Inspection Before Use
WARNING: Do not use instruments that have been reprocessed with single-use
accessories (for example, MCS Tip, monopolar cautery tip, sheath) installed.
Inadequate sterilization may occur when these single-use accessories are installed
during reprocessing.

the insulation of laparoscopic/endoscopic instruments. This may be done visually
under magnification.
Before use, all instruments should be visually inspected for damage or irregularities. Do not
use the instrument if damage or abnormalities are observed. Examples of damage include:
• Broken or frayed cables or wires
• Scratches, cracks or broken parts on the instrument shaft
• Cracks or missing pieces where the grips attach to the shaft
• Broken, bent, misaligned or gouged instrument tips
• Broken wrist or elbow joint segments
