Rotation Assembly  Inspection/Maintenance Instructions for all Inserts AND all Handle Assemblies: Proper care and handling is essential for satisfactory performance of any surgical device. The steps in these Instructions for Use should be taken to ensure long and trouble-free service from all your surgical devices. Inspect devices before each use for end of life indicators. Specifically, instruments used for electrosurgery must be checked for nicks, cracks, gaps, or damage to shaft insulation. Careful inspection upon receipt and frequent inspection during use for end of life indicators and functional integrity is recommended as a safeguard against possible injury to patient or operator. If any conditions appear which would indicate that the device is not safe for use, do not use the device and return the device to Endoplus for investigation.  Scissors Insert Component Key: 1.

Manufactured By: Endoplus 750 Tower Road, Suite A Mundelein, IL 60060 www.endoplususa.com  4  Intended Use: Hand held Laparoscopic instruments are intended for grasping, cutting, dissecting, retracting, clamping, biopsy, and/or cauterization of tissue. The devices are used in conjunction with a laparoscope during laparoscopic procedures. Instruments should be used only by personnel completely familiar with their operation. Using an instrument improperly for a task which it was not intended may result in a damaged or broken instrument. Contraindications:  Do not activate the electrodes during use if laparoscopic electrosurgical techniques are contraindicated.  DO NOT USE if use if laparoscopic methods have been contraindicated. Supplied Contents: Handle Assemblies and Scissor Inserts are sold separately. Safety Information: Warning: Risk of Injury and Damage to Products:  Failure to read and follow this IFU (Instructions for Use) and the IFU of products used in combination can result in injury or death to patients, users, and third parties as well as damage to the product. Warning: Risk of Injury:  Do not use instruments with damaged or missing insulation. Inspect instruments and cables for damage prior to each use. Insulation failures may result in burns or other injuries to the patient or operator.  There is a risk of injury if active electrodes come into contact with other conductive devices and accessories.  Keep electrical connections dry while in use to prevent unintended conduction of HF current.  Do not activate instrument when not in contact with target tissue, as this may cause injuries due to capacitive coupling.  The surface of the active electrode may remain hot enough to cause burns after the RF current has been deactivated.  Activating the electrosurgical unit simultaneously with suction/irrigation may alter the path of energy. Aspirate fluid from the area before activating the instrument. Conductive fluids (e.g., blood or saline) in direct contact with or in close proximity to an active electrode may alter electrical current which may cause unintended burns to the patient.  Incorrectly assembled and damaged devices can lead to injuries to the patient or operator. Devices and all accessories used in combination must be checked immediately before and after use. Check for missing parts, damaged insulation, loose parts, cracks, broken parts, or bent parts. Verify that devices are fully functional.  The use of excessive force may result in medical devices which malfunction. Regardless of age, any Endoplus devices requiring service should be returned to Endoplus.  If application parts are used outside of the field of vision there is a risk that tissue and accessories could be damaged unintentionally. Always hold the application parts of the active electrode and other instruments which transmit energy in a target-oriented manner and in the field of vision during application.  When not in use, stage devices in a visible area not in contact with the patient to minimize the risk of accidental activation and inadvertent patient contact.  DO NOT USE with hybrid trocar systems, i.e. a combination of metal and plastic. This may result in alternate site burns due to capacitive coupling. Use only all-metal or all plastic trocar systems.  Connect adaptors and accessories to the electrosurgical unit only when the unit is off. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock, burn, or fire hazard.  Prior to increasing the intensity, check the adherence of the neutral electrode and its connections. Apparent low output or failure of the device to function correctly at the normal operating settings may indicate faulty application of the neutral electrode or poor contact in its connections.  1  F-7.15.3 Rev ORG
