Safety information WARNING Risk of injury to the patient There is a risk of injury to the patient due to malfunction of the equipment. • Always have spare equipment available. WARNING Risk of injury to the patient and/or the user Do not use for any other purposes than those listed in the intended use. WARNING Risk of injury to the patient There is a risk of an electric shock when using endoscopic equipment or when using endoscopic equipment in combination with energized endotherapy devices. The patient leakage currents may be additive. • Before each use, check the applied part classification of the endoscopic equipment and especially the energized endotherapy devices used during the procedure. • Only use endoscopic equipment or endoscopic equipment in combination with energized endotherapy devices that meet at least the same requirements of applied part classification. This is particularly important if a type CF applied part endoscope is used. In this case a type CF applied part energized endotherapy device should be used to minimize total leakage current. • For the applied part classification, refer to the respective instructions for use. WARNING Risk of injury to the patient and/or user Exceeding the rated accessory voltage may damage the insulation. There is a risk of thermal injury if power is applied for an excessive amount of time. • The maximum output voltage of the electrosurgical generator must not exceed the rated accessory voltage of any of the HF accessories used during the procedure. Do not apply power in excess of 300 W. 10

Safety information • Set the output power of the electrosurgical generator to the minimum level that is necessary for the procedure. NOTICE Risk of damage to the product Bending the instrument may damage the product. • Do not bend the instrument. NOTICE Risk of damage to the product

The distal end of the jaws insert is equipped with a ceramic insulation. Mechanical impacts may damage the ceramic insulation. • Always handle the hand instrument with care. • Protect the jaws insert from fall. For safety information on HF application, refer to the “System Guide Endoscopy” and the instructions for use of all other HF equipment used in combination with the hand instrument.
