Integra Padgett

Electric Dermatome Models B and PI

Troubleshooting:

The following assessment steps can be used to confirm proper dermatome operation. This
assessment is to be performed without the blade and width clip installed.
1. Visually inspect all dermatome system components for signs of physical damage or wear
including loose parts, part distortion, rough edges, and areas of discoloration.
2. Check for proper oscillating pin position with the oscillating pin position guide as
outlined below.
3. Check for proper fit of all dermatome cables. Connect dermatome handpiece cable to the
power supply. Connect power supply wall cord to power supply*. All cable connectors are
to fit properly to their mating receptacles.
4. Connect power supply wall cord to wall receptacle. The indicator light on the power
supply is to illuminate. Failure of the indicator light to illuminate might be remedied by
replacing the fuse or resetting the circuit breaker (See the power supply section). Also
confirm voltage is available at the wall receptacle.
5. Depress thumb switch on dermatome handpiece momentarily. Dermatome motor is
to run and oscillating pin is to move rapidly from side to side. Note any unusual motor
sounds.
*Except for Model B(120V) which features an attached wall cord
If issues are experienced with any of these system checks, do not use the dermatome and
return the unit to the Integra Padgett Dermatome Service Center for service (see Maintenance
and Servicing section). If no issues are observed during this assessment but performance
issues are experienced refer to the following troubleshooting table.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION
• The blade and its mating surfaces of the dermatome are to be free of
lint or other foreign objects which may hinder free movement of the
blade.
• Use only the supplied dermatome screwdriver in order to avoid
over-tightening the width clip attachment screws.
• Check condition of width clip for distortion (especially flatness), and
rough edges.
• Actual thickness of the graft is highly dependent upon operator
technique and the condition of the tissue being harvested. Refer to
section "How To Use The Integra Padgett Electric Dermatome" for
additional details.
• The dermatome mechanism that controls the graft thickness is
factory set to provide proper performance and includes components
that may wear after repeated usage. To correct such issues the
dermatome must be returned to an Integra Padgett Dermatome
Repair Center for service. Annual preventative maintenance is
strongly recommended.
