6.1 Introduction
The EndoWrist SP Monopolar Cautery Instrument (PN 430007) is a multi-use, endoscopic
instrument that is used with single-use, electrocautery tip accessories:
• Cautery Hook Tip, 5 mm (PN 400156)
• Cautery Spatula Tip, 5 mm (PN 400160)
General Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: Do not re-use or re-sterilize the hook tip or spatula tip.
WARNING: If damage or other flaws are observed on the instrument, do not use the
instrument. Contact Intuitive Surgical Customer Service. In the U.S., call
+1.800.876.1310. Examples of damage include:
• Cracks, deformations, or burn marks on the tip connector
• Bends or scratches of the instrument shaft
• Broken or frayed cables
• Broken cautery cord interface
WARNING: Connect instrument tips and cautery cords (monopolar and bipolar) only
when the energy is off. Failure to do so may result in an injury or electrical shock to
the patient or operating room personnel.
WARNING: As with any cautery device, it is possible for energy to discharge in an
area other than the instrument tip. It is important to exercise caution when using an
energized Monopolar Cautery Instrument to help avoid unintended contact with
tissue adjacent to the area to be cauterized.
