Indications for Use
The EndoShield 2 is an accessory for use with electrosurgical generators and AEM
instruments that is designed to safely deliver electrosurgical energy and to prevent
injury caused by insulation failure and capacitive coupling.
Active electrode monitoring is intended to control stray monopolar energy caused by
insulation failure and capacitive coupling in surgical instruments on the shaft of the
instrument.
Contraindications
There are no known contraindications for the use of the EndoShield 2.
