Indications for Use

The Valleylab Handswitching Pencil is
a handswitching electrode intended for
use in general electrosurgical procedures.
Warning
This product cannot be adequately
cleaned and/or sterilized by the user in
order to facilitate safe reuse, and is therefore
intended for single use. Attempts to clean
or sterilize these devices may result in bio-
incompatibility, infection, or product
failure risks to the patient.
Fire Hazard Do not place active accessories
near or in contact with flammable materials,
such as gauze or surgical drapes, flammable
gases, or high levels of oxygen.
Electrosurgical accessories that are activated
or hot from use can cause a fire. When not
using active accessories, place them in
a holster or in a clean dry, nonconductive,
and highly visible area that is not in contact
with the patient. Inadvertent contact with
the patient may result in burns.
Danger: Explosion Hazard Do not use
electrosurgery in the presence of flammable
anesthetics.
Fire Hazard Both oxygen (O
oxide (N O) support combustion. Avoid

Warning
Fire/Explosion Hazard The following
substances contribute to increased fire and
explosion hazards in the operating room:
• Flammable substances, such as alcohol-
based skin prepping agents and tinctures
• Naturally occurring flammable gases that
may accumulate in body cavities, such as
the bowel
• O -enriched atmospheres
2
• Oxidizing agents, such as N
atmospheres
The sparking and heating associated with
electrosurgery can provide an ignition
source. Observe fire precautions at all times.
When using electrosurgery in the same room
with any of these substances or gases,
prevent their accumulation or pooling under
surgical drapes, or within the area where
electrosurgery is performed.
Fire/Explosion Hazard Verify all oxygen
circuit connections are leak free before and
during the use of electrosurgery. Verify that
endotracheal tubes are leak free, and the cuff
is properly sealed to prevent oxygen leaks.
Enriched oxygen atmospheres may result
in fires and burns to patients or the surgical
team.
Position surgical electrode cables to avoid
contact with the patient or other leads.
When not in use, place active accessories
in a holster or in a clean, dry, nonconductive,
and highly visible area not in contact with
the patient. Inadvertent contact with the
patient may result in burns.
Before installing or removing the electrode,
ensure the handset is not connected to the
electrosurgical generator, or the generator
is off or in standby mode, if available.
Confirm proper electrosurgical generator
power settings before proceeding with
surgery. Use the lowest power settings
to achieve the desired surgical effect.
