General Warnings and Cautions-Monopolar Instruments
WARNING: Do not use monopolar instruments with a bipolar source output as this
may cause damage to the instrument and harm to the patient or medical personnel.
WARNING: Do not use one instrument to energize the tips of another instrument
(robotic or manual
laparoscopic). This may cause patient injury and damage to the
instrument. Energy may flow to the patient from places other than the tip, inside or
outside the field of view. Avoid close proximity to other instrument tips when
energizing monopolar instruments.

Instrument Type
ERBE VIO dV 2.0 Fault Condition
System Message Description
Icon
Bipolar
C-84: Energy activation has been interrupted due
to detection of a short circuit condition between
active and neutral electrodes on bipolar
instruments. This can occur when there is not
enough tissue between the jaws of the instrument
and the AutoStop feature is turned ON.
Regrasp tissue or ensure jaw
separation. Short detected.
Monopolar
M-0B: Energy is being activated while the patient
neutral pad is not connected to the EnergyShield
Monitor, is defective, has poor contact with the
patient, or when the neutral adapter is not
connected to the VIO dV.
Check one or more of the
following:
• Dual neutral pad and
connection
• Contact with patient
• Neutral adapter connection
M-1F: Energy is being activated while the patient
neutral pad is not oriented in the proper direction
(the long edge is not pointing toward the
operating field).
Check dual neutral pad
orientation and contact with
patient.
Bipolar or
Monopolar
M-1C: Energy activation is halted when energy
activation time has been exceeded.
Timeout reached.
