Surgical Use
Before Surgery
For setup and system checks of the AEM Monitoring System, see Section 3
System Setup
.
WARNING
Fire Hazard. Do not use extension cords.
Electric Shock Hazard. Connect the power cord to a properly grounded receptacle. Do not use power
plug adapters.
Electric Shock Hazard. Do not attempt to connect or disconnect any cable during power activation.
Electric Shock Hazard. Do not connect wet accessories to the generator. Ensure that accessories and
adapters are correctly connected and that no metal is exposed.
Do not use the AEM Monitor unless the system properly completes the automatic self-check. Otherwise,
AEM functions may not be operative.
Good operating room practice suggests that connections of accessories to electrosurgical generators be
made only while the generator is off or in standby mode
.
Confirm proper power settings before proceeding with surgery. Use the lowest power setting possible for
the minimum time necessary to achieve the desired surgical effect.
CAUTION
Connect the power cord to a wall outlet having the correct voltage. Otherwise product damage may result.
NOTICE
If you are familiar with the EM3 AEM Monitoring System, refer to the

Monopolar Surgery
Active electrode monitoring is intended to control stray monopolar energy caused by insulation
failure and capacitive coupling on the shaft of the AEM instrument.
WARNING
Only an AEM instrument provides active electrode monitoring. Other conductive objects at or near the
surgical site are not protected. Do not touch those objects with the active instrument.
CAUTION
The AEM system technology is designed to safely deliver electrosurgical energy and to prevent injury
caused by insulation failure and capacitive coupling. The AEM Monitor is not intended to test for insulation
damage on laparoscopic instruments. Do not attempt to use this system as an instrument inspection tool.
AEM Monitoring will not function without the use of a dual foil return electrode and an electrosurgical
generator equipped with contact quality monitoring patient safety technology.
Read and review all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the dual foil return electrode you will be
using.
Read and review all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the AEM accessories you will be using.
