WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
● Be sure that no liquid is present between connections to the RF Generator or Probe. Connection of wet
accessories may lead to electric shock.
● Do not wrap the SERFAS Handpiece Cable around metal objects. Wrapping cables around metal objects may
induce hazardous currents.
● Do not attempt to reuse or resterilize any product labeled “SINGLE USE” as this may lead to malfunctioning
of the equipment, injury to the patient/user, and/or cross contamination.
● Smoke generated during electrosurgical procedures may be harmful to surgical personnel. Take appropriate
precautions by wearing surgical masks or other means of protection.
● The generator should be positioned such that the fan directs the flow of air away from the patient.
