Product Description and Intended Use

The Arthrex AR-8305 Synergy Resection Shaver System is a motorized,

suction/cutting device used for the resection and aspiration of soft tissue,

cartilage and bone during arthroscopic surgical procedures.

The console is microprocessor controlled and features two fully functional

channels that allow optional simultaneous handpiece operation. Both channels

can be operated with a single foot switch or individually when a second foot

switch is attached to the console. The Synergy Resection has a maximum speed

of 8,000 revolutions per minute providing precise burr control during surgical

procedures.

The Synergy Resection console is designed for continuous operation. The

handpieces are individually protected by a resetting thermal fuse. In the event of

a motor overload fault (e.g., excess current) the fuse heats up and the device is

deactivated. When the fault is removed and the fuse cools down (typically about

30 seconds) operation resumes at the pre-failure settings.

The cable and all handpieces can be sterilized, so handpieces can be changed

during the surgical procedure without endangering surgical sterility.
