Seal Safe System: Jaw Cavity
Examine the sealer head after each procedure. If you see dirt or fluid in the jaw cavity, follow the instructions below
to remove the residue. It is important that the jaw cavity be kept clean. Residue left in the cavity can impair the
performance of the device.
1
Disconnect the sealer head from the RF cable.
2
Remove and discard the splash guard, if used.
Caution:
Use only a gauze pad, a lint-free cloth, or a wipe when cleaning or disinfecting the touch screen, the
covers on the AIM system lights in the centrifuge, and the aperture plate on the filler. Use of an abrasive brush,
scrub material, or a sharp object can damage the surface of the components.
Note:
If necessary, you can rinse the filler with water or mild detergent before disinfection to loosen any
residue left by a spill.
Warning:
Disconnect the sealer head from the RF cable before cleaning to avoid receiving a serious radio
frequency (RF) burn during the cleaning process.
