Warnings for All Tips
Warning
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
Warning
Touching of the tip of the handpiece by the
operator, while powered, can result in personal
injury.
Warning
When the handpiece is powered on, contact of the
tip with a hard surface (e.g. a metal instrument
tray, staples, clips, instruments, etc.) may damage
the tip of the handpiece and require replacement
before use.
Warning
CUSA Excel tips utilize silicone flues. Compressing
the flue against the side of the vibrating surface
along the length of the tip can cause excessive
heating and potential hazard to adjacent tissue,
such as burns.
Warning
Excessive loading of CUSA Excel Tips at the
surgical site can induce heating due to vibration
and acoustic power transmission. Thermal
management of the surgical site with the aid of
appropriate irrigation and aspiration settings is
essential.
