After reprocessing, the sterilizable handle
must be checked for signs of wear, e.g.,
cracks, deformation, discoloration or peeling.
If there are signs of wear, a new handle must
be used.

The Dräger disposable handle must be
checked for secure attachment after it has

manufacturer, see list of accessories.
CAUTION

The stops on the arm system may become
damaged.
When positioning the swivel arms and the
