Arthrex AR-8330H Shaver Handpiece Analysis Report

Device Identification

The examined visuals show a wired, electronically connected surgical handpiece designed for use in surgical operations. The product is a complete unit with its integrated cable and connector at the end. The ergonomic design of the device and the suction/connection channels at the tip confirm that it is an arthroscopy shaver handpiece.

Brand and Model

A detailed examination of the visuals shows that the laser-etched markings on the device’s body and metal neck part are clearly legible:

• Brand: Arthrex
• Model: AR-8330H

The product body features a prominent “Arthrex” logo and a scissor icon next to it. On the metal connection part, the inscription “AR-8330H” is laser-etched. This code identifies the specific handpiece in the manufacturer’s catalogs.

Originality

The clarity of the laser engravings on the device, the appearance of the material (medical-grade polymer and stainless steel), the symmetry of the logos, and the structural quality of the connector indicate that the product is an original Arthrex equipment. No quality deficiencies (such as burrs, faded lettering, or incompatible color tones) suggesting a counterfeit or aftermarket production have been observed.

Areas of Use

This device is used in orthopedic surgery, particularly in arthroscopy (intra-articular imaging and surgery) procedures. It operates with a compatible Arthrex control unit (console) and appropriate blades/burrs for the resection (shaving) and aspiration of soft tissue, cartilage, or bone fragments within the joint. It is suitable for professional healthcare institutions and orthopedic departments of hospitals.

Quantity Information

The visuals show 1 unit of an integrated wired Shaver Handpiece. The control unit or cutting instruments (blades) required for the device’s operation are not present in the visuals.

General Condition

The product is visually in a “used but clean” condition. It is not in its original packaging and therefore should not be considered a sterile product; sterilization will be required before use. The general cosmetic condition appears to be very good.

Physical Deformation

No deep scratches, cracks, fractures, or significant impact marks have been detected on the device’s outer casing (grey body). The surface texture appears smooth. No discoloration or prominent staining that might result from frequent use is noticeable.

Mechanical Components

The latch/button (the part seen in pink/metallic color) on the body, which likely controls suction or provides a locking mechanism, is in place and appears physically robust. The stainless steel fluid/suction channel inlet and blade insertion slot at the tip of the device are symmetrical and show no signs of bending or crushing.

Electronic Components and Cable Structure

The integrated black cable, one of the most critical parts of the device, extends securely from the handpiece to the connector. There is no visible crushing, breakage, or insulation stripping on the cable. The protective plastics (strain reliefs) at the cable-device and cable-socket connection points are intact; no deformation, such as separation from the cable base, is observed.

Accessories and Connection Points

The metal connector (socket) at the end of the device is designed to be attached to the respective control unit. There are no dents or rust on the metal connector casing. A thin steel cable, appearing to be a metal safety/tether wire or cap chain, is attached to the socket. Although the pin structure (internal part) of the connector cannot be clearly discerned in the photos, its outer casing is clean.

Label and Symbol Information

Permanent laser marking has been applied to the device instead of a label. The information read is as follows:

• AR-8330H: Product reference (catalog) number.
• WEEE Symbol (Crossed-out wheeled bin): A standard electronic waste warning indicating that the device should not be disposed of with normal household waste and is subject to special recycling procedures.
• Symbols: Scissor icon (likely symbolizing its cutting/shaving function).

Potential Malfunction Risk

According to the data obtained from the visuals, no critical damage such as an immediate mechanical breakage or cable disconnection is observed in the product. However, since the device has a used appearance, its sterilization lifespan, the condition of internal motor seals (sealing elements), or the conductivity of electronic pins can only be confirmed through a technical test. No rusting, oxidation, or outer casing cracks posing a “serious risk” were found during the visual inspection. Its condition can be classified as “Good” for its age.
