Colibri II Instructions for Use DePuy Synthes 3
Efciently working cutting tools are the basis for success-
ful surgery. Therefore, it is mandatory to check used cut-
ting tools after every use for wear and/ or damage and to
replace them if necessary. We recommend using new Syn-
thes cutting tools for every surgery. Cutting tools must be
cooled with irrigation liquid to prevent heat necrosis.
The user of the product is responsible for proper use of
the equipment during surgery.
If the Colibri II is used in conjunction with an implant
system, make sure to consult the corresponding “Surgical
Techniques”.
For important information regarding electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC), please refer to the chapter “Electro-
magnetic Compatibility” in this manual.
The tool is classied as type BF against electrical shock
and leakage current. The tool is suitable for use on pa-
tients in accordance with IEC 60601-1.
This system requires regular maintenance service, at least
once a year, in order to maintain its functionality. This
servicehas to be performed by the original manufacturer
or an authorized site.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damage
resulting from neglected or unauthorized maintenance.
Unusual Transmissible Pathogens: Surgical patients iden-
tied as at risk for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and
related infections should be treated with single-use in-
struments. Dispose of the instruments used or suspected
of use on a patient with CJD after surgery and/or follow
the current national recommendations.
Intended use
The Colibri II is designed for the use in traumatology and
orthopedic surgery of the skeleton, i.e. drilling, reaming
or cutting bone.
Safety instructions
The surgeon has to evaluate if the machine is suitable
for an application, based on power limitation of the
machine, attachment and cutting tool regarding bone
strength/anatomical situation as well as handling of the
machine, attachment and cutting tool regarding bone
size. In addition, the contraindications of the implant
have to be respected. Please refer to the corresponding
“Surgical Techniques” of the implant system used.
The Colibri II is only to be used for surgery after careful
consultation of the instructions for use. It is recom-
mended that an alternative system is available to use
during application, as technical problems can never be
completely ruled out.
The Colibri II 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 ammable anes-
thetics and air.
To ensure the proper operation of the tool, only use Syn-
thes original accessories.
Before the 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, Synthes recommends
cleaning, disinfecting and servicing it after each use in ac-
cordance with the process recommended in the chapter
“Care and Maintenance”. Compliance with these speci-
cations can considerably extend the service life of the
tool. Only use Synthes oil (519.970) to lubricate the tool.

4 DePuy Synthes Colibri II Instructions for Use
Precautions:
• To avoid injuries, the locking mechanism of the
tool has to be activated before every manipulation
and before placing the tool back down, i.e. the
mode switch has to be in OFF position.
• The tool must only be operated with a fully
charged battery. To do this, ensure that the battery
is charged in good time. We recommend that the
battery is replaced into the charger immediately
after surgery.
• The aseptic transfer is detailed on page 9ff. Alter-
natively for the Li-Ion battery 532.103 follow the
guidelines provided in the STERRAD®/ V-PRO®
sterilization guide (DSEM/PWT/0591/0081).
No other sterilization methods are allowed.
• Additionally, the batteries must never be washed,
rinsed or dropped. This will destroy the battery
with possible secondary damage (explosion haz-
ard!). Only use original Synthes batteries. Further
information can be found on page 12ff.
• Should the machine drop on the oor and have
visible defects, do not use it anymore and send it to
the Synthes service center.
• If a product drops on the oor, fragments may split
off. This represents a danger for the patient and
user as:
– these fragments may be sharp.
–unsterile fragments may enter the sterile eld or
hit the patient.
• Should the system have corroded parts, do not use
it anymore and send it to the Synthes service center.
Accessories/Scope of delivery
The Colibri II consists of a handpiece, one or several bat-
tery casings and batteries and a range of attachments
and accessories designed for the system.

Before initial use, brand-new tools and accessories must
undergo the entire reprocessing process and the batter-
ies should be charged. Completely remove protective
caps and lms.
Inserting the unsterile battery in the battery casing
The aseptic transfer is detailed below. Alternatively for
the Li-Ion battery 532.103 follow the guidelines provided
in the STERRAD/V-PRO sterilization guide
(DSEM/PWT/0591/0081).
To ensure sterility of the battery casing, 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 ster-
ile battery casing. If the casing is not opened, the
same person presses the central button to unlock
(Fig. 1), turns the lid sideways (90°) as indicated by
the arrow (Fig. 2) and pulls to open (Fig. 3). Leave
the locking mechanism swung outward.
2. The person wearing the sterile garments places the
sterile cover on the battery casing (Fig. 4) and checks
if it is seated correctly. The sterile cover ensures that
the unsterile battery does not contact the outside of
the sterile casing.

Precautions:
• Normally, one battery is sufcient for one surgery.
For safety, two battery packs (battery casing with
the battery) should be kept ready to ensure fast in-
traoperative change of batteries under sterile con-
ditions.
• Do not open a battery casing intraoperatively to in-
sert a new battery. Always replace the whole bat-
tery pack by another battery pack which should
have been prepared before the start of the surgery.
• Sterile battery casings that were in contact with
unsterile batteries during insertion of the batteries
must be resterilized before being used in the OR.
• To close the casing cover, press it rmly to ensure
that it is completely closed (Fig. 9 and 10) so that
the locking mechanism properly engages. Always
check that the cover is totally closed before using
the system.
• Sterilize the sterile cover after each use to ensure
aseptic conditions when inserting the unsterile
battery into the sterile battery casing.
Inserting the battery pack into the power tool
Guide the battery pack (battery casing with inserted
battery) from below into the shaft of the handpiece
(Fig.11). The shape of the battery casing prevents the
battery from being inserted incorrectly. Check if the
battery pack is seated correctly by gently pulling on it.
Removing the battery pack from the power tool
Simultaneously press the release buttons for the battery
casing with one hand (Fig. 12) and use the other hand to
remove the battery pack from the handpiece.

Use
• Only use the battery for its intended use. Do not use
any battery which is not designed for the equipment.
• Only insert the battery pack (battery and battery cas-
ing) in the handpiece directly before using the Colibri II
system. This saves battery energy and prevents having
the need to change it during surgery.
• Do not apply force to the battery and do not let it fall.
This will destroy it with possible secondary damage.
• Never use a damaged or faulty battery; it can damage
the power tool.
• Do not use a faulty or damaged battery, as this may
damage the power tool. Test the status of the battery
using the Universal Battery Charger II.
• If the drive unit is defect (e.g. short-circuited) do not
insert a battery, as this will blow the internal fuse and
cause damage to the battery. Send the drive unit and
battery to the Synthes Service Center.
• Do not use a faulty or damaged battery, as this may
damage the power tool. Test the status of the battery
using the Universal Battery Charger II.
• If the drive unit is defect (e.g. short-circuited) do not
insert a battery, as this will blow the internal fuse and
cause damage to the battery. Send the drive unit and
battery to the Synthes Service Center.
Care and Maintenance
• The batteries must never be washed, rinsed or
dropped. This will destroy the batteries with pos-
sible secondary damage. Cleaning and Disinfec-
tion instructions of the batteries can be found in
the chapter ”Care and Maintenance”.
• The aseptic transfer is detailed on page 9ff. Alter-
natively for the Li-Ion battery 532.103 follow the
guidelines provided in the STERRAD/V-PRO
sterilization guide (DSEM/PWT/0591/0081).
No other sterilization methods are allowed.
Precautions:
• Do not expose batteries to heat or re. Avoid stor-
age in direct sunlight.
• Keep the batteries and the Universal Battery Char-
ger II clean and in a cool and dry place.
• Risk of re, explosion and burns. Do not disassem-
ble, crush, heat above 60°C /140°F or incinerate the
battery cells.
Precautions and warnings concerning
testing, measuring, charging, storing and usage of
Colibri II batteries (532.103)
Testing and Measuring
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Do not try to measure
the short-circuit current. This will blow the internal fuse
of the battery with irreversible damage of the battery.
• Never open or disassemble the battery.
Charging
• Only use the Synthes Universal Battery Charger II
(05.001.204) to charge the battery. The charger should
have a software version of 11.0 or higher. A label
placed on the bottom of the charger enables to
identify the latest software version of the charger.
Never charge the battery in another Synthes charger
or a charger from another manufacturer. This will
damage the battery.
• The batteries should always be charged before use.
• Place the battery into the charger immediately after
surgery.
Storage
• Always recharge the battery after each use. Do not
store an empty battery as this will shorten the life span
and will not be covered by warranty.
• When the battery is not being used, always store it in
the Synthes Universal Battery Charger II and turn the
charging station on. This will avoid the battery from dis-
charging, and it will be fully charged and ready to use.
Never store the battery in another Synthes charger nor
a charger from another manufacturer. This will damage
the battery.
• Never store the battery in the battery casing (532.132)
when it is connected to the Colibri II handpiece
(532.101) as this will discharge the battery.
• When storing batteries, ensure that they are separately
packed and do not store them with materials that
conduct electricity in order to prevent short-circuit.
This could damage the battery and generate heat
which can cause burns.

Oscillating drilling ( ) mode
To protect soft tissue when drilling and inserting
Kirschner wires, the Colibri II has an electronically con-
trolled oscillating mode.
To preset the oscillating mode, switch the mode selector
switch to position.
Pressing the bottom trigger causes the tool to rotate
clockwise as usual. Simultaneously pressing the top and
bottom triggers causes the tool to immediately switch
to oscillating mode. The clamped tool oscillates clock-
wise / anticlockwise. The speed can be changed by
means of the bottom trigger. After the top trigger is re-
leased, the tool returns to normal clockwise rotation.
Precautions:
• Oscillating mode may only be used with
the following attachments:
– AO/ASIF Quick Coupling (05.001.250)
–Chuck (05.001.252, 05.001.253)
– Quick Coupling for Kirschner Wires (532.022)
• Do not use the oscillating mode with the oscillat-
ing saw attachments!

14 DePuy Synthes Colibri II Instructions for Use
The Colibri II system offers a broad range of attach-
ments.
A wide range of rotating attachments has color-coded
rings, so that they can easily be identied. The table on
the next page lists the different types of attachments
available, the color coding as well as the speed of each
attachment.
Mounting the attachments
Insert the attachment into the attachment coupling
(Fig.1). If the positioning pins do not lock into place
