and an interconnecting cable, such as the Codman® Electrosurgical Interconnecting Cable, where irrigation is available to the user while
performing electrosurgical procedures.

• Read entire instruction manual before aempting to operate the Generator.
• Use of monopolar operating modes should be restricted to extracranial cuing/coagulation during neurosurgical procedures (i.e.,
the opening and closing of neurosurgical cases) and to tissues contained in the extradural compartment. The monopolar operating
modes should NOT be used in the cuing/coagulation of tissues in the subdural compartment or the neural parenchyma.
• Do not remove the Generator cover. There are no user serviceable components in this system.
• Replacement fuses must meet the specifications outlined in this manual. See Technical Specifications.
• This Generator must not be modified in any way. Unauthorized modifications could cause the Generator to malfunction or fail and
will void the warranty.
• The operator of the Generator must be a healthcare professional. The operator must be experienced in the use of electrosurgical
devices and generators in surgical procedures.
• Failure of the Generator could result in unintentional increase of output power.
