Introduction
General Information
Intended use The Air Pen Drive is an air-driven system to be used for treatment in general traumatology, as well as for surgeries in the areas of the hand, foot, spine, maxillofacial and neurosurgery. Safety instructions The surgeon has to evaluate if the machine is suitable for an application, based on power limitation of the machine, attachment and cutting tool regarding bone strength/anatomical situation as well as handling of the machine, attachment and cutting tool regarding bone size. In addition, the contraindications of the implant have to be respected. Please refer to the corresponding ”Surgical Techniques” of the implant system used. The Air Pen Drive System is only to be used for patient treatment after careful consultation of the instructions for use. It is recommended that an alternative system is available to use during application, as technical problems can never be completely ruled out. The Air Pen Drive System is designed for use by physicians and trained medical personnel.
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety goggles when handling with the Air Pen Drive. To prevent overheating, always respect the duty cycles for each attachment listed on page 42. For the tool to function properly, Synthes recommends that it is cleaned and serviced after each use in accordance with the process recommended in the chapter ”Care and Maintenance”. Compliance with these specifications can considerably extend the service life of the tool. Only use Synthes oil to lubricate the tool. Efficiently working cutting tools are the basis for successful surgery. Therefore, it is mandatory to check used cutting tools after every use for wear and/or damage and to replace them if necessary. We recommend using new Synthes cutting tools for every surgery. Cutting tools must be cooled with irrigation liquid to prevent heat necrosis. The user of the product is responsible for proper use of the equipment during surgery.
DO NOT use any component if damage is apparent. DO NOT use this equipment in presence of oxygen, nitrous oxide or a mixture consisting of flammable anesthetic and air. Never use oxygen to run air-powered systems (danger of explosion!); only use compressed air or compressed nitrogen. To ensure proper operation of the tool, use only Synthes original accessories. Recommended operating pressure: 6–8 bar (see also chapter System Specification) Only use original Synthes hoses for compressed air. Before first and every use, power tools and their accessories/attachments have to run through the complete reprocessing procedure. Protective covers and foils must be fully removed before sterilization.
If the Air Pen Drive System is used in conjunction with an implant system make sure to consult the corresponding ”Surgical Technique”. This system requires regular maintenance service, at least once a year, in order to maintain its functionality. This service has to be performed by the original manufacturer or an authorized site. Unusual Transmissible Pathogens Surgical patients identified as at-risk for CreutzfeldtJakob disease (CJD) and related infections should be treated with single-use instruments. Dispose of instruments used or suspected of use on a patient with CJD after surgery and/or follow current national recommendations.
Check instruments for correct adjustment and functioning prior to every use.

Introduction General Information
Precautions: • Never use oxygen to run air-powered systems (danger of explosion!); only use compressed air or compressed nitrogen. • To avoid injuries, the locking mechanism of the tool has to be activated before every manipulation and before placing the tool back down, i.e. the mode switch has to be in the LOCK positon ( ). • Should the machine drop on the floor and have visible defects, do not use it anymore and send it to the Synthes service center. • If a product drops on the floor, fragments may split off. This represents danger for the patient and user as: • these fragments may be sharp. • unsterile fragments may enter the sterile field or hit the patient. Accessories/Scope of delivery The main components in the APD System are the handpiece, Hand Switch, Foot Switch, Air Hose as well as attachments and accessories. An overview of all components belonging to the Air Pen Drive System can be found in the chapter ”Ordering Information”. For using the Air Pen Drive System the following components are a must: • Air Pen Drive 60,000 rpm (05.001.080) • Hand Switch (05.001.082) or Foot Switch (05.001.081, also a Double Air Hose from Synthes is necessary to connect the Foot Switch e.g. 519.510) • Double Air Hose, for Air Pen Drive (05.001.083 or 05.001.084) • At least one attachment belonging to the system and cutting tool fitting to the attachment For an optimal function of the system only Synthes cutting tools shall be used. Synthes recommends the use of the specifically designed Synthes Vario Cases and of the specifically designed Washing Basket (68.001.800) to sterilize and store the system.

Saw Attachments
Working with saw attachments Allow the unit to start up before placing it on the bone. Avoid heavy pressure on the saw blade so that the cutting process is not slowed and the saw teeth do not bind up in the bone. The best sawing performance is achieved by moving the unit slightly to and fro on the plane of the saw blade. Imprecise cuts indicate worn saw blades, excessive pressure or jamming of the saw blade due to tilting.
Information on handling saw blades Synthes recommends using a new saw blade for each surgery, as only then can it be ensured that the saw blade is always optimally sharpened and clean. Used saw blades present the following risks: • Necrosis due to excess heat • Infections due to residues • Longer cutting time due to reduced sawing performance
