Zimmer Air Dermatome II Bedienungsanleitung Seite 5

AFTER THE PROCEDURE
Before removing the dermatome from the regulator:
• Close the tank valve, if applicable.
• Turn the regulator knob until the pressure reads zero.
• Activate the dermatome to bleed off the line pressure.
• Remove the hose from the Zimmer Air Dermatome II.
• Remove the hose from the regulator. The end of the hose should be held securely when disengaging the fitting to
prevent possible damage to the diffuser when the hose is disconnected.
• Remove the used blade (see BLADE REMOVAL section) and dispose of properly in a designated sharps
container or per hospital protocol.
• Remove excess body fluids and tissue with a disposable, non-shedding wipe and cover with a damp cloth. Body
fluids and tissue should not be allowed to dry on instruments prior to cleaning.
• Return and secure instrument, hose, width plates and screwdriver to instrument case for transport and cleaning.
BLADE REMOVAL
• Loosen the width plate screw using the Dermatome II screwdriver. Do not remove the screw from the device.
• To remove the width plate, hold both sides of the width plate and slide/lift forward and up (see figure 7A-C). Do
not lift from the front as this will cause contact with the blade and possible injury.
• Replace the blade cover over one end of the blade assembly and snap it down onto other end of the blade
assembly (preferred, see figure 7K), or remove the blade assembly carefully by lifting up from under the blade
assembly using the finger access area (see figure 7L).
• Dispose of used blade in a sharps container or per hospital protocol.
CLEANING PRECAUTIONS
All subsequent cleaning and sterilization steps are facilitated by not allowing blood, tissue debris, or disinfectants to dry
on used instruments.
