CAUTION: Removing the dermatome's cutting head from the motor housing will result
in exposing the oscillating pin and motor drive shaft. The contour of the oscillating pin is
factory set to provide proper dermatome performance. Care must be taken in handling the
motor housing in this state. Dropping the motor housing or hitting the oscillating pin can
cause damage that will result in the instrument being out of calibration upon re-assembly.
3. Rinse: After the enzymatic detergent manufacturer's recommended soak period, remove
dermatome's cutting head, width clips, and screw fasteners from the detergent solution and
thoroughly rinse the items with tap water.
4. Clean Instruments: Prepare a cleaning solution appropriate for surgical instruments
(e.g., ASP ENZOL) as per the manufacturer's instructions. Using a small clean soft-bristled
brush, remove soil from all surfaces of the dermatome's cutting head, width clips, guard,
and screw fasteners while they are submerged in the solution. Take particular care in
removing soils from the dermatome's cutting head features containing crevices and sharp
inside corners. Clean the dermatome's motor housing by wiping with a soft clean cloth
moistened with the detergent solution. Pay special attention to removing soil from the area
of the oscillating pin and drive shaft. Clean the air hose by wiping with a soft clean cloth
moistened with the detergent solution.
5. Rinse: Thoroughly rinse all dermatome components under gently running tap water and
wipe with a dry, soft, clean cloth. Do not immerse the dermatome components.
6. Final Rinse: Rinse all dermatome components with softened or deionized water. Softened
or deionized water should be used for the final rinse to better remove detergents and other
residues from the rinse water. Excessively hard water can spot or stain instruments. Excess
chlorine in the rinse water can result in pitting.
7. Visual Inspection and Dermatome Assembly: Visually inspect the dermatome
components for cleanliness and ensure all components are in proper working order.

9. Wrap Dermatome for Sterilization: The guard, width clips, and the width clip attachment
screws are not to be assembled to the dermatome in preparation for sterilization. Prepare
the dermatome hand piece, guard, width clips, width clips fasteners, and air hose for
sterilization using a wrapper that is appropriate for the method of sterilization to be used.
The oscillating pin recess at the blade nest of the dermatome's cutting head is to face
downward to expedite drainage of potential condensate if a steam sterilization method is to
be employed.
10. Sterilization: Utilize one of the validated methods of sterilization outlined in the sterilization
section.

8. Assemble the unit by aligning the holes in the motor
housing flange with the threaded studs of the cutting head.
Note that the thumbswitch on the motor housing is to be
positioned on the top of the unit. Tip the motor housing
to create sufficient clearance to carefully slide the motor
housing drive shaft into the cutting head. Replace and tighten
the two hex nuts using the dermatome wrench. Check the
unit calibration (see page 7) after assembly.
