Warnings & Safety Rules WARNING!: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED! Danger!: Possible explosion hazard if used in the presence of flammable anaesthetics. Only permit trained personnel to use this equipment. Do not connect the equipment to the mains supply until all the instructions have been studied. Always check that the voltage stated on the identification plate corresponds with the electrical supply. Carefully inspect all equipment and accessories before use. Do not operate the equipment if it appears damaged or incorrectly installed. Always test the equipment prior to use, and check for malfunction or rapid temperature rise. Do not use suspect or damaged equipment. Always use eye protection when cutting to prevent injury from flying debris. Always ensure that no loose articles can be caught by the moving parts of the equipment. Always disconnect the equipment from the electrical supply when cleaning, changing accessories or when not in use. Always allow the equipment to stop before removing from the cutting site. Do not immerse the equipment in fluids. Do not drop the equipment. Do not clean in an ultrasonic cleaner. Do Not leave the extractor unattended when it is switched on.

Product Description The De Soutter Medical CC5A consists of four items: • CC5 Saw: The De Soutter Medical model CC5 is a low voltage two speed saw designed for the safe removal of surgical casts. • PS5 Power Supply: The PS5 power supply provides the CC5 saw with low voltage electricity. It is located under the CCS debris drum. • CCS Extractor: The CCS extractor provides a powerful suction at the cutting site, removing fumes, dust and debris generated in the cast cutting process. These particles are ducted from the cutting site through the extraction hose and are contained in the disposable bag in the debris drum. • Extraction Hose Kit: The hose kit provides the hose and other accessories required for assembly of the CCS5 system.

System Assembly Mains Supply Lead If an unsuitable plug is fitted to the mains lead, remove and destroy this plug before disposal. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue - Neutral Brown - Live Green/Yellow - Earth Connect the wires in the mains lead to a suitable plug as follows: Blue wire to the terminal marked either letter N or coloured blue or black. Brown wire to the terminal marked either letter L or coloured brown or red. Green/Yellow wire to the terminal marked either letter E or coloured green. Ensure that the correct fuse is fitted to protect the equipment: refer to the Technical Description for details of which fuse is required. Extractor and Power Supply The system may be supplied in two different formats: 1. PS5 power supply assembled to CCS extractor chassis. • Disconnect the debris drum from the chassis and insert the CC5 saw power cable into the PS5 power supply socket. Insert the cable into the cable restraint and latching clip. Replace the debris drum and re-connect the power supply plug into the socket on the powerhead. 2. PS5 power supply not assembled to CCS extractor chassis. • Disconnect the debris drum from the chassis, and pass the power supply cable through the rear box tray aperture. Secure the tray with the nuts and bolts provided. Locate the power supply by sliding it backwards on the tray retainers, and secure it with the small self tapping screw. Saw & Hose: • Attach the metal connector of the extraction hose assembly into the rear of the CC5 saw and the other end on to the vacuum inlet spigot on the debris drum. • Secure the CC5 power cable to the hose with the clips provided. Handle: • Assemble the handle to the chassis and secure with the nuts and bolts provided. Refer to the diagram on page 7 of this manual. Saw: • Attach the blade of choice to the tool output shaft, secure the clamp screw and tighten with the hexagon key provided. Always check the condition of the blade before use. The blade may be repositioned up to five times, therefore always presenting an unused section. 4

System Controls

Main On/Off Switch: Located at the front of the extractor powerhead handle.

Extractor Controls: Automatic: Set the automatic/manual switch to automatic. The extractor will now operate when the tool is switched on, and purge itself for a few seconds after the tool is switched off. Manual: Set the automatic/manual switch to manual. The extractor may now be operated independently from the saw. HI/ LO Extractor Suction: Select the desired suction level with the HI/ LO suction control. LO suction is normally adequate for general cast cutting, and is much quieter.

Power Supply Controls: The power supply is operated by the illuminated green switch at the rear.

Saw Controls: Operate the saw using the rear mounted On/Off switch (this switch remotely controls the extractor when set in Automatic mode). Select the desired saw speed by setting the switch on the rear of the saw to either (low) or (high). The saw cannot be operated without the extractor.

5

Operation System Operation Set the controls for the extractor suction and saw speed to the desired settings. Switch the PS5 power supply ON. This switch may be left ON permanently. Switch the extractor mains switch ON. In Automatic mode, the system will now be controlled from the On/Off switch on the saw. Cutting Technique Before use, the operator should handle the saw and determine the most convenient grip position. Do not exert excessive working pressure - allow the blade to cut at it’s own rate. Excessive pressure will overload the motor, without increasing cutting efficiency, and will cause the overload to trip. If this occurs reset the overload by pushing the overload button on the power supply. Caution: Excessive cutting pressure will also cause the blade to overheat which may result in injury to the patient. Likewise badly worn blades will generate excessive heat therefore the blades should be inspected and replaced regularly. A new or repositioned blade will improve cutting efficiency. Reduce vibration and temperature of the blade when cutting. Make the first cut both downwards and slightly sideways, at approximately 30 degrees, in order to keep one side of the blade out of contact with the cast. This will allow the operator a greater sense of feel when the blade breaks through. After the first cut, all cuts should be made straight down into the cast. The cutter should be lifted slightly and moved sideways; the second cut can then be taken straight down, the operator feeling the break through quite easily. Cutting can then proceed in a series of downward cuts, lifting and moving sideways progressively. The blade may touch soft mobile tissue momentarily without harm under a light pressure, however it should never be permitted to be in contact with the skin for any length of time.

Cleaning and Maintenance The system should be checked visually after each use for each of the following: • Condition of the electrical cables, for wear or abrasion. • Excessive build up of plaster dust in the hood. • The blade for wear and the blade retainer for tightness. • The system as a whole for damage. Never use any equipment you suspect to be damaged. Periodically check the Extractor filters and bag for excessive contamination. Periodic technical maintenance is not required. Cleaning Use suitable disinfecting and cleaning materials as per local decontamination guide lines.

Extractor Bag Replacement and Filter Cleaning For maximum efficiency replace the paper dust bag as soon as the suction performance decreases. Powerhead

To gain access to the dust bag, release the two powerhead latches and remove the powerhead. Lift out the two permanent filters, and remove the dust bag by sliding the cardboard collar from the inlet spigot. Dust bag replacement is carried out in the reverse sequence.

Permanent Filters

If after prolonged use the permanent filters appear excessively contaminated, rinse them thoroughly in luke warm water and allow them to dry naturally before use.

Fault Finding Unit will not start: Check the condition of the fuses and the overload protectors, located: • On the power supply - 2 fuses and 1 overload protector. • On the extractor powerhead handle. To release the built in fuses, depress and twist the fuseholder. Withdraw the fuse in its holder, and inspect and replace as necessary. Reset the overload by pushing the overload button on the power supply. Unit stops in use: Wait five minutes and see if the thermal overloads reset. These thermal overloads are located in the extractor and in the power supply, and operate automatically. Tool cuts slowly: Check the condition of the blade. Adjust and replace the blade as required. Extractor is noisy and suction is poor: Check the paper debris bag and the filters. Change the bag or clean the filters as required. If any problem persists then consult De Soutter Medical Ltd.
