Product / User / Disposal:
Electrosurgery accessories may only be used and disposed of by qualified medical per-
sonnel!
Notwithstanding these instructions, reading the instructions for use provided with the elec-
trosurgery device and other accessories being used is mandatory.
a Not sterile. Must be cleaned and sterilized prior to initial and each subsequent use.
Intended use:
Bipolar forceps for grasping, coagulating, and cutting soft tissue during minimally invasive
surgical procedures.
Service life:
Up to 20 reconditioning cycles can be expected with proper use. This depends on the inten-
sity of use and the applied parameters.
Electrosurgery cables:
The Sutter bipolar forceps are intended for use with bipolar silicone cables with US male
connector or European flat connector from the manufacturer Sutter Medizintechnik GmbH.
Components (FIG A):
1 Moveable jaw part
2a Shaft
2b Rotary knob for 360° rotation
3 Push button
4 Plug
5 Moveable handle part
6 Rigid handle part
7 Electrode insert (including jaw part)
8 Insulating tube
Before using:
a Inspect the product for cleanliness, mechanical function, and intact insulation before
each use.
We recommend checking the insulation with a suitable test device.
a Only use sterilized products that are in flawless condition!
A certain discoloration of the non-stick instrument tip is normal and harmless.
To connect the forceps and cables, the electrosurgery device must be turned off or in
standby mode. Failure to comply may lead to burns and electric shocks!
For further information about electrical safety, we recommend DIN EN 60601-2-2 supple-
ment 1.
Assembly (FIG B):
B1: Slide the insulating tube (8) onto the shaft (2a).
B2: Slide the electrode insert (7) into the shaft (2a) to the stop.
B3: Grasp the rotary knob (2b) and firmly tighten the electrode insert (7) to the stop with
approximately six turns. The thread should turn easily, no canting.
a Do not hold the electrode insert (7) on the (moveable) jaw part (1).
B4: Close the jaw tips, holding them closed with the fingers if necessary. For easier insertion
of the shaft, press the push button (3). Hold the handle as illustrated so the moveable handle
part (5) easily falls or can be brought into the rear position.
Leave the moveable handle part (5) in the rear position, without holding it.
Slide the shaft (2a) with electrode insert (7) straight into the handle. The handle part returns
to the normal position, the push button engages.
It must be possible to rotate the rotary knob (2b) by 360°. The jaw part (1) must be easy to
open and close when operating the handle part.
Properly connect the instrument, only to the bipolar output of the electrosurgery device.
B5: Perform a brief functional test prior to use:
Select medium output or 30–40 watts of power on the electrosurgery device, clamp three
layers of damp mull in the jaw parts and activate the current. With correct functioning, some
steam is produced after 2–3 seconds.
a Do not touch the tips! The jaw parts may be hot!
During use:
Always work with the lowest output setting for the desired surgical effect.
a Maximum allowable voltage 650 Vp
Max. output settings:
Bipolar cut, max. 100 W, maximum mean effect size
Bipolar coagulation, max. 100 W, maximum mean effect size
When using other generators, avoid spark formation in the area of the jaw tips!
a Regularly wipe blood and tissue residue from the jaw tips.
a Jaw tips may cause injuries!
a After application, the jaw tips may be so hot they cause burns!
a Never lay down instruments on or in the immediate vicinity of the patient! Lay cables and
store unused instruments so they are isolated from the patient.
a Not for use in the presence of combustible or explosive substances!
a The uninsulated parts of the working end are live and may cause injuries!
Clean the jaw tips with sterile fluid (distilled water) as needed during use and then dry them.
Do not use saline solution! Use electrolyte-free flushing fluid when flushing instruments are
used simultaneously.
a Unintentional activation or movement of laparoscopy electrodes outside the field of
vision can lead to unwanted tissue damage.
Avoid unintentional tissue contact with live metal components of the jaw tips during acti-
vation (FIG D)
a Gas embolism may occur during laparoscopy applications.
