaw Sports 400 Power System. The duty cycle times have been determined under average load, using the Sagittal Saw attachment and at ambient air temperature of 25° C (77° F). Operating the device above of these prescribed parameters can lead to user and patient injury, as well as a shortened life span of the device itself. The recommended environmental operating temperature is 25° C (77° F) or lower. Operating in environments above 25° C (77° F) can shorten the above prescribed duty cycles. The environment temperature, surgical attachment type and time need to be considered by the user, when planning its use in surgical interventions. Additionally, please read the General Warnings and Safety Notices that start on Page 1 of this User’s Guide.
