Intended Use
The OrthoVet PRO is a battery-driven power tool for use in veterinary osteosynthesis involving surgical procedures such as
drilling, burring, reaming, pin and wire placement, cutting of bone and hard tissue in small animals.
The keyless coupling (also used for saw blades) enables the exchange of different attachments in just a few seconds. Operation
of the OrthoVet PRO is possible in clockwise and counterclockwise direction as well as in oscillation cutting operation with
the saw attachment.
Safety Instructions
The surgeon has to assess whether the machine is suitable for the respective surgery on the basis of the performance
limitations of the machine, the ancillary equipment and the cutting tool with respect to bone strength /anatomical situation
as well as the handling of the machine, the attachment and the cutting tool. Furthermore, the contraindications for the
implant must be taken into account. Please read the corresponding “surgical techniques” of the used implant system.
The OrthoVet PRO is only to be used for patient treatment after careful consultation of the instructions for use. It is
recommended that an alternative system is available to use during application,as technical problems can never be completely
ruled out.
The OrthoVet PRO is designed for use by physicians and trained medical personnel.
Do not use any component if damage is apparent.
Do not use any component if the packaging is damaged.
Do not use this equipment in the presence of oxygen, nitrous oxide or a mixture consisting of fl ammable anesthetics and air.
To ensure the proper operation of the tool, only use EICKEMEYER® original accessories.
Before the fi rst and every subsequent use, power tools and their accessories / attachments have to run through the complete
reprocessing procedure. Protective covers and foils must be fully removed before sterilization.
For the tool to function properly, EICKEMEYER® recommends cleaning and servicing it after each use in accordance with the
process recommended in the chapter “Care and Maintenance”. Compliance with these specifi cations can considerably extend
the service life of the tool. Only use EICKEMEYER® oil / oil spray, (item no. 563706) to lubricate the tool.
Effi ciently working cutting tools are the basis for successful surgery. Therefore, it is mandatory to check used cutting tools

Use
Before initial use, brand-new tools and accessories must under go the entire reprocessing process and the batteries should
be charged.
Inserting the Battery in the Battery Casing
To ensure sterility, the battery is inserted into the battery casing by two people, one of whom is wearing sterile garments.
1. The person with the sterile garments holds the sterile battery casing. If the casing is not opened, the same person
presses the central button to unlock (Fig. 3) and the housing cover with slide (Fig. 4) in arrow direction (Fig.6)
and opens the lid. In doing so, fold the lid outwards with the locking mechanism.
Figure 3 Figure 5 Figure 6Figure 4
2. The person wearing the sterile garments places the sterile funnel (Item no. 195008) on the battery casing (Fig. 7) and
checks if it is seated correctly (Fig. 8). The sterile cover ensures that the unsterile battery does not contact the outside of
the sterile casing.
Figure 7 Figure 8
3. The person not wearing sterile garments carefully guides the unsterile battery through the sterile funnel
(itemno.95008), (Fig. 8). The orientation of the battery is correct when the battery is inserted into the corresponding
profi le in the handpiece (Fig.9). The same person presses it completely into the battery casing to ensure a correct seat
(Fig. 10). This person may not contact the outside of the battery casing.
Figure 10Figure 9

4. The person not wearing sterile garments grasps the sterile cover funnel (Item no. 195008) and removes it from the battery
casing (Fig. 11).
Figure 11
5. The person wearing the sterile garments closes the casing lid from the outside without touching the battery or the inside
of the casing (Fig. 12 + 13). After the cover has been closed, the person wearing the sterile clothing pushes the slider in
the direction until the lid locks with a click.
Figure 12 Figure 13
Precautions
Normally, one battery is suffi cient for one surgery. For safety, two batteries should be kept ready ensuring fast intraoperative
changing of batteries under sterile conditions if necessary.
Charging
Only charge the batteries in the OrthoVet PRO charging station (Item no. 195006).
Always fully charge batteries before use in the OR.
The battery is fully charged as soon as the indicator lamp on the socket plug has changed from BLUE to GREEN.
Storing
When not in use, always store the battery in the OrthoVet PRO charging station and switch it on. This prevents the battery
from being discharged and keeps it ready for use with full charge. Never load batteries in another charging station.This would
damage the batteries.
Make sure that stored batteries are stored separately and do not store with materials that can conduct electricity to prevent
short circuits. This could damage the battery and cause burns due to heat.
Use
Use the battery only as intended. Use only batteries approved for this device. Only insert the battery into the handpiece
immediately before using the OrthoVet PRO System.This saves energy. Due to the longer battery life an intraoperative battery
change is usually unnecessary. Do not drop batteries or apply force to the batteries. This would destroy the battery and cause
possible additional damage. Never use damaged or faulty batteries; they can damage the power tool.
Additional Information
Do not expose batteries to heat or fi re. Avoid storage in direct sunlight. Keep the charger and the batteries clean and in a cool
and dry place. Danger of fi re, explosion and burns. Do not disassemble, crush, heat to over 60 °C / 140 °F or burn.

Figure 16
Precautions
• Check the cutting tool for wear and/or damage after each use and replace if necessary.
• To ensure good fi xation of the tools, make sure the toothed rims on the drill chuck and key are not worn.
• During reaming procedure, high torque values must be provided by the power tool to the reaming head to allow effi cient
bone removal. In cases where the reaming head suddenly is blocked, these high torque values can be transferred onto the
user’s hand, wrist and / or the patient’s body.
In order to prevent injuries it therefore is essential that:
• The power tool is held in an ergonomical position with a fi rm grip.
• If the reamer / drill head blocks, release the speed trigger immediately.
• Use the Jacobs Chuck with Reverse motion only with tools that are approved for such use. Otherwise, the tool may break
with subsequent damage.

Change Saw Blade
1. Set the handpiece in “S = STOP”-position.
2. Press down the locking knob continuously.
3. Lift and remove the saw blade.
4. Use a slight amount of pressure to insert the new saw blade and turn it to one of the 5 desired position.
5. Place your thumb on the saw blade coupling to hold the saw blade. Insert the saw blade in such a way that the perforated
holes in the saw blade fi t in the pins of the holder. Release the locking knob.
6. Unlock the power tool.
Positioning the Saw Blade
The saw blade can be adjusted in the desired position vertically and horizontally at an angle of 45° (see the earlier sections
“Positioning the saw attachment” and “Changing the saw blade” (Fig. 22).
Figure 22
Using the Oscillating Saw Attachment
The saw blade must already be oscillating when the saw is applied to the bone. Do not apply strong pressure to the saw blade
as this will delay the cutting process and the saw teeth will catch in the bone. Optimal saw performance is achieved by
moving the power tool slightly back and forth in the plane of the saw blade so that the blade oscillates beyond the bone on
both sides. Very precise cuts can be made when the saw blade is guided steadily. Imprecise cuts arise due to used blades,
excess pressure or jamming the saw blade.
