2.1 Intended use
The ELAN 4 electro control unit GA800 together with the accessory forms
an electrically operated motor system.
The ELAN 4 electro control unit GA800 supplies the energy and monitors
the motors in the ELAN 4 electro applied parts. The control unit receives
the speed request via the hand or foot control. The direction of rotation is
preselected by means of the foot control buttons, by means of the display
when using a hand control and by means of the pushers for the drill tool.
The purpose of the integrated coolant and irrigation pump is to deliver
coolant or irrigation fluid to the operating field for cooling the tool and
tissue or irrigating the operating field. It is activated via the buttons on the
foot control or via the display.
2.2 Application Environment
The motor system fulfills the requirements of Type BF in accordance with
IEC/DIN EN 60601-1.
For use in operating rooms, outside of the explosive hazard zone (e.g. areas
with highly pure oxygen or anesthetic gases).
2.3 Indications
The ELAN 4 Electro Motor System is intended for high speed cutting, saw-
ing, and drilling of bone in the fields of Spine, ENT, Neuro, and Maxillofa-
cial Surgery.
2.4 Contraindications

4.3 Operating principle
4.3.1 Control unit
The ELAN 4 electro control unit 1is designed for main voltage ranges of
100 V~ to 120 V~ and 220 V~ to 240 V~ from 50 Hz to 60 Hz. The mains
voltage is converted into safety extra low voltage for supplying the micro
motors in the applied parts.
The control unit features two connection sockets for applied parts for con-
necting two different applied parts, and has one connection socket for a
foot control. Only one applied part can be operated at a time.

4.3.4 Applied part types
The control unit recognizes the different types of applied parts (motors and
handpieces). These are shown in the display as a combination of symbol
and text. The size and display depend on which socket the applied part is
connected to and whether the applied part is active or locked.
4.3.5 Identification of control elements on system components
Control elements on the system components of the ELAN 4 electro motor
system are labeled with a gold marking.
4.3.6 Recognition of connected motor cable and applied part
The settings (upper speed limit, pump status and delivery volume) last
selected with this application part type on this bushing are retrieved upon
inserting the same application part type.
When several different hand/foot controls are connected to the control
unit, they are prioritized in the following order (higher items have priority
over lower):
■Hand controls GA804/GA805 or drill tool GA844
■Foot control GA808
■GA810 wireless foot control
4.3.7 Overload protection
To protect the micro motors in the applied parts against damage from
overheating, the motor temperature is monitored. If the temperature is too
high a warning signal sounds and a thermometer symbol appears in the
display 2.
If the temperature continues to be too high, the applied part is switched
off. The following message appears in the display 2: “The motor currently
being used is overheating. Please let the motor cool down or use another
suitable motor”.
After a cooling phase the applied part can be reactivated.
It is recommended to have a second applied part ready at hand.
4.3.8 Coolant and irrigation pump
The control unit is equipped with a coolant and irrigation pump 3.
The pump can be activated either in the corresponding pump control panel
or via the corresponding button on the foot control. It can be started by
activating the motor or via the “Flush” function (continuous flushing). The
delivery rate can only be adjusted via the pump control panel.

9.1 Display error messages
Faults that are recognized by the control unit are shown as error messages
in the display.
There are three types of error messages:
■System error (text in red field): It is not possible to work with the con-
trol unit or system.
■Accessory error (text in yellow field): It is possible to work with a dif-
ferent component.
■Operating error (text in blue field): It is possible to work with the sys-
tem after rectifying the cause of the error.
Note
Many faults cannot be clearly categorized. They can be caused by an oper-
ating error or an accessory error. In such cases, an operating error is
assumed first, to avoid any unnecessary changing or sending in of new
products.
