Safety instructions
4.1
Sterile product for single use
Erbe recommends that the product not be processed after use.
Processing can affect the material properties and/or function of
the product such that use in accordance with the intended use is
no longer possible. Risks include:
• Components/connections that are damaged by high tem-
peratures (e.g. in the autoclave).
• Components (e.g. filter, extremely small lumen, etc.) that
may prevent internal cleaning/disinfection.
4.2
General information about protection of the user,
patient, and product
Do not use in the presence of combustible or explosive materi-
als!
In the case of a long activation time and/or activations which
follow in quick succession (with no cooling time) the distal in-
strument end can become extremely hot. This is not a material
fault, rather a consequence of heavy-duty use.
Protect this product from any form of mechanical damage! Do
not throw! Do not use force! If there is a cable, and unless stated
otherwise, do not kink it or wrap it around the accompanying
product!
The activated electrosurgical unit can impair the performance of
or damage cardiac pacemakers, internal defibrillators and other
active implants. In the case of patients wearing active implants,
consult the manufacturer of the implant or the relevant specialist
department of your hospital prior to surgery.
