Do not place instruments near or in contact with flammable materials (such as gauze or surgical drapes).
Instruments that are activated or hot from use may cause a fire. When not using instruments, place them in a clean, dry,
highly visible area not in contact with the patient. Inadvertent contact with the patient may result in burns.
