Handswitching

Indications for Use

Electrosurgical accessory. Handswitching,
disposable pencil intended to remove tissue
and control bleeding by use of high-frequency
electrical current.
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.
Electrosurgical accessories that are activated
or hot from use can cause a fire. Use a holster
to hold electrosurgical pencils and similar
accessories safely away from patients,
personnel, and surgical drapes.
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.

Warning
Confirm proper electrosurgical generator
settings before proceeding with surgery.
Power-setting guidelines may vary due to
differences in surgical techniques, patients,
electrodes, and surgical setup. Use the
lowest possible power settings that achieves
the desired surgical effect. (This is important
due to the potential of inadvertent burning
at high voltages.)
Activate the electrode only when ready to
deliver electrosurgical current and the active
tip is in view (especially if looking through an
endoscope). A complete understanding of
the principles of monopolar electrosurgical
procedures is necessary to avoid shocks and
burns to the patient.
Fire/Explosion Hazard The following
substances will contribute to increased fire
and explosion hazards in the operating
room:
• Flammable anesthetics
• 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
• Oxygen-enriched atmospheres
• Oxidizing agents, such as nitrous oxide
(N O) 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
endotracheal tubes are leak free, and that
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.
