SAFETY The safe and effective use of electrosurgery depends to a large degree on factors solely under the control of the operator. There is no substitute for a properly trained and vigilant medical staff. It is important that they read, understand, and follow the operating instructions supplied with this electrosurgical equipment. Physicians have used electrosurgical equipment safely in numerous procedures. Before starting any surgical procedure, the surgeon should be familiar with the medical literature, complications, and hazards of using electrosurgery in that procedure. To promote the safe use of the Specialist | PRO Electrosurgical Generator, this section presents the warnings and cautions that appear throughout this user’s guide. So that you can operate this equipment with maximum safety, it is important that you read, understand, and follow the instructions in these warnings and cautions. It is also important that you read, understand, and follow the instructions for use in this user’s guide. WARNINGS Hazardous Electrical Output - This equipment is for use only by trained, licensed physicians. Danger: Fire / Explosion Hazard - Do not use the Specialist | PRO electrosurgical generator in the presence of flammable anesthetics. Fire / Explosion Hazard - The following substances will contribute to increased fire and explosion hazards in the operating room: • Flammable substances (such as alcohol based skin prepping agents and tinctures) • Naturally occurring flammable gases which may accumulate in body cavities such as the bowel • Oxygen enriched atmospheres • Oxidizing agents (such as nitrous oxide [N20] 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. Connect the power cord to a properly polarized and grounded power source with the frequency and voltage characteristics that match those listed on the back of the unit. No modification of this equipment is allowed.
Electric Shock Hazard - Connect the generator power cord to a properly grounded receptacle. Do not use power plug adapters. Electric Shock Hazard - Always turn off and unplug the generator before cleaning. Fire Hazard - Do not use extension cords. Patient Safety - Use the generator only if the self-test has been completed as described.

Otherwise, inaccurate power outputs may result. Failure of the high frequency electrosurgical equipment could result in an unintended increase of output power. The instrument receptacles on this generator are designed to accept only one instrument at a time. Do not attempt to connect more than one instrument at a time into a given receptacle. Doing so will cause simultaneous activation of the instruments. Use the lowest output setting necessary to achieve the desired surgical effect. Use the active electrode only for the minimum time necessary in order to lessen the possibility of unintended burn injury. Pediatric applications and/or procedures performed on small anatomic structures may require reduced power settings. The higher the current flow, and the longer the current is applied, the greater the possibility of unintended thermal damage to tissue, especially during use on small structures. For all monopolar modes, if the Generator is activated with the rated duty cycle of 10 seconds on / 30 seconds off, the surface skin temperature under the Bovie® patient return pads will not rise by more than 6°C if the skin and pad are prepared properly. However, be aware that activation times longer than the rated duty cycle of 10 seconds on / 30 seconds off, particularly at high power settings, the surface skin that is under the Bovie patient return pads may continue increasing in temperature by more than 6°C. Avoid using power settings that would exceed the highest maximum voltage that is acceptable for each accessory. Choose only accessories that will withstand each mode and power setting. To avoid incompatibility and unsafe operation, use suitable cables, accessories, active and neutral electrodes, including values for the highest allowed H.F. peak voltage. Some accessories have multiple buttons that can deliver different surgical effects. Verify accessory features and proper mode settings prior to activation. Connected accessories need be rated for at least the maximum peak output voltage of the H.F. generator set at the intended output control setting in the intended operating mode. Associated equipment and accessories used must be rated to withstand the combination of the Vpeak rating and Crest Factor for the following RF modes, Blend, Pinpoint and Spray. The output power selected should be as low as possible for the intended purpose. Certain devices or accessories may present a safety hazard at low power settings. Apparent low output or failure of the Specialist | PRO to function correctly at the normal operating settings may indicate faulty application of the neutral electrode or poor contact in its connections. In this case, the application of the neutral electrode and its connections should be checked before selecting a higher output power. When using Cut mode, associated equipment and active accessories should be selected that have a rated accessory voltage equal to or greater than 1250 Vpeak max. When using Blend mode, associated equipment and active accessories should be selected that have a rated accessory voltage equal to or greater than 1850 Vpeak max. When using Coagulation mode, associated equipment and active accessories should be selected that have a rated accessory voltage equal to or greater than 3300 Vpeak max. When using Fulguration mode, associated equipment and active accessories should be selected that have a rated accessory voltage equal to or greater than 3900 Vpeak max. When using Bipolar mode, associated equipment and active accessories should be selected that have a rated accessory voltage equal to or greater than 1200 Vpeak max. Use electrosurgery with caution in the presence of internal or external devices such as pacemakers or pulse generators. Interference produced by the use of electrosurgical devices can cause devices such as pacemakers to enter an asynchronous mode or can block the pacemaker effect entirely. Consult the device manufacturer or hospital Cardiology Department for further information when use of electrosurgical appliances is planned for patients with cardiac pacemakers or other implantable devices. If the patient has an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD), contact the ICD manufacturer for instructions before performing an electrosurgical procedure. Electrosurgery may cause multiple activation of ICDs. Do not use electrosurgical equipment unless properly trained to use it in the specific procedure

being undertaken. Use by physicians without such training has resulted in serious, unintended patient injury, including bowel perforation and unintended, irreversible tissue necrosis. For surgical procedures where the high frequency current could flow through parts of the body having a relatively small cross-sectional area, the use of bipolar techniques may be desirable to avoid unwanted coagulation. In some circumstances, potential exists for alternate site burns at points of skin contact (e.g., between the arm and the side of the body). This occurs when electrosurgical current seeks a path to the patient return electrode that includes the skin-to-skin contact point. Current passing through small skin-to-skin contact points is concentrated and may cause a burn. This is true for grounded, ground referenced, and isolated output generators. To reduce the potential for alternate site burns, do one or more of the following: • Avoid skin-to-skin contact points, such as fingers touching leg, when positioning the patient. • Place 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3 in.) of dry gauze between contact points to ensure that contact does not occur. • Position the patient return electrode to provide a direct current route between the surgical site and the return electrode which avoids skin-to-skin contact areas. • In addition, place patient return electrodes according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Potential for alternate site burns increases if the return electrode is compromised. Do not wrap the accessory cords or patient return electrode cords around metal objects. This may induce currents that could lead to shocks, fires, or injury to the patient or surgical team.
Minor neuromuscular stimulation is possible when arcs between the ACTIVE ELECTRODE and tissue occur. The generator has been designed to minimize the possibility of neuromuscular stimulation.
Accessories must be connected to the proper receptacle type. In particular, bipolar accessories must be connected to the Bipolar Instrument output jack only. Improper connection may result in inadvertent generator activation. The use of flammable anesthetics or oxidizing gases such as nitrous oxide (N20) and oxygen should be avoided if a surgical procedure is carried out in the region of the thorax or the head, unless these agents are sucked away. Non-flammable agents should be used for cleaning and disinfection wherever possible. Flammable agents used for cleaning or disinfecting, or as solvents of adhesives, should be allowed to evaporate before the application if HF surgery. There is a risk of pooling flammable solutions under the patient or in body depressions such as the umbilicus, and in body cavities such as the vagina. Any fluids pooled in these areas should be mopped up before HF surgical equipment is used. Attention should be called to the danger of ignition of endogenous gases. Some materials, for example cotton, wool and gauze, when saturated with oxygen may be ignited by sparks produced in Normal Use of the HF surgical equipment. The generator is equipped with a return electrode sensing and contact quality monitoring system (NEM), which monitors the quality of the patient return electrode connection. When a correctly functioning single plate return electrode is connected to the generator, the NEM (contact quality monitor) verifies the connections between the generator and the single return electrode. It DOES NOT verify that a single return electrode is in contact with the patient. When using a split return electrode, the NEM (contact quality monitor) confirms the total resistance is within the preset safety range. Proper application (such as hydrating the patient’s skin) and visual inspection of the patient return electrode is required for safe operation.
CAUTIONS At no time should you touch the active electrode or bipolar forceps. A burn could result. Do not stack equipment on top of the generator or place the generator on top of electrical equipment. These configurations are unstable and/or do not allow adequate cooling. Provide as much distance as possible between the electrosurgical generator and other electronic equipment (such as monitors). An activated electrosurgical generator may cause interference with them. Nonfunction of the generator may cause interruption of surgery. A backup generator should be

available for use. Do not turn the activation tone down to an inaudible level. The activation tone alerts the surgical team when an accessory is active. When using a smoke evacuator in conjunction with the electrosurgical generator, place the smoke evacuator a distance from the generator and set the generator volume control at a level that ensures that the activation tones can be heard. The use of high frequency current can interfere with the function of other electromagnetic equipment. When high frequency surgical equipment and physiological monitoring equipment are used simultaneously on the same patient, place any monitoring electrodes as far as possible from the surgical electrodes. Do not use needles as monitoring electrodes during electrosurgical procedures. Inadvertent electrosurgical burns may result.
To avoid the possibility of an electrosurgical burn to either the patient or the physicians, do not allow the patient to come in contact with a grounded metal object during activation. When activating the unit, do not allow direct skin contact between the patient and the physician.
To avoid the possibility of a burn to the patient, when using a split pad do not activate the unit if the solid pad indicator is illuminated green or the red alarm indicator remains illuminated red. This could indicate improper pad placement or a faulty NEM (contact quality monitor) circuit. Remove any loose fitting jewelry from the patient before activation. Examine all accessories and connections to the electrosurgical generator before use. Ensure that the accessories function as intended. Improper connection may result in arcs, sparks, accessory malfunction, or unintended surgical effects. Accessories must be connected to the proper receptacle type. In particular, bipolar accessories must be connected to the Bipolar Instrument output jack only. Improper connection may result in inadvertent generator activation. When not using active accessories, place them 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. Studies have shown that smoke generated during electrosurgical procedures can be potentially harmful to patients and the surgical team. These studies recommend adequately ventilating the smoke by using a surgical smoke evacuator or other means.1 1. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
