INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

INSTRUMENTATION ASSEMBLY

The endoscope should always be protected when transported and stored. Dropping
or bending the endoscope may damage the imaging system, which is costly to repair.
The endoscope and Disposable Blade Assembly are not designed to be used as a
lever or probe.
CAUTION: Small-diameter endoscopes are fragile.
1. ASSEMBLY – DISPOSABLE BLADE ASSEMBLY INTO HANDPIECE
1. Turn the blade screw-lock on the top of the handpiece counterclockwise until
it stops to ensure that it is unlocked (Ref: IMAGE 1).
2. Pull up and hold the screw-lock while aligning the Disposable Blade Assembly
with the shuttle inside the nose of the handpiece (Ref: IMAGE 2).
3. Insert the Blade Assembly onto the shuttle inside the handpiece,
slight rotation of the Blade Assembly might be required in order to make the Blade Assembly seat properly.
The Blade Assembly is keyed to the shuttle/handpiece.
4. Once Blade Assembly has been inserted, release the screw-lock and turn clockwise until finger tight. DO NOT over-tighten.
2. ASSEMBLY – ENDOSCOPE TO HANDPIECE
1. Align the endoscope light post with the window on the Blade Assembly's tip. Carefully insert the endoscope into the rear of the
handpiece (Ref: IMAGE 3). Blade Assembly and scope are all keyed together, allowing for optimal endoscopic view.
2. Once the scope has been properly lined-up with the blade, push the scope into the seated position. An audible click indicates
that the endoscope is properly seated. If the scope does not insert easily, rotate it until the unit slides in without resistance.
NOTE: Do not force the endoscope into the handpiece and do not hit the distal end of the endoscope on the Handpiece.
3. If rotation is required due to right or left handed operation, simply loosen the screw-lock and rotate the Blade
Assembly/endoscope to desired position.
4. Once desired position is achieved, release the screw-lock and turn clockwise until finger tight. (Ref: IMAGE 4).
WARNING: Failure to lock the Blade Assembly in place may cause the Blade Assembly to separate from the Handpiece, which
may injure the patient or damage the instrument.
WARNING: Do not over-tighten the screw-lock on the handpiece; this may result in blade not retracting, which may injure the
patient.
5. Check system, by activating trigger to check for smooth extension and retraction. Blade should extend about 3.5 mm
above the flat surface, when trigger is released blade should retract. (Ref: IMAGE 5).
WARNING: The blade is sharp; handle with care.
