Cleaning Recommendations

Instruments must be cleaned and sterilized before first and
every use.

IMPORTAN T : Before cleaning, disassemble instrument com­ponents, including the removal of burs, blades, cords, cut­ters, handswitches, and attachments from the handpieces.

WARNING: DO NOT use solvents, lubricants, or other

chemicals, unless otherwise specified. The use of such materials
may cause the instruments to malfunction or leak foreign materi­als during use which may result in contact with the surgical site.

CAUTION: DO NOT immerse any TPS components or run through
a washer/sterilizer.

Console

1. Lightly wipe surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with a non­abrasive, standard disinfectant or mild detergent and water.
Avoid getting moisture in any openings.

2. Clean the display screen with glass cleaner applied to a soft
cloth. Never use aerosol sprays directly on the screen.

Footswitch

1. Wipe footswitch with mild detergent and rinse with water.

2. If electrical connector gets wet, carefully dry with a lint free
cloth. If available, forced air drying is preferred.
NOTE: If immersed, water will seep into footswitch. Drain
water through cord bushing while repeatedly depressing
pedals to facilitate drainage.

Handpiece Cords
Universal Handswitch

1. Wipe clean with a mild detergent and water or alcohol.

2. Extend finger rest of handswitch to clean all surfaces.

3. Rinse with water.

4. Dry with a lint-free towel. If available, forced air drying is pre­ferred. Use caution not to bend pins in connectors.

Handpieces

 All Stryker Endoscopy handpieces:

Refer to the care, maintenance and sterilization
instructions supplied with those handpieces.

CAUTION: DO NOT allow water to run into the distal end of the

handpiece or into electrical connections.

1. Wipe handpiece clean with a lint-free cloth, mild detergent,
Ivory® soap, or surgical instrument cleaning solution and water.
Use a stiff bristle brush to remove debris from the distal end of
the handpiece.
 MicroDriver:
Use a stiff bristle brush to remove debris from
the cannula. Wipe surfaces with a water moist­ened lint-free cloth to wipe away cleaning so­lution.

2. Dry with a lint-free cloth. Pay special attention to electrical
connections. If available, forced air drying is preferred.

NOTE: TPS handpieces do not require lubrication.

CAUTION: Handle Dura Guards with extreme caution. Use care
to prevent damage to foot. Ensure debris is cleaned out of the
recess inside the foot.

1. Clean with a brush or sponge, and mild detergent, such as
Ivory® soap, or a surgical instrument cleaning solution.

2. Use a stiff bristle brush inside cannula and flush with running
water.

3. Dry with a lint free towel. If available, forced air drying is pre­ferred.

NOTE: Some instruments require specific instructions, as

WARNING: DO NOT lubricate TPS handpieces

lubricated and should not be lubricated during maintenance.
Additional lubrication may cause handpieces to overheat and
cause burn injury to the patient and/or user. Additional
lubrication may also leak from the handpiece during use and
contact the surgical site.

Right Angle Head Attachment

Before each sterilization, lubricate the TPS Right Angle
Attachment with Stryker TPS Lubricant REF 51 10-901-900.

Other lubricants and cleansers leave residue and reduce power
transmission.

NOTE: Lubricate with head and reducer assembled.

1. Place attachment over the nozzle, push firmly and twist until
it snaps into place.

2. Tug to ensure it is secure.

Expect substantial pressure from the can when spray
button is depressed. If not secure, the pressure will
forcefully eject the attachment from the nozzle.

Never release the attachment from the can upon release of
button. Att achment must be kept in place until dispersant
ceases to flow from the head.

3. Hold the can upright and
spray for approximately 3
seconds. Spray will disperse
from the openings in the
head (A).

4. Remove head from reducer
and flush the reducer with 3
blasts of spray for approx. 2
seconds per blast (B).

5. Retract the collar and remove attachment. Wipe away
excess lubricant.

6. Reassemble reducer and head before sterilization.

IMPORTANT INFORMA TION

 Universal Handswitch REF 5100-9
CAUTION: Remove the Universal Handswitch from the

handpiece prior to sterilization. If it remains attached, its
band will stretch and no longer fasten to the handpieces.

NOTE: The maximum expected life of the Universal
Handswitch is 100 sterilization cycles.

 Sagittal Att achment REF 5100-10-34

WARNING: When using the TPS method of

sterilization, remove the blade mount screw to
ensure proper sterilization.

To obt ain optimum performance from the instruments and help
prevent damage, the following sterilization procedures must
be followed.

Handpieces, cords, attachments, and accessories must be steril­ized before first and every use.

6

Separate attachments, cutting accessories and cords from hand­pieces prior to sterilization.

Use only the sterilization methods recommended below. Other
methods can damage handpieces and cause instruments to over­heat resulting in injury to patient and/or O.R. staff.

Failure to follow recommended dry times can cause moisture to
accumulate inside the handpieces that could result in overheat­ing and may cause burn injury to patient and/or user.

CAUTION: DO NOT sterilize console or footswitch.
NOTE: To ensure comfortable operating temperature, allow

handpiece to cool to room temperature after sterilization.

Maintenance Recommendations

ing order and that there are no loose or missing components. Be
aware of unusual sounds or vibrations and note operating speed.
Check all moving parts for free movement. DO NOT use instru­ments if damage is apparent.

CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to service any system component.
In the USA, refer calibration, operating difficulties and scheduled
maintenance activities to your Stryker Representative or Stryker
Customer Service. Outside the USA, contact the nearest Stryker
subsidiary.

WARNING: Inspect handpieces to assure proper work-

Periodic Maintenance Schedule

ACTIVITY INTERVAL

Run handpiece* for 1 minute 3 months
to determine temperature. If
the distal tip and body of the handpiece become
uncomfortably hot to touch (approx. 110°F), return the
instrument for service.

*NOTE: The Universal Drill should be checked with each
attachment and a bur.

Using a safety analyzer, check
and compare the leakage current,
ground impedance and current draw with the limits
specified in UL 2601-1 and IEC 60601-1 standards.
