7.7 Accessories
Sutter Medizintechnik recommends the following tested accessories:

Bipolar cable (REF 37 01 54 L/R/G/A/S/P)

Monopolar cable with 4 mm instrument plug (REF 36 01 87)

Monopolar electrode handle with finger switch for coagulation and cutting (REF 36 07 04)

Monopolar electrode handle without finger switch (REF 36 02 14)

Silicone neutral electrode with cable (REF 36 02 26)

Cable for disposable neutral electrodes (REF 36 02 38)

Segmented premium disposable neutral electrode, self-adhesive (REF 36 02 22)

Foot switch (REF 36 01 10, see chapter 12)
The device may only be used with accessories, wear parts, and disposable products for
which safe, unproblematic use is confirmed.
Using untested accessories from other manufacturers may lead to electromagnetic
interference emissions or reduced electromagnetic interference resistance of the
device and to faulty operation.
If you use accessories from other manufacturers, it is therefore particularly important to ensure
that the accessories are in fact suitable. Indicators of legitimate manufacturers and suitable
accessories include the following points:

The manufacturer has a declaration of conformity for the accessory.

The manufacturer has proof of compatibility for the accessory, or is willing to confirm this
for you.

The accessory includes instructions for use that clearly describe the scope of functionality
in easily comprehensible terms.

The accessory has suitable plug connections that can be connected to the device without
excessive force and problems.

The manufacturer is willing to confirm testing of the accessory according to the
international IEC 60601-2-2 standard on request.

The accessory products are labeled, clearly legible, e.g. with information about the
manufacturer and their maximum dielectric strength.

The manufacturer provides you with additional technical data and specifications on
request, and is available for your inquiries during regular business hours.
Ask your specialist dealer or the manufacturer in case of doubt.
The cable length of accessories should not exceed 3 m.
Avoid settings on the device where the maximum output voltage exceeds the rated
voltage for the accessory (see the voltage diagrams in chapter 9.3.2).
7.8 Operation with bipolar cutting forms
For microsurgery applications in particular, the unintentional activation of a bipolar cutting current
(for instance by mixing up the foot switch pedals) may create a hazard for the patient. Therefore
the output setting is always set to “0” initially when a bipolar cutting operating mode is selected
manually. Even when the generator was last operated in bipolar cutting mode, the output is
automatically set to “0” again after the device is switched on. Then the desired output setting has
to be chosen with the rotary knob (17). An output setting > 0 in a bipolar cutting operating mode
cannot be stored in a program, but is automatically set to “0” in the program.
