6. Keep the ends of the handpiece cable connectors, footswitch cable connectors, and console
receptacles away from all uids.
7. During use, the RF and shaver handpieces generate electronic noise that may interfere with
EKG readings. Before responding to any erratic EKG readings, rst power down the system to
ensure the readings are not the result of system noise.
Electrosurgery Warnings
1. Inspect electrosurgical accessories for defects prior to use. Do not use any cable or electrode
that is cut, broken, or otherwise damaged, as burns or electric shock may result.
2. Position the cables to avoid contact with the patient, electrodes, cables, and any other
electrical leads that provide paths for high frequency current.
3. To prevent the risk of shock, do not allow the patient to come into contact with grounded
metal objects or objects that have an appreciable capacitance to the earth, such as a surgical
table frame or instrument table. The use of antistatic sheeting is recommended for this
purpose.

EN-5
4. When the Crossre2 system and physiological monitoring equipment are used
simultaneously on a patient, position any monitoring electrodes as far as possible from the
surgical electrodes. Monitoring equipment using high frequency, current-limiting devices is
recommended. Needle monitoring electrodes are not recommended.
5. During use, operators should wear standard surgical gloves to help reduce the risk of electric
shock.
6. To prevent patient injury, select the lowest output power required for the intended purpose.
