Manual for Conmed D3000 orthopedic drill
 

Can anyone please provide a link to a manual for a controller
unit for orthopedic drills by Conmed-Linvatec - at least a user
manual? The model is Advantage D3000.

I live in a remote state in India and am closely associated with
many of the medical people here, including the senior orthopedic
surgeon in the main government hospital. According to him, the
controller console was damaged during a severe power surge in his
absence. The unit still powers on and the text display panel
works, but the drill does not. There are two rows of 8 DIP
switches each at the back of the console with no indication of
their function.

A perennial source of frustration for these doctors is the
convoluted process of obtaining equipment which often involves
graft and more than one middle man. This orthopedic drill was no
exception. The end price was probably exorbitant and it was
supplied without even a user manual. The only info I've found
online is the corporate website of the company and there's scant
information about their products.

sci.med would be a better forum
