Description/Intended Use
These cables are reusable and are supplied non-sterile. Process through cleaning and sterilization prior
to initial use. These cables are designed to connect bipolar forceps/accessories at one end and electrosurgical generator with which they are known to be compatible at the other end. Their use enables the
operator to remotely conduct an electrosurgical current from the output connector of an electrosurgical
unit to the bipolar forceps to the operative site for the desired surgical effect.
Reuse
We guarantee our products to withstand a minimum of 20 sterilization cycles when sterilized in accordance with the validated instructions contained herein. Care in use and handling can extend useful life.
Contraindications
These cables should never be used when:
• There is visible evidence of damage to the exterior of the device such as cracked plastic or connector
damage.
• These cables fail the inspection described herein.
• In the presence of ammable gases, liquids, and/or oxygen enriched environments.
Safety Tips
• Use lowest possible power setting on electrosurgical unit capable of achieving desired surgical effect.
• Never allow the cables connected to these devices to be in contact with skin of the patient or operator during electrosurgical activations.
• Do not permit the cables and in close proximity to the leads of other electrical devices.
• Always place unused electrosurgical accessories in a safe insulated location such as a holster when
not in use.
• Inspect and test each cable before each use.
• Discard cables that have reached their life expectancy.
• Activation of an electrosurgical device when not in contact with target tissue or in position to deliver
energy to target tissue (fulguration) may cause capacitive coupling.
Inspection
These devices should be inspected before and after each use. Visually examine the devices for obvious
physical damage including:
• Cracked, broken or otherwise distorted plastic parts.
• Broken or signicantly bent connector contacts.
• Damage including cuts, punctures, nicks, abrasion, unusual lumps, signicant discoloration.
• Tips for damage, corrosion or misalignment condition.
Cleaning
Remove any obvious debris accumulated during use from the cable with a soft, non-metallic instrument
cleaning brush plus mild detergent and sterile puried water solution. Rinse thoroughly with sterile,
puried water until free of detergent residual and debris, then thoroughly dry using a sterile wipe. (Do
not fully immerse in uids).
Precautions
• Do not scrape or scrub the cables with abrasives.
• Do not overlap the cables in sterilization tray.
• Do not soak the cables in CIDEX or other caustic cold sterilization solutions.
• Do not use bleach.
• Do not place the cables in ultrasonic cleaner.
ENGLISH
Sterilization
Wrap each pair of cable separately or place in a container so as to prevent them from contacting each
other or other instruments.
• Steam: Steam autoclave at 250°F (121ºC) for 30 minutes.
• Flash: Steam autoclave at 275°F (134ºC) for 10 minutes.
• Gas (ETO): Follow manufacturer’s guide for the unit which you are using.
• Pre-Vac: Steam autoclave at 270°-273°F (132°-135°C), Exposure Time (4 minutes), Dry Time (20
minutes).
Do not handle the cables until they are thoroughly cooled after sterilization. For maximum life of the
product ETO sterilization is recommended.
Storage & Handling
Bipolar cables must be stored in a clean, cool and dry area. Protect from mechanical damage & direct
sun light. Handle with extreme care.
