SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the CSB-100 cast cutter, CB-100 battery and BC100 battery charger. Do not attempt to use the equipment until all the instructions and cautionary markings on the cast cutter, battery and battery charger, have been studied and understood. CAUTION - To reduce risk of injury, charge only De Soutter type CB-100 rechargeable batteries with the BC-100 battery charger. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury to the patient or operating staff.

Warnings & Safety Rules DANGER!: Possible explosion hazard if used in the presence of flammable anaesthetics. WARNING: Do not insert metal objects into the battery pack receptacles WARNING: Do not charge De Soutter Medical CB-100 battery pack with other chargers. WARNING: Do not sterilise the equipment. WARNING: Do not immerse the equipment. WARNING: Do not expose the equipment to rain or use near water. WARNING: Ensure that batteries are at room temperature before charging. WARNING: Do not attempt to dismantle or remove any parts of the battery pack or charger. WARNING: The Charger has been tested for electro-magnetic compatibility. However, if interference occurs that might cause undesirable operation, separate the components by moving further apart and, if possible, connect charger to a separate outlet. WARNING: Ensure that tool is switched off before inserting battery. WARNING: Do not attempt to charge any other battery other than the CB-100 battery with the BC-100 battery charger. Never permit untrained personnel to use this instrument system. Always check that the voltage stated on the charger identification plate corresponds with the electrical supply. Always inspect all equipment and accessories before use. Do not use suspect, damaged or worn equipment. Always disconnect the battery charger from the electrical supply when cleaning, or when not in use. Always ensure batteries are correctly connected to the cast cutter before use. Only use sharp cutting accessories Always set turn the CSB-100 cast cutter off when changing accessories or when not in use. Always use eye protection when cutting to prevent injury from flying debris. 3

Do not allow loose articles to be caught by the moving parts of the instrument. Never drop the instrument or it’s accessories; always handle with extreme care. Always use De Soutter Medical approved accessories. Only clean the equipment as directed in these Operating Instructions. Follow local recommendations for the avoidance of possible hand-arm vibration damage. The CSB-100 cast cutter can produce a HAV weighted vibration level of approximately 7.9ms-2 when the used with the supplied blade (part No. 6250). The HAV weighted vibration level will reduce if a smaller blade is used.

Environmental Conditions For Use Temperature: Relative Humidity:

0ºC to +30ºC 90% maximum.

Recommended Duty Cycle In order to reduce the risk of excessive and undesirable temperature rise of the handpiece it is recommended that the following duty cycle is applied. A usage/cooling ratio of 1 to 3 is recommended with a maximum continuous cutting time of 4 minutes. (i.e. if the tool is used for 1 minute it should be allowed to rest for at least 4 minutes, if it is used for 3 minutes it should be allowed to rest for at least 12 minutes).

SECTION 3: SYSTEM ASSEMBLY & OPERATION Setting Up The BC-100 Battery Charger Before using the BC-100 charger the correct mains plug adapter needs to be fitted. Slide the desired mains plug adapter into the bottom of the charger until it clicks into place as shown in the illustrations below. The battery charger is now ready for use.

Charging The CB-100 Battery / Charge Indicator Lights With the charger plugged into the mains supply socket connect the battery adapter to the CB-100 battery until it clips into place, as shown in the illustration below.

Turn on the battery charger at the mains supply socket and the charging sequence will commence, this will take up to 3.5 hours depending on the amount of residual charge in the battery pack. The indicator light describes the charge status as follows:

Status

Permanent Yellow Slow Yellow Flash Fast Green Flash Slow Green Flash Fast Yellow Flash

Charger on standby Pre Charge Rapid Charge Maintain Charge Error – Battery failed charging cycle, re-connect the charger plug to the battery. If the battery continues to fail after 3 attempts dispose of battery pack in accordance with disposal instructions. Ready – Battery is charged and ready for use. Wait – The battery is too hot, when the battery reaches normal temperature charging will commence. Charger turned off at mains supply socket.

Permanent Green Alternate Green and Yellow Flash No Light

When the battery is fully charged and ready for use (shown by a permanent green light) turn the charger off at the mains supply socket. Disconnect the battery adapter from the battery by depressing the battery catch and sliding the adapter off the battery. Do Not leave the battery adapter connected to the battery when the charger is switched off or disconnected from the mains supply. Battery Pack Disposal Rechargeable batteries contain substances that may be harmful and must be disposed of responsibly and safely. Do not dispose of them by throwing them into a fire or into water, as they may explode. Dispose of them either by returning them to your De Soutter Medical Distributor or by taking them to a proper refuse depot. Battery Care Guidance The performance and life of the battery packs can be considerably enhanced by the following measures: •

New batteries take some time to reach full performance. Battery packs achieve peak performance after approximately six charge/ discharge cycles. A run time of approximately 20 minutes can be expected from a fully charged battery.

•

Do NOT leave the battery adapter connected to the battery when the charger is switched off.

•

Do NOT use battery packs whilst still warm from charging. Allow adequate time for cooling prior to use.

Battery Pack Connection To Cast Cutter Insert the battery pack into the cast cutter until the catch clicks into place as shown in the illustration below.

Battery Pack Removal From Cast Cutter Depress the catch and slide the battery pack out from the cast cutter until it is fully disengaged, as shown in the illustration below.

CSB-100 Cast Cutter Controls The On/Off switch is located on the top of the saw, slide the switch forward to turn the saw on and slide the switch backwards to turn the saw off.

Saw Blade Assembly • • • •

Ensure the cast cutter is turned off. Remove the clamp screw using the hexagon wrench provided. Attach the blade of choice to the cast cutter output shaft. Refit the clamp screw and tighten using the hexagon wrench provided.

Saw Blade Removal • • •

Ensure the cast cutter is turned off. Remove the clamp screw using the hexagon wrench provided. Remove blade.

Always check the condition of the blade before use. The circular type saw blades may be repositioned up to five times, therefore always presenting an unused section of blade. 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 reduce the output capacity of the battery. 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 skin for any length of time
