To avoid user injury, ensure that the test tip is clear of tissue, other instruments, or other objects before
activating the system.

Do not simultaneously touch the patient and generator.

Place the generator in the Standby mode before removing or replacing an instrument, hand switching
adaptor or hand piece or when system is not in use.

Spilling or spraying fluids on or into the generator or immersing the generator may result in damage to the
generator and risk of shock or fire hazard.

In case of system failure, ensure the availability of the appropriate backup equipment relevant to the
specific procedure.

Instrument Warnings and Precautions

Blades

All blades have an intermittent operation of 15 second on/off intervals, unless the duty cycle is explicitly
specified otherwise in the individual instrument package inserts.

Coagulating Shears

During prolonged activation in tissue, the instrument blade, clamp arm, and the distal 7 cm of the shaft
may become hot. Avoid unintended contact with tissue, drapes, surgical gowns, or other unintended sites
at all times.

Note: Refer to individual package inserts for additional warnings and precautions.
