1.1 Intended Use
The E9000 System is a combination
handpiece-drive and low-flow irrigation pump.
The controller operates a variety of handpieces
consisting of drills, shavers, and saws, in
conjunction with assorted attachments to
perform bone cutting, reaming and drilling, and
soft tissue resection.
The irrigation pump and tubing sets provide a
sterile fluid supply to the blades, burs and drill
bits, at the surgical site, to prevent clogging and
for lavage and cooling.
The Advantage Drive System combines
the functionality of the APEX®Drive
System, the E9000 System and the PRO2000
PowerPro System into one unit. The top portion
of the controller is a combination
handpiece-drive and low-flow irrigation pump
that operates a variety of handpieces consisting
of drills, shavers, and saws, in conjunction with
assorted attachments to perform bone cutting,
reaming and drilling, and soft tissue resection.
The bottom portion of the controller functions as a
universal electric power source for an instrument
system consisting of drills, shavers, saws and
assorted modular attachments. This portion is
designed for soft tissue resection, trauma
procedures, total hip/knee arthroplasty, and ACLs.
The PowerPro Controller functions as a universal
electric power source for an instrument system
consisting of drills, shavers, saws and assorted
modular attachments to perform bone cutting,
reaming, drilling and driving screws, as well as
soft tissue resection. The System combines the
existing quality and capabilities of unprecedented
control and superior reliability of the
MicroChoice®System, designed for small-bone
procedures, and the power and functionality of the
APEX®Shaver System, designed for soft tissue
resection, with the PowerPro handpieces to

subsequent re-use may adversely affect the
performance, safety and/or sterility of the
device.
7. Disposable shaver blades and burs
are sterile and for single-use ONLY.
DO NOT resterilize or reuse. After
use, dispose of properly.
8. The ability to effectively clean and
re-sterilize this single use device
has not been established and
subsequent re-use may adversely affect the
performance, safety and/or sterility of the
device.
9. After use, shaver blades, burs and tubing
sets may be a potential biohazard and
should be handled in accordance with
acceptable medical practice and applicable
local and national requirements.
10. Do not use equipment if, upon
receipt, package is opened,
damaged, or shows any signs of
tampering.
11. Do not use shaver blade or bur if they show
any signs of damage.
12. When using blades and burs avoid
excessive lateral force as breakage may
occur.
13. Do not use sterile equipment after
expiration date.
14. Continually check all handpieces and
attachments for overheating. If overheating
is sensed, immediately discontinue use and
return equipment for service. Overheating
can lead to patient injury or (burn).
15. Bur and neuro guards should be checked
frequently. Overheating can occur if bur
guard bearings are worn or not kept clean.
Overheating can lead to patient burn injury.
Bur and neuro guards are to be returned to
the factory or a ConMed Linvatec
authorized service facility for routine
maintenance every six (6) months.
16. Perform the following steps to verify
guards are in good operating condition:
(a) Remove the guard from the handpiece
and insert a bur into the nose of the
guard.
(b) While holding the bur, spin the guard.
The guard should spin freely around
the bur shaft without resistance.
(c) Attach the guard and bur to the
handpiece.
(d) Operate the handpiece for
approximately 30 seconds. Stop the
handpiece and carefully feel the end of
the guard where the guard encases the
shaft of the bur for overheating. If
overheating is noticed, return guard for
service.

void the warranty. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside.
3. Use only associated ConMed Linvatec
attachments and accessories (saw blades,
bits, etc.) as defined within the descriptions
of each attachment.
4. All associated Tubing Sets are
latex free.
5. Tubing sets contain the phthalate
plasticizer DEHP, which may
leach into the patient during
administration of irrigant. Animal
studies have shown that high-level expo-
sure to DEHP may affect male fertility and
reproductive development; these findings
have not been confirmed in clinical studies.
In determining use of this device in a child,
or a pregnant or nursing female, the clinical
benefits should outweigh any potential risk
to the infant.
6. Handle all equipment carefully. If any
equipment is dropped or damaged in any
way, return it immediately for service.
7. Prior to each use, perform the following:
• Inspect all equipment for proper
operation.
• Ensure all attachments and accessories
are correctly and completely attached
to the handpiece.
• Perform the required Performance
Tests for each associated handpiece
prior to each use.
8. Do not excessively bend or kink the instru-
ment handpiece cord or power cord.
Always inspect cords for signs of excessive
wear or damage, or bent, broken or missing
pins within the connector(s). If any wear
or damage is found, discontinue use and
replace immediately.
9. Do not handle the controller, handpieces or
footswitch by the cord. Do not pull on the
cord to remove it from the handpiece or
controller.
10. Never operate the MicroChoice®Elite™
High Speed Drill (5020-025) Medium
Speed Drill (5020-021) or the CoolFlex®
LATEX

5
High Speed Drill (E9010) without a bur and
appropriate bur guard in place and the col-
let locked. Damage will occur.
11. Running the shaver blade or bur without
fluid flow (dry) may cause damage to the
device.
12. Ensure the optical cassette sensor next to
the pump cassette mechanism is kept clean
at all times.
13. Do not stall handpieces, damage can occur.
14. Always inspect for bent, dull or
damaged burs, blades or drill bits
before each use. Do not attempt to
straighten or sharpen. Do not use if dam-
aged. After use, dispose of properly.
15. Always use a bur of the proper length for
the particular guard.
16. Direct contact of the rotating cutting edge
of shaver blades and burs with metallic sur-
faces and/or other hard surfaces such as
arthroscopes, cannulas, or other instruments
can cause damage to the devices. If contact
does occur, shaver blades can break, seize,
or shed metal particles. Shaver blade or bur
should be examined for damage and
replaced if necessary.
17. Do not apply excessive loading on the
shaver blade or bur. Cutting performance is
not increased with force. Excessive force or
using shaver blades or burs as a lever can
cause damage to the device including per-
manent deformation, shedding of metal
(wear), and seizure.
18. If shaver blade clogs, use ConMed Linvatec
Declogger (E9315) to declog shaver blade.
Shaver blades or burs may also be dec-
logged by removing inner assembly from
outer assembly and clearing any tissue from
the window or aspiration hole. DO NOT
disassemble Prebent Shaver Blades with
catalog number ending in “M” or “MT” (i.e.,
C9299M and 42ULT-ZZ-MT).
19. United States Federal law
restricts sale of this device to or
on the order of a physician.
20. After each use, thoroughly clean the con-
troller, handpieces, attachments and acces-
sories (See “4.1 Cleaning and Sterilizing”
on page 118).
