1. PHACO HANDPIECE
REPAIR PROCEDURE
Each handpiece has a cord, connector, and multiple internal components.
Failure of one item will cause the entire handpiece to fail. We can identify a
damaged cord, connector, or housing by a visual inspection. However, for
all other problems we must disassemble the handpiece and evaluate the
internal components to determine the cause(s) of failure. Also, many
handpieces with cord, connector, or housing problems also have damaged
internal components, which cannot be detected until the repair is performed.
In order to replace any component (including connector or cord) the entire
handpiece must be completely taken apart and re-assembled. The internal
components, wire, and connector all break down over time. To replace one
component without replacing the other components will lead to repeated
handpiece failures (and repairs) as the remaining parts break down. To
avoid multiple handpiece failures we perform a comprehensive
cleaning/repair procedure.
When a handpiece is repaired it begins by being completely disassembled
into its individual component parts. This involves removing the transducer
assembly from the housing. The transducer is subsequently disassembled
and the replaceable parts are discarded. The other transducer components
and housings are inspected, assigned lot control and cleaned ultrasonically.
The transducer is reassembled using new parts and tested. The transducer
assembly is mated to a tested connector/cable assembly. This
transducer/cable assembly is again tested. The transducer/cable assembly is
then put back into the housing. The completed hanpiece is then autoclaved
and re–tested prior to packaging and shipment. The results of the testing
performed both in-process and at final assembly, are documented in Device
History Records per the ISO standard.
