Troubleshooting (continued):
A pin position guide is included with the dermatome complete kit and can be ordered as an
accessory (part #3539259). This guide is intended to determine if the oscillating pin, which
moves the blade, is properly positioned. If the oscillating pin is not properly positioned,
the blade may "chatter" or "skip," yielding unsatisfactory results. Prior to each use, the
dermatome should be checked using the pin position guide to confirm that the dermatome
oscillating pin is properly positioned.
The pin position guide should be inserted between the oscillating pin and the base of the
blade guide (as shown in the diagram). This can be done from the right. If the oscillating pin
lies anywhere within the zone clearly marked on the guide, the dermatome's oscillating pin is
properly positioned. If the pin lies on the edge or outside the zone, the dermatome should
not be used, and should be sent to an Integra Padgett Dermatome Repair Center (IPDRC) for
service. The pin position check procedure is important because rough handling, dropping the
dermatome, or inadvertently hitting the oscillating pin may cause the oscillating pin not to be
properly positioned.
Using the Pin Position Guide (3539259)
Hold the Guide in your Right hand with the Integra logo facing
up. Lower the LEFT side of the Guide Slot over the Oscillating Pin
and against the top of the Blade Guides.
Gently slide the Pin Position Guide to the LEFT until the
Oscillating Pin touches the BOTTOM edge of the Guide Slot.
If the Oscillating Pin lies anywhere between the two vertical
lines, the dermatome's oscillating pin is properly positioned for
optimum performance.
