WARNINGS
The harvester is a disposable component and is intended for single use only. Re-use of disposable
components may result in contamination and infection.
PRECAUTIONS
Inspect the CelluTome™ Epidermal Harvesting System before use for signs of visible damage. Do not use
if there are any indications of damage.
Harvest from areas of healthy intact skin (donor site).
Actuating the harvester handle prior to complete microdome formation may result in patient pain and /
or bleeding.
Actuating the harvester handle prior to placement of the 3M™ Tegaderm™ Film may result in an inability
to secure the micrografts for application.
Wipe the vacuum head and the control unit nest following institutional procedures used for cleaning
and disinfection of other hard surface durable electronic medical equipment between each patient use.
Inadequate cleaning may result in patient contamination.
Use the harvester only with the CelluTome™ Epidermal Harvesting System control unit and vacuum
head.
Discard all disposable items (harvester and 3M™ Tegaderm™ Film) in accordance with local medical waste
disposal regulations.
Handle the vacuum head with care. Do not drop the vacuum head, as doing so could damage the glass
warming window. Do not suspend or hold the vacuum head by the tubing.
Reversible maceration at the recipient site is a potential risk. Please use best clinical judgement for
preventing maceration. Fenestration of the 3M™ Tegaderm™ Film with an 18g needle prior to application
onto the recipient site may be appropriate.
