6 Synthes Colibri Instructions for Use
Using the Colibri
Use
Before initial use, brand-new tools and accessories should
undergo the entire reprocessing process, and the batteries
should be charged. Completely remove protective caps
and films.
Inserting the battery in the battery casing
To ensure sterility, the battery is inserted into the battery cas-
ing by two people, one of whom is wearing sterile garments:
1. The person with the sterile garments holds the sterile
battery casing and opens the cover (Fig. 1). Leave the lock-
ing mechanism swung outward.
2. The person wearing the sterile garments places the sterile
cover on the battery casing (Fig. 2) and checks if it is
seated correctly. The sterile cover ensures that the unsterile
battery does not contact the outside of the sterile casing.
3. The person not wearing sterile garments carefully guides
the unsterile battery through the sterile cover and presses
it completely into the battery casing to ensure a correct
seat (Fig. 3 and 4). This person may not contact the out-
side of the battery casing. The shape of the battery
ensures that it is inserted with the correct pole alignment.
4. The person not wearing sterile garments grasps the
flanges on the sterile cover and removes it from the bat-
tery casing (Fig. 5).
5. The person wearing the sterile garments closes the casing
cover from the outside without contacting the battery or
the inside of the casing.
Normally, one battery is sufficient for one surgery. For safety,
two battery packs (battery casing with the battery) should be
kept ready ensuring fast intraoperative changing of batteries
under sterile conditions if necessary.
