WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
To avoid serious injury to the patient and operating staff while the Zimmer Electric Dermatome is in use,
the user must be thoroughly familiar with its function, application, and instructions for use.
To avoid injury, use extreme caution when handling the blade or when handling the dermatome with the
blade installed.
Use caution when inserting blade to avoid nicking it, which may result in an uneven cut. To avoid blade
damage, place dermatome blade side up when not in use.
The throttle must be in the SAFE position before changing blades, when connecting power to the
instrument, or when the instrument is not in use. Accidental activation of the instrument during these
procedures may injure the patient or operating staff. To ensure that the instrument is in the SAFE
position, the safety lock on the throttle should be toward the blade end of the dermatome and only the
word SAFE should be visible.
Handle the Zimmer Electric Dermatome carefully. Should it be inadvertently dropped or damaged, it
should be serviced. Do not use.
Use only Zimmer Dermatome Blades (REF 00-8800-000-10). The Zimmer Dermatome Blade has been
specifically designed and engineered for use with the Zimmer Electric Dermatome. Other blades may not
fit properly in the dermatome and may cause serious injury. Use of non-Zimmer Dermatome Blades can
cause the dermatome to take grafts deeper than what the user has selected. Never connect the Zimmer
Electric Dermatome Handpiece to any source other than the Zimmer Electric Dermatome Power Supply.
It has been factory calibrated to provide optimum cutting performance and maximum safety. It is also
designed to meet or exceed specific medical electrical safety standards.
Ground reliability can only be achieved when the power cord is connected to a receptacle marked
"HOSPITAL GRADE". Use only the power cord marked "HOSPITAL GRADE" supplied or one that
complies with all local and electrical requirements but does not exceed 10 feet (3.05 meters).
For continued protection against fire hazard, replace only with the same type and rating of fuse. Refer to
FUSES section.
Possible explosion hazard exists if this instrument is used in the presence of flammable anesthetics or
gasses.
Never sterilize the power supply. Disconnect the dermatome handpiece from the power supply before
sterilization.
