check the insert integrity, in particular on

WARNING: The PIEZOSURGERY plus
device is intended for bone surgery.
However, prolonged contact and/or
excessive force of the instrument tip on soft
tissues should be avoided as this may cause
thermal and/or blunt injury. Take particular
care when sharp inserts are used. Prolonged
mechanical action of a sharp insert may also
result in the soft tissue being cut. In close
proximity to soft tissues/nerves (e.g. the
perinevrium of the peripheral nerve system,

it is recommended to complete the cut

to minimize the potential for soft tissue
damage.
