The pens are intended for connecting and control RF-electrodes. A RF cable connects the
pen with the RF generator. Activation occurs with switches on RF handpiece.
New pens must be cleaned and sterilised according to a validated procedure (DIN EN 554)
using saturated steam for at least 10 minutes before use. Alkaline cleansers and solutions
(ph>7) can damage the pens. Check the insulation for absence of pressure marks or damages
prior to each use. Never use damaged pens. Do not operate in the presence of flammable
substances. The respective label indicates the maximum output voltage.
Disassembly is not required.
otherwise particles or dried secretions can stick to them, making later cleaning and sterilisation
difficult or even impossible. Make sure to clean and flush hidden areas several times.

The product's service life depends on the degree of wear and damage. Frequent reconditioning
has only little effect on the service life.
Check the insulation for absence of pressure marks or damages prior to each use. Do not use
damaged pens or pens with pressure marks.
Store pens in a clean, dry environment. You should store them separately in a protective
container with separate compartments or sealed in foil. Always transport, clean, maintain,
sterilise and store pens with utmost care. This applies in particular to fine tips or other delicate
areas. The operator must ensure the sterile state is maintained after sterilisation.
