Warning: Always wear disposable protective gloves while working with blood
and blood products. See Chapter 6.
Note: Units returned to Vante for repair are subject to biohazard charges if any
Sealing Head component is contaminated with blood or blood products. See
below for the recommended cleaning.
Warning: Topical cleaning of the Sealing Head is performed in this section using
denatured or isopropyl alcohol. The user should follow the alcohol manufac-
turer's recommendations for usage and be sure that the product material safety
data sheet is carefully understood and observed.
Note: The illustrations in this section show the splash guard removed for clarity.
However, to perform a topical cleaning, it is not necessary to remove the splash
guard.
1. Disconnect the Sealing Head from the power source by removing the RF
power cable and five-pin connector from the power source.
Warning: Failure to separate the Sealing Head from the Power Source prior to
cleaning may result in an RF burn to the operator during the cleaning process.
2. Clean the open sealing region, including the RF jaw, with alcohol (dena-
tured or isopropyl) applied to one end of a cotton swab, as shown in Fig-
ure 4-2, Cleaning the Sealing Region.
Be sure the RF power cable is
disconnected from the RF power source!
