KLS Martin Minicutter - Connection of Handles

Instructions for Use
Electrosurgical Unit Minicutter
14 Revision 08
If the neutral electrode is not connected, or in case of insufficient contact to the skin, the status
indicator (12) for the neutral electrode flashes green. If you attempt to activate the device in this state
using the finger or foot switch, an additional warning signal is sounded. The HF current cannot be activated.
Risk of burns from improper handling of the
neutral electrode!
The risk of burns under the neutral electrode is particularly high when monopolar cutting or contact
coagulation currents with particularly high power and longer duration are being used
Safe contact of the neutral electrode must be ensu
red for the total duration of the high frequency
application. The neutral electrode must butt against the patient's body as close to the operation field as
possible, reliably, and with its whole surface.
A one
-part neutral electrode cannot be monitored. In case of insufficient contact, there will be no warning
signal!
When using neutral electrodes that are designed for monitoring but not compatible, monitoring is not
possible.
4.6.2 Connection of Handles
For monopolar cutting or coagulation, a handle with finger switch or a handle without finger switch in
combination with a foot switch can be connected. Handles are connected to the connection port (13).
The foot switch is connected to the connection socket (15).
Insert the desired active electrode into the hexagonal guide of the surgical handle until the hexagon of the
electrode snaps into place. This prevents rotation of the electrode during the application.

Risk of electric shock through contact with live components!
If the high
-frequency current is activated when the electrode is in use or being replaced, high voltage is
produced upon contact of the patient or user with the electrode, and there is a risk of electric shock.
Never activate the high-frequency current while inserting or replacing an electrode.
