Fire/Burn Warnings
1. Do not use this device in the presence of ammable anaesthetics, gases, or uids, such as
skin prepping agents and tinctures. Observe appropriate re precautions at all times.
2. To prevent the risk of explosion, do not use this device in oxygen-enriched atmospheres,
nitrous oxide (NO) atmospheres, or in the presence of other oxidizing agents. Ensure that
oxygen connections in the surgical environment are not leaking.
3. Electrosurgical components, such as the RF probe, may remain hot after activation. To avoid
combustion, keep all electrosurgical equipment away from ammable materials.
4. Do not use ammable agents for cleaning and disinfection of the Crossre2 console,
handpiece, or footswitch.
5. To prevent the risk of re, do not replace console fuses. If it is suspected that fuses are
damaged, return the console to Stryker for repair.
Electrical Safety Warnings
1. Install this device in an operating room that complies with all applicable IEC, CEC, and NEC
requirements for safety of electrical devices.
2. Crossre2 system components are designed to be used together as a system. Use only the
appropriate footswitch, handpiece, and disposable attachments described in this manual.
3. When the Crossre2 system is activated, the conducted and radiated electrical elds may
interfere with other electrical medical equipment. Provide as much possible distance
between the console and other electronic medical equipment.
4. Connect the power cord to a grounded receptacle. To prevent risk of electric shock, do not
use extension cords or adapter plugs.
5. Do not wrap the handpiece cable around metal objects, or the induction of hazardous
currents may result.
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.
