General notes and instructions for use CAUTION Possible instrument or device failure! In therapeutic applications, an adequate backup device with the same capabilities must be available should the device fail.
CAUTION All Richard Wolf disposable rotary blades and burrs are sterilely packaged in double packaging and are intended for one single use only. Any products that are not used should be kept in the outer packaging (cardboard box). Do not use products with damaged outer sterile packaging (plastic bag).
CAUTION Do not interchange the inner parts (A) and the outer parts (B) of different rotary blades and burrs. If the inner parts (A) and the outer parts (B) of different rotary blades and burrs are interchanged, damage may occur on the product, which will lead to patient injury.
CAUTION Excessive pressure of the rotary blades and burrs into the tissue will not improve the cutting performance but, in extreme cases, may cause wear and tear on the inner part.
ATTENTION Rapid cooling of a hot motor handpiece can cause stresses in the material and may lead to failure of the device or a reduced service life.

GA-A238
2.7.1
Additional notes and instructions on tracheo-bronchoscopy WARNING Excessively high speeds! High speeds increase friction, which may result in wear and tear, and the formation of cracks on the product as well as the risk of thermal damage to the tissue as a result of excessive heat. Use the tracheal resectors and the tracheal secretion remover only in conjunction with POWER DRIVE ART1 "2304" and the preset speeds.
WARNING Incorrect direction of rotation! This may cause inadvertent tissue damage. Tracheal resectors cut soft tissue. The tracheal secretion remover transports the secretion only in the "clockwise" direction of rotation. Use tracheal resectors and tracheal secretion removers only in conjunction with POWER DRIVE ART1 "2304" and the preset directions of rotation.
WARNING Risk of injury if the tracheal secretion remover is not used as intended! This may cause inadvertent injuries. Do not use the tracheal secretion remover for the removal of tissue, stent material (wire, silicone) or foreign objects. Use the tracheal secretion remover only as intended for the removal of secretion from the tracheobronchial space.
WARNING Risk of injury by a blocked feed spiral! The feed spiral in the tracheal secretion remover may become blocked during use. This may cause inadvertent injuries. In this case, switch off the motor handpiece immediately, either via: ● the Micro Stick S1 using the "ON/OFF" button or ● the footswitch using the "+" / "-" pedals Remove the tracheal secretion remover from the patient and from the motor handpiece. In addition, follow the instruction manual for the "Instrument set for shaver-assisted tissue resection from the tracheobronchial space", order no. GA-G 134.

2.8
Combinations CAUTION Be careful not to combine products incorrectly! Injuries of the patient, user or others as well as damage to the product are possible. n The products must only be used jointly if the intended use and the relevant technical data such as working length, diameter, etc. are the same. n Also follow the instruction manuals of the products used in conjunction with this product. Use only approved components and connection cables. Use only suction devices and devices for supplying irrigation fluid that do not reduce the protection rating "BF" of the motor handpiece in accordance with IEC / EN 60601. The user is responsible for selecting a suitable irrigation fluid. Due to differing anatomy, it is not possible to quantify irrigation and suction rates. The user must adapt the flow to the respective conditions.
NOTE In the case of rotary blades and burrs for spinal surgery, make sure that the working channel of discoscopes or the internal diameter of working sleeves is sufficiently large. Use instruments with diameters of 2.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.0 mm through discoscopes. Use instruments with a diameter of 4.5 mm through suitable working sleeves. To facilitate surgical access, rotary blades with a distal guide bore (hip arthroscopy) can be guided by a flexible guide wire with a diameter of ≤ 2.0 mm.
