WARNINGS:
● Do not use this device in the presence of flammable anesthetics; other flammable gases; near flammable fluids
such as skin prepping agents and tinctures; flammable objects; or with oxidizing agents. Observe appropriate fire
precautions at all times.
● Do not use this device in oxygen enriched atmospheres, nitrous oxide (N
2
O) atmospheres, or in the presence of
other oxidizing agents to prevent risk of explosion. Ensure that oxygen connections are not leaking.
● Electrosurgical components, such as the probe, may remain hot after activation. Keep all electrosurgical
equipment away from flammable materials to avoid combustion.
● Use only conductive irrigants such as, saline or Ringer’s lactate in order for system to function.
● Do not allow the patient to come into direct contact with grounded metal objects, such as a surgical table frame,
an instrument table, etc. to avoid risk of shock.
● Do not use SERFAS on patients with heart pacemakers or other electronic device implants. Doing so could lead
to electromagnetic interference and possible death.
● Do not activate SERFAS for prolonged or unnecessary lengths of time when not in contact with tissue. Doing so
may lead to unintentional damage to surrounding tissue.
● When SERFAS is activated, the conducted and radiated electrical fields may interfere with other electrical medical
equipment. Provide as much distance as possible between the RF Generator and other electronic equipment.
● Temporarily unused electrodes should be stored in an electrically insulated container. The unused active electrode
should never be placed on the patient to prevent risk of electric shock.
● The output power selected should be as low as possible for the intended purpose to prevent injury to patient.
CAUTIONS:
● Do not activate SERFAS until the probe is properly positioned in the patient.
● Do not touch probe tip at any time during application of power. After electrosurgical current is deactivated, tip
may still remain hot enough to cause burns.
● Do not obstruct the activation light. The activation tone and light are important safety features.
● SERFAS components are designed to be used together as a system. Use only the appropriate SERFAS
Footswitch, Probe and Handpiece Cable with the RF Generator.
● The main power cord of SERFAS must be connected to a properly grounded receptacle. Extension cords and/or
adapter plugs must not be used to prevent risk of electric shock.
