Working with the product

WARNING Risk of infection and contamination! Application parts and the motor hose are delivered non-sterile! ► Sterilize application parts and motor cable prior to use, in accordance with the instructions for use. WARNING Risk of injury and material damage due to inadvertent activation of the applied part! ► Secure application parts that are not actively used against inadvertent activation (off position). WARNING Injury and material damage may result from an inappropriate use of tools! ► Always follow the safety advice and information provided in the instructions for use. ► Handle tools having cutting edges with care when coupling/uncoupling. ► Do not use tools for strutting or levering. WARNING Risk of burns to skin and tissue due to blunt tools/insufficient maintenance of the application part! ► Use tools only if they are in perfect condition. ► Replace blunt tools. ► Maintain the application part properly, see maintenance. WARNING Dropping may damage the product ! ► Use the products only if they are in a flawless technical condition, see function check

6.1

System set-up

WARNING Risk of injury when coupling/uncoupling tools in the "On" position due to accidental activation of the applied part! ► Only couple/uncouple tools in the "Off" position. WARNING Risk of injury due to small parts that could enter the surgical field! ► Do not couple/uncouple tools above the surgical field. Note Operating elements on the system components of the ELAN 4 air motor system are labeled with a gold marking. Connecting the accessories Do not use accessories in combinations that are not mentioned in these instructions for use. ► Follow the instructions for use of individual accessories. ► Please address your B. Braun/Aesculap partner or Aesculap Technical Service with any inquiries in this respect; for a contact address, see Technical Service.

Connecting the applied part to the motor hose ► Attach the connection for motor hose of the applied part 2 to the connection for applied part 6 of the motor hose, see Fig. G. When doing so, ensure that the nib 10 on the motor hose is aligned with the groove on the connection for motor hose 11. The applied part engages. When the field of vision is “Off” 8 on the motor hose, a gold-colored marking is visible. Note The applied part attached to this motor hose is only ready for operation when the release button is in "On" 7 position. Remove the ELAN 4 ECCOS general holder for saw blades GB720R from the tray The insert of the ELAN 4 ECCOS holder GB720R can be removed from the tray together with the tools. ► Pull at the tab 16 and remove the insert from the holder, see Fig. H. Coupling the tool to the applied part ► Lock the applied part ("Off" position), see Locking the applied part

("Off" position). ► Insert connection side of saw blade 4 into the slot in the tool holder 1,

see Fig. A. When doing so, make certain that the lateral stops of the saw blade are resting on the tool holder, see Fig. B. The saw blade engages. ► Pull at saw blade 4 to check that it is securely coupled. Releasing the applied part for operation ("On" position) ► Activate the release button 9 on the motor hose and push the connec-

tion for applied part 6 onto the applied part, see Fig. G. The applied part engages. When the field of vision is “On” 7 on the motor hose, a gold-colored marking is visible. Locking the applied part ("Off" position) ► Activate the release button 9 on the motor hose and detach the motor hose from the applied part, see Fig. G. The applied part engages. When the field of vision is “Off” 8 on the motor hose, a gold-colored marking is visible. Uncoupling the tool from the applied part Note For easier uncoupling of the tool, position tool holder in the 45° position (see Fig. C) or in the 90° position (see Fig. D), see Adjusting the tool holder. ► Lock the applied part ("Off" position), see Locking the applied part

("Off" position). ► Gently press the gold piece for tool release 5 downwards and keep

pressed down. ► Remove the saw blade 4 from the tool holder 1, see Fig. B.

Adjusting the tool holder ► Press button for adjusting the tool holder 3 and keep pressed down, see Fig. C. ► Turn tool holder 1 to the desired position (-90°/-45°/0°/45°/90°), see Fig. C and Fig. D. ► Release button for adjusting the tool holder 3 and lock tool holder 1 by engaging it in place. If necessary, slightly move the tool holder back and forth.

Validated reprocessing procedure

7.1

General safety notes

Note Adhere to national statutory regulations, national and international standards and directives, and local, clinical hygiene instructions for reprocessing.

Function checks

► Prior to each use, check that all products to be used are in good work-

ing order. ► Check the secure connection of all products to be used. ► Check that the tool holder 1 is securely locked in place. Turn tool

holder. ► Check that the saw blade is coupled properly. Pull at the saw blade. ► Check that the cutting edges of the saw blades are not showing any

Note For patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), suspected CJD, or possible variants of CJD, observe the relevant national regulations concerning the reprocessing of products. Note Mechanical reprocessing should be favored over manual cleaning as it gives better and more reliable results.

mechanical damage. ► Briefly run the applied parts at maximum speed. ► Do not use the product if it is damaged or defective. Set aside the prod-

uct if it is damaged.

6.3

Safe operation

WARNING Coagulation of patient tissue or risk of burns for patients and users from hot application part/tool! ► Cool the tool during operation. ► Keep product/tool out of the reach of patients. ► Allow the applied part/tool to cool down. ► When changing the tool, use a cloth as a protection against burns.

Note It should be noted that successful reprocessing of this medical device can only be guaranteed following prior validation of the reprocessing method. The operator/reprocessing technician is responsible for this. Note If there is no final sterilization, then a virucidal disinfectant must be used. Note See also B. Braun eIFUs at eifu.bbraun.com for up-to-date information on processing and material compatibility The validated steam sterilization procedure was carried out in the Aesculap sterile container system.

7.2 WARNING Risk of infection from aerosol formation! Risk of injuries caused by particles coming loose from the tool! ► Take appropriate protective measures, e.g. watertight protective clothing, face mask and protective goggles, suction extraction. WARNING Risk of injury and/or malfunction! ► Always carry out a function check prior to using the product. WARNING Risk of injury when using the product beyond the field of view! ► Apply the product only under visual control. WARNING Risk of injury if the tool comes loose accidentally! ► Do not press the piece for saw blade release during operation. ► Check for secure fixation of the tool after any tool change. Operation of the applied part is only possible if:

■ the applied part is released, ■ a foot control or hand control is connected.

General information

Dried or affixed surgical residues can make cleaning more difficult or ineffective and lead to corrosion. Therefore the time interval between application and processing should not exceed 6 h; also, neither fixating precleaning temperatures >45 °C nor fixating disinfecting agents (active ingredient: aldehydes/alcohols) should be used. Excessive neutralizing agents or basic cleaners may result in a chemical attack and/or fading and the laser marking becoming unreadable either visually or by machine. Residues containing chlorine or chlorides, e.g., in surgical residues, medicines, saline solutions, and in the service water used for cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization, will cause corrosion damage (pitting, stress corrosion) and result damage to metallic products. These must be removed by rinsing thoroughly with demineralized water and then drying. Perform additional drying, if necessary. Only process chemicals that have been tested and approved (e.g. VAH or FDA approval or CE mark) and which are compatible with the product’s materials according to the chemical manufacturers’ recommendations may be used for processing the product. All the chemical manufacturer's application specifications must be strictly observed. Failure to do so can result in the following problems: ■ Material damage such as corrosion, cracks, fracturing, premature aging, or swelling. ► Do not use metal cleaning brushes or other abrasives that would damage the product surface and could cause corrosion ► For detailed information on hygienically safe and materialfriendly/careful processing, please refer to www.a-k-i.org Header "AKIBrochures", "Red brochure".
