Instructions for Use
Risk of burns upon contact of the active electrode with metallic parts!
Upon contact of the active electrode with metallic parts, shunts for the HF-current or concentrated
leakage current paths can form. These can cause burns.
• The energized, blank metallic jaw part must have a safety distance of at least 1 cm from the metallic
trocar end during activation!
• Do not touch any other metallic instruments or objects during activation!
Danger of electromagnetic interference in the presence of active implants!
In patients with pacemakers or other active implants, there is danger of interference with or damage to
the active implant.
• Before performing the surgery, consult a cardiologist and the manufacturer of the pacemaker or active
implant!
Danger of injury from hot surfaces!
The electrodes in the jaw part and the outer surfaces of the jaw part are so hot due to the heat
conduction even after the sealing procedure that they can cause unintentional burns.
• Avoid contact with the jaw part and tissue contact immediately after sealing!
Danger of injury from unintentional contact with the patient's tissue!
Unintentional activation, e.g. via the foot switch, can lead to burns and electric shocks if the
electrosurgical device is placed on the patient and thus comes into contact with tissue!
• Do not place temporarily unused instruments on the patient in the intervals between use!
− Place instruments separately from the patient, e.g. on the instrument table!
• Seal only if the jaw part of the instrument is located within sight! Unintentional activation or
movement of the instrument may result in injury to the patient!
• Do not touch any other metallic instruments or objects during the sealing process!
• Always avoid accidental tissue contact or contact with similar low-resistance materials (e.g. liquids) of
the instruments!
