Device Description
The AEM EndoShield Burn Protection System uses AEM® Monitoring in conjunction with
AEM instruments and an electrosurgical generator to continuously monitor and dynamically
manage stray energy (insulation failure and capacitive coupling) during monopolar
laparoscopic electrosurgery.
AEM EndoShield is for use only by qualii ed medical professionals trained in the particular
technique and surgical procedure to be performed. These instructions are intended as a
guide for the setup and operation of AEM EndoShield. They are not intended to be a general
reference about the use of electrosurgery either in general application or in laparoscopic
procedures.
WARNING:
These devices have been specii cally designed for use in electrosurgery. Do not
use for other procedures.
Caution:
AEM EndoShield is designed to safely deliver electrosurgical energy and to
prevent injury caused by insulation failure and capacitive coupling. AEM EndoShield is not
intended to test for insulation damage on laparoscopic instruments. Do not attempt to use
this system as an instrument inspection tool.
Prior to using the AEM EndoShield Burn Protection System, read and review
these instructions, the instructions for use for the electrosurgical generator,
and the instructions for use for all instruments and accessories to be used.
