Warnings and Cautions
WARNING
Potential Burn Hazard - CUSA Clarity tips utilize a silicone flue.
Compressing the flue against the side of the vibrating surface along the
length of the tip may cause excessive heating, which may burn the
adjacent tissue of the surgical site.
WARNING
Excessive loading of CUSA Clarity tips at the surgical site may induce
heating due to vibration and acoustic power transmissions. Thermal
management of the surgical site with the aid of the appropriate irrigation
and aspiration settings is essential.
WARNING
If the aspiration tubing and contamination guard are not connected to
the correct canister ports, the system may not work.
WARNING
Avoid excessive lateral loading of CUSA Clarity tips. This may result in
injury to the patient and/or user, or equipment damage.
WARNING
Avoid contacting bone with the CUSA Clarity tips.
WARNING
Do not use the sterile torque wrench for more than one surgical
procedure. Reprocessing may damage the torque wrench.
WARNING
Before use, sterilize the torque base in the sterilization tray with the
handpiece.
