Instructions for Use and Care
IFU-2016.03.07
The ALGERBRUSH II burr must be sterilized prior to its initial use and following each use thereafter (for sterilization
information, refer to section entitled "Sterilization" )
The chuck and burr on the ALGERBRUSH II are held together by friction and may become loose during shipment. Prior to
each use of the ALGERBRUSH II, check the following:
1) Burr fits snugly within the chuck
2) Chuck fits snugly on the motor shaft
*** If either of the above parts is loose, injury to the patient could result if the assembly falls off during use. Please refer to
section entitled "Chuck and Burr Maintenance"
END NUT
OPERATION
To start the ALGERBRUSH II, turn end nut in "ON" direction indicated on ALGERBRUSH II label, i.e., to the right
To stop the ALGERBRUSH II, turn end nut in "OFF" direction indicated on ALGERBRUSH II label, i.e., to the left
*** Note: To ensure ALGERBRUSH II is "OFF", check that the chuck and burr have stopped spinning.
INSTALLATION / CHANGING OF BATTERY
*** Note: When changing battery, care should be taken not to put pressure on the battery clip as it may break at the point
where it attaches to the motor
• Remove chuck and burr assembly (see section entitled "Installation of Chuck and Burr Assembly")
• Remove end nut
• Slide motor and battery assembly out of housing
• Battery must be installed - Pole first (closest to motor; see ALGERBRUSH II diagram above)
(If battery installed + Pole first, the ALGERBRUSH II will not function properly)
• Place new battery between motor and battery clip (- Pole closest to motor)
• Re-insert motor and battery assembly into housing
• Ensure motor seated properly in housing by checking the following:
1) Motor shaft centered in hole at tip of housing
2) Tip of motor shaft just even with top of housing
• Partially tighten end nut
• Note: if motor starts spinning, see section above entitled "Operation of ALGERBRUSH II" for
instructions to stop motor
Warning: If this device is/was used in a patient with or suspected of having Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), the device cannot be reused and must
be destroyed due to the inability to reprocess or sterilize to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination!

- Page 2 ********* DO NOT AUTOCLAVE THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT! IT WILL BE RUINED! ********* • Remove chuck and burr assembly from ALGERBRUSH II (per instructions above); Separating burr by itself is fine, but burrs are small and hard to handle; therefore, it is easier to keep chuck and burr assembly together.
- Page 3 Algerbrush II Instructions for Use and Care IFU-2016.03.07 WARNINGS: • Do not use chemical or dry heat to sterilize carbide burrs, as these processes have not been validated for use. • Cleaning agents with chlorine or cloride as the active ingredient are corrosive to stainless steel and must not be used. Cleaning agents with neutral pH are recommended.
