Instructions for Use
Bipolar Sealing System marSeal 5 with sterile blade holder
WARNING
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 maxium
•
the sealing process!
Safe 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 be caught in the electrodes, the blade guideway and the joints. Such
incrustations can impair the instrument's proper functioning (due to electric shunts
or blade holder jamming). Use the supplied cleaning tool, a brush or swab and sterile
water to clean the instrument.
WARNING
Risk of burns due to 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!
