• Do not bend shaver blades or use them for prying. Excessive pressure
on them may cause it to break and may cause harm to the patient and
operating-room staff. Broken pieces may also enter the surgical site,
where they will be difficult to remove.
• Running arthroscopic shaver blades at speeds greater than 6000 RPM
may result in particulate generation.
• To avoid possible user injury, never attempt to change the blade while
the handpiece is running.
• For Formula® handpieces use only Formula® arthroscopic shaver blades
(375-XXX-XXX, 380-XXX-XXX, 385-XXX-XXX) and Crossfire™ Xtreme
arthroscopic shaver blades (475-XXX-XXX, 480-XXX-XXX, and
485-XXX-XXX). Using unapproved blades may cause unexpected results.
For a complete list of shaver blades, contact your Stryker representative
or Stryker customer service.
• For TPS Small Joint handpiece, use only small joint shaver blades
(275-627-000, 275-637-000, 275-628-000, 275-638-000, 275-641-000,
275-647-000). Using unapproved shaver blades may cause unexpected
results. For a complete list of shaver blades, contact your Stryker
representative or Stryker customer service.
• Do not modify shaver blades in any way. Modifying shaver blades
may cause product damage and personal injury to the patient and
operating-room staff. Broken pieces may also enter the surgical site,
where they will be difficult to remove.
• Avoid contacting shaver blades with metal objects. Do not insert metal
objects in the shaver blade window. If shaver blades contact metal
objects, they may break, leaving pieces in the surgical site where they
will be difficult to remove.
