Safety information
2 Safety information 2.1 Intended use 2.1.1 General intended use Handpiece CELON ELITE ProCut WB990278 The handpiece is intended to allow electrosurgical removal of soft tissue in ENT/Head and Neck Surgery. 2.1.2 Specific intended use Handpiece CELON ELITE ProCut WB990278 The handpiece is intended to join an electrosurgical cutting electrode and electrosurgical gripping forceps with a compatible Olympus electrosurgical generator. The tissue to be removed is grasped with a gripping forceps which simultaneously functions as the return electrode and is connected to the neutral electrode socket of the electrosurgical generator. The part with the cutting electrode is connected to the monopolar socket of the electrosurgical generator. The handpiece is intended only for the use with a compatible Olympus electrosurgical generator.
2.2 Contraindications Electrosurgical interventions are contraindicated if, in the judgment of the physician, tissue vaporization and coagulation could have a negative effect on the state of the patient. In the case of patients with a weakened immune system or a tendency to bleed (e.g. due to anti-coagulants) the electrosurgical cutting of tissue can be contraindicated.
7
Safety information The intended use and contraindications of the equipment used in combination with the handpiece CELON ELITE ProCut must be observed.

Safety information WARNING Risk of injury to the patient, the user and the medical personnel Improper and/or incomplete reprocessing can cause infection of the patient and/or medical personnel as well as damage to the product. •• Reprocess the product before first and each subsequent use. •• For reprocessing the product, observe the instructions in the chapter “Reprocessing” on page 25. •• Do not use a product that has not been reprocessed. •• Before each use, inspect the product as described in the chapter “Preparation” on page 16. •• Do not use a damaged product. WARNING Risk of injury to the patient The cutting electrode CelonProCut-Electrode Type1 (WB990177) is for single use only. The cutting electrode is delivered in a sterile condition. Reuse, cleaning, reprocessing, resterilization and improper storing conditions and handling could lead to injury of the patient and the user and malfunction of the product. •• Do not use sterile-packaged products if the packaging has been opened, if the packaging is damaged or if there are other signs of non-sterility. •• Do not use the product after its use by date. •• Open the packaging only immediately before use. •• Do not attempt to clean, reprocess or resterilize disposable products. •• Do not reuse disposable products. •• Only use a product that has been stored under the conditions mentioned on the packaging. •• Do not bend the cutting electrode. CAUTION Risk of injury to the patient If the handpiece falls down the sterility is lost and the handpiece could be damaged. Using a damaged or non-sterile product could result in injury and infection of the patient. •• Do not continue to use the product if it has fallen down. 9
Safety information •• Thoroughly inspect the product for any signs of damage. •• Do not use a damaged product. •• Reprocess the product before the next use. CAUTION Risk of injury to the patient and the user The use of a damaged product or of a product with improper functioning may cause an electric shock and thermal injury. •• Before each use, observe the instructions in the section “Preparation” on page 16”. •• Do not use a damaged product or a product with improper functioning. •• Replace a damaged product or a product with improper functioning. CAUTION Risk of injury to the patient Using the handpiece with other equipment than the compatible equipment could result in burns. •• The handpiece must only be used with the following compatible equipment: -- CelonProCut-Electrode Type1 (WB990177) -- CelonProCut-Gripping Forceps (WB990202) -- Electrosurgical generator CELON ELITE ESG‑200 CAUTION Risk of injury to the patient and the user Unintended current flow may cause injury to the patient and the user. The patient must be insulated against all electrically conductive parts. •• Ground the operating table. •• Make sure that the patient does not come in contact with metal parts, e.g. the operating table. •• Place the patient on a dry, electrically insulating surface. •• Make sure that the patient’s clothes are dry. •• Prevent any contact between different skin surfaces (arms, legs) of the patient. Place dry gauze between the body and arms and between the legs to prevent such contact. •• Prevent any skin contact between the patient and the user. 10
Safety information •• Remove any metallic items from the patient, e.g. wristwatches, jewelry. •• Route all connecting cables so that they are not in direct contact with the patient. •• Route all connecting cables so that they are not in contact with other cables. CAUTION Risk of injury to the patient When using physiological monitoring equipment, then current may flow to the monitoring electrodes and can cause thermal injury where the monitoring electrodes are attached. Especially, the use of needle electrodes can result in burns to the patient. •• Place the physiological monitoring electrodes as far away as possible from the electrodes of the HF instrument. •• Do not use needle monitoring electrodes. •• Use physiological monitoring equipment with HF current limiting measures. CAUTION Risk of injury to the patient Using HF equipment on patients with implanted electronic devices, e.g. cardiac pacemakers or cardioverter defibrillators, can cause failure of the implanted electronic device. Failure of the implanted electronic device will affect the heart and could result in cardiac arrest. •• Prior to the HF procedure, confirm its safety with a cardiologist or the manufacturer of the implanted electronic device. •• Do not apply the HF instrument in close proximity to the implanted electronic device. CAUTION Risk of injury to the patient Using too high power settings could result in burns to the patient. •• The output power level must not set higher than 50 W.
11
Safety information CAUTION Risk of injury to the patient If the product becomes brittle and defective a sparkover could cause nerve and muscle stimulation, which could result in injury to the patient. •• Before each use, thoroughly inspect the product for traces of wear. •• Do not use the product if brittle or defective insulation is observed. •• Dispose of the product 12 months after the first use the latest. CAUTION Risk of injury to the user It is safe to use the handpiece CELON ELITE ProCut and its accessories with a maximum output voltage of 700 Vpeak. Using a higher output voltage could result in burns to the user. •• Only use the monopolar cutting modes provided by the compatible electrosurgical generator. •• Do not use an output voltage of more than 700 Vpeak. CAUTION Risk of injury to the patient, the user and the medical personnel The ignition of flammable gases, especially anaesthetics, will cause serious injuries to the patient, the user and the medical personnel. •• Take precautionary measures to keep away flammable gases from the site of intervention. •• Do not use flammable anaesthetics, e.g. nitrous oxygen or oxygen.
