After Completion Of The Application - KLS Martin group marSeal5 plus Gebrauchsanweisung

Bipolar Sealing System marSeal5 plus/ - Maryland
Instructions for Use
Danger of bleeding in case of improper application!
• Never press the blade trigger during vessel sealing. The blade must be retracted into the instrument;
otherwise it will cause a short circuit, and no sealing will occur.
• Do not cut grasped tissue with the blade before completion of the sealing process!
• Perform cut only after the electrosurgical unit maxium® has properly signaled the end of the sealing
process!
• Reliable vessel sealing is not guaranteed when the instrument's jaws are immersed into electrically
conductive liquids, due to resulting current conduction through the liquid (shunt circuit)!
• Tissue particles can get caught in the electrodes, the blade guides and the joints. Such incrustations can
impair the proper functioning of the instrument (due to electric shunts or blade holder jamming). Use
the supplied cleaning tool, a brush or swab and sterile water to clean the instrument.
Danger of injury from hot surfaces!
As a result of heat conduction, the electrodes in the jaw part and the outer surfaces of the jaw part
become very hot during the sealing process and remain so even after the sealing process has been
completed, so they can cause accidental burns.
• Avoid touching the jaw part and contact with tissue during and immediately after the sealing process!

After Completion of the Application

It is recommended to carry out disassembly immediately after the application in the operating theater.
To separate the tubular shaft from the handle, it must not be locked. The jaw part of the tubular shaft
must be open!
The use must be documented in the patient file (if a sterile blade is used) by entering the item description
as well as the REF and LOT numbers. Only this way can clear traceability be ensured.
