Bipolar Sealing System marSeal5 plus/ - Maryland
Instructions for Use
• The instruments to be sterilized must be carefully subjected to steam, including on their internal
surfaces.
• The non-sterile blade holder REF 80-633-11-04 for shaft length 370 mm, REF 80-633-14-04 for shaft
length 230 mm, REF 80-633-16-04 for shaft length 450 mm) must be sterilized before application. In this
case, assembly and functional check of the mechanical components, locking function and blade feed of
the marSeal5 plus can also be carried out before sterilization. The instrument can be sterilized when
fully assembled. Sterilization in opened state: movable handle not locked, jaw part opened.
• The sterile blade holder (REF 80-633-09-04 for shaft length 370 mm, REF 80-633-10-04 for shaft length
230 mm, REF 80-633-15-04 for shaft length 450 mm) is mounted into the sterile marSeal5 plus
exclusively in the sterile operating area.
The subsequent functional check of the mechanical components, locking function and blade feed are
carried out only after the sterile blade holder has been inserted into the sterile operating area.
• Do not sterilize with hot air or with so-called flash autoclave procedures!
• Do not use plasma sterilization procedures (LTP sterilization)!
The temperature in the autoclave must not exceed 138 °C (280 °F) and a holding time of 18 min, otherwise
insulation and other plastic parts may be damaged.
