After surgery, the following steps should be performed:
8A. Following Surgery
a)
Detach the instruments from the connector cable.
CAUTION
Always detach by grasping the two halves of the connector and not
the cable(s). Failure to do so may result in cable damage.
b)
Dispose of the SINGLE USE instrument(s) according to your facility’s policy on the
disposal of surgical waste.
c)
Disconnect the connector cable from the generator by grasping the plug and pulling
gently from its socket on the front of the generator.
d)
Return the generator to Standby state by pressing the Standby / On button or switch
off at the back panel if desired.
WARNING
Do not attempt to re-use Single Use Only instruments. Heat or
chemical sterilization may render the instrument mechanically or
electrically unsafe.
8B. Cleaning the Footswitch
a)
Disconnect the footswitch from the rear panel of the Generator by first unlocking the
retaining ring by rotating in a counter-clockwise direction and then withdrawing the
plug from its receptacle.
WARNING
Do not pull on the footswitch cable prior to unscrewing the connector
locking ring. Such action may cause malfunction or intermittent
activation during use.
b)
Remove all gross matter (blood, mucus, and tissue) by wiping each component with
a cloth or gauze pad and a mild cleaning solution or detergent capable of removing
organic deposits.
IMPORTANT
Do not immerse in reprocessing solutions. Do not use abrasive
cleaning agents. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners. Product damage
may otherwise result.
c)
Remove residual cleansing agents with a water dampened cloth.
WARNING
The Footswitch is not designed to be sterilized. Sterilization could
lead to product damage or malfunction during use.

Use a mild antibacterial detergent on a damp cloth to clean the generator. Do not allow
fluids to enter the generator connectors. Do not use caustic, corrosive, or abrasive cleaning
materials. The generator cannot be sterilized.
