Write the in-service start date on the contamination guard label before you install it. See page 79 for details on the contamination guard shelf life. All of the handpiece and tubing kit components in the CUSA NXT System are not manufactured with dry natural rubber or natural rubber latex.
CUSA NXT tips utilize a silicone flue. Compressing the flue against the side of the vibrating surface along the length of the tip can cause excessive heating and potential burns along the surgical path.
Warning Electric Shock Hazard – Always unplug the CUSA NXT System before cleaning Do not allow fluids to enter the Console or Service Module. Caution Validation of the steam cycles described have been conducted, however, it is solely the decision of the hospital to approve the use of these cycles.
TO AVOID RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, THIS EQUIPMENT MUST ONLY BE CONNECTED TO A SUPPLY MAINS WITH PROTECTIVE EARTH. Operating the CUSA NXT outside of the specified environmental conditions may result in injury to the patient and/or surgical personnel, or cause damage to the equipment which may result in a delay in patient treatment.

Stop aspiration (until the pedal is released). • Using the Touch Screen Monitor The CUSA NXT Console provides a touch screen monitor for viewing and controlling the power, irrigation, and aspiration levels during an ultrasonic case. 38 • Chapter 3 • Using the Console, Service Module, and Handpieces...
For instructions on maintaining the touch screen, see page 80. Status/Alarm Symbols The CUSA NXT System activates an alarm to indicate a technical problem with the system. All alarms on the CUSA NXT are technical, low-priority alarms, for example, mechanical or equipment related. There are no physiological alarms on the CUSA NXT System.
Page 47
Warning Ignoring alarms on the CUSA NXT System while continuing to use the system may result in injury to the patient and/or surgical personnel, or equipment damage.
Adjusting the Ultrasonic Control Scales Use the , and scales to control the major power irrigation aspiration ultrasonic settings during a case. Adjusting the Power Level Use the scale (orange) to specify the ultrasonic power output (tip power amplitude). The power settings range between 10% and 100%. The default power setting is 10%.
Page 49
Adjusting the Irrigation Level Use the scale (blue) to specify the rate irrigation of irrigation that will be delivered to the handpiece. The irrigation rate ranges between 2 and 20 ml/minute. The default flow is 3 ml/min. The accuracy of the irrigation flow is +/- 20% of setting or +/-1 ml/min, whichever is greater.
Adjusting the Aspiration Level Use the scale (green) to specify the aspiration aspiration rate of the total available suction of the source of vacuum employed. The aspiration rate ranges from 15% to 100%. The default setting for aspiration is 100%. The accuracy of the aspiration rate is +/-50 mm Hg of available aspiration.

Appropriate handpiece wrench set • The CUSA NXT System requires a minimum of one hour exposure at its operating temperature range before you use it. Make sure that the system is located in the surgical room at least an hour before use.
Caution The manifold tubing utilizes PVC tubing which is known to contain DEHP in a portion of the drainage path. The risk of exposure to pregnant (breast feeding) women, children and peri-pubescent males is not considered significant for the following reason(s): Saline solution running through the tubing, as irrigation, comes into contact with the surgery site during the tissue ablation process.

Connect Tubing to Console Warning To avoid injury to surgical personnel, keep fingers away from the pump rollers. Follow the diagram on the side label of the Console: Notice When preparing the tubing set, connect the tubing to the pump prior to attaching the irrigation supply.
Priming the Handpieces Automatic priming is a feature on the CUSA NXT System. Manual methods for priming used with previous versions of Selector may still be performed, however, you must at least start and then stop the initial prime cycle in order to proceed with system operation.
Page 71
On the prime screen, press the start button; the CUSA NXT will start to prime the handpiece and display a progress bar. To stop the priming process at any time, press the button. stop Caution Do not power the CUSA Selector handpiece without fully priming the handpiece with irrigant, i.e.

Increasing the setting (blue) increases the irrigation flow. • irrigation Increasing the setting (green) increases the suction at the • aspiration handpiece tip. During the surgical procedures, you may adjust these variables by adjusting the appropriate scales on the touch screen.
Warning CUSA NXT tips utilize silicone flues. Compressing the flue against the side of the vibrating surface along the length of the tip can cause excessive heating and potential hazard to adjacent tissue, such as burns.
Warning Excessive loading of CUSA NXT tips at the surgical site can induce heating due to vibration and acoustic power transmissions into adjacent tissue that may not be easily visualized due to anatomical constraints. Thermal management of the surgical site with the aid of the appropriate irrigation and aspiration settings is essential.

Reposition the handle of the handpiece in the holder cut out and using the same wrench set as before, loosen the angled extension by turning it counterclockwise. Notice If you are using either a straight or laparoscopic handpiece, the angled extension is not required.
Note that sterilization systems in use at hospitals are chamber specific. As a result, Integra LifeSciences can only recommend a reference for hospitals to aid the sterilization parameters set for your hospital system. Integra LifeSciences has validated the following sterilization cycles for your consideration.
Validations for Steam Sterilization Integra LifeSciences has validated steam sterilization. The challenge organism used was > 1 x 10 Bacillus stereothermophilus. Biological indicators were placed in the areas identified as the most difficult to sterilize, representing worst case conditions.
Maintaining the Handpieces In addition to the post-operative care of the CUSA NXT System described on pages 73 and 75, further maintenance steps recommended by the manufacturer are as follows: General Maintenance At 6 Month Intervals Remove and replace the contamination guard every six months, or when the filter changes color (part # NXT00005).
If you need to move/relocate the CUSA NXT System within the environment of the Healthcare Facility, note the guidelines below. The CUSA NXT System requires a minimum of one hour exposure at its operating temperature range before you use it; make sure that the system is located in the surgical room at least an hour before use.
Handpieces making sure that the contents will be well protected against dropping and manhandling. It is strongly advised that the original cardboard packaging is only used once for re-packing. If you do not have suitable packaging please contact your Integra representative. ®...
