5.6 Procedure after use
WARNING
Always discard used disposable neutral electrodes
and HF instruments. Reprocessing single use
devices may lead to changes in material
characteristics such as metallic corrosion and
dulled edges, ceramic and plastic deformation or
splitting which may impact the strength of the
device and compromise device performance.
Reprocessing of single use devices can also cause
cross-contamination leading to patient infection.
These risks may potentially affect patient safety.
CAUTION
When disconnecting plugs of HF instruments or
power cords, always hold the plug. Pulling the
cable may result in damaging of the wires.
For disposal of the neutral electrode and used
HF instruments or the cleaning of reusable
accessories refer to the instruction manual of
these products.
