Chapter 4 - System Setup in the Sterile Environment
4.1 Overview
This section describes the steps for setting up the CUSA® Clarity System in the sterile field. It begins with the arrival of the sterilized handpiece
and accessories in the operating room, and ends with the handpiece being ready for connection to the console.
4.2 Assembling the Handpiece in the Sterile Environment
Attaching a Tip
1. Thread a tip onto the handpiece connecting body by turning the tip clockwise until it is finger tight.
Place the torque base on a flat surface or in the designated spot in the sterilization tray.
WARNING
Before use, sterilize the torque base in the sterilization tray with the handpiece.
Sterilize the tip for EUT use – do not exceed five uses. Sterilize each nosecone, flue, and stylet before use – dispose of each after use.
2. Place the handpiece into the torque base as shown and place the flat metal sides of the handpiece snugly in the metal slot at the end of the
base.
WARNING
Do not use a damaged handpiece with the CUSA Clarity system. This may result in injury to the patient or user.
3. Hold the handpiece in the base and place the torque wrench (color side towards handpiece) over the tip.
