1.4. Function
Principle: The electrical resistance of tissue through which current is passing leads to heat generation. Through heat, tissue can be cut and bleeding staunched.
What you should know when connecting the bipolar instrument, page 7 HF current In monopolar electrosurgery, the tissue
coagulation occurs by applying a high frequency alternating current, which generates heat. The HF current flows from the acicular or planiform “active” electrode (A) to the larger-area “return plate” (P). At the surface of the active electrode, high current density occurs, producing so much heat that tissue coagulates or is cut.
Jaws/ shaft tube (active electrodes) Active electrodes are monopolar forceps,
scissors and shaft tubes. Current flow in the body
What you should know when connecting the bipolar instrument, page 7
Jaw In its home position the jaw A1 is opened. On operating the handle C, the jaw is closed. To lock A1, operate the notch arm C2.
Handle The shaft tube C can be rotated and can be
locked at 8 x 45° positions.

Preparation, page 15
Application 3.What you should know when connecting the bipolar instrument
3.1. Preparation
Applying the return plate
Attach return plate close to operation area, if possible on upper arm or thigh.
Render the skin at this location as far as possible free from hair and fats.
Ensure contact over the entire area.
8 MN030-616-S1 EN
Current flow in the body WARNING
Risk of unintended burns.
The current paths in the body of the patient should be as short as possible and run in a diagonal direction. Never allow current paths to run right through the body and
under no circumstances via the thorax. Correctly apply return plate (black) and use permissible
application areas (grey) for the active electrodes.
Insulating the patient The operating table must be earthed.
Insulate the patient from all electrically-conductive objects. For this, place patient onto a dry, electrically-insulating underlay. Avoid skin-to-skin contact (arms, legs); insert dry mull.
Finally, connect the return plate, the foot switch and the HF cable to the electrosurgical generator.
HF cable
Avoid monitor display interference: • Do not run HF cable directly parallel to camera cables. • Do not lay HF cable in loops. • Never place HF cable onto the skin of the patient. Connect instrument for coagulation and switch on
electrosurgical generator. Grasp HF cable only by the connector when plugging in and
unplugging.
MN030-616-S1 EN 9
Active electrodes WARNING Risk of unintended burns. Never use worn out or faulty active
electrodes. Dispose of worn out or faulty active
electrodes - never repair!
HF unit Pay attention to the electrosurgical generator instruction manual and to general information on electrosurgical procedures.
Technical data, page 6
WARNING Improper use of HF current can cause endogenous and exogenous burns as well as explosions.
Carry out electrosurgical procedures only with
insufflation of incombustible gases (CO2).
Endogenous burns Endogenous burns are burns caused by high local
current density in the tissue of the patient. Causes can include: • With direct skin contact by HF cables, capacitive
effects can lead to burns. Exogenous burns Exogenous burns are burns caused by the heat of
ignited liquids or gases. Even explosions are possible, through detonation. Causes can include: • Ignition of skin cleaning solution and disinfectant. • Ignition of anaesthetic gases. • Ignition of insufflated gases.
Only insufflate incombustible gases! • Ignition of endogenous gases (e.g. in the intestine).
10 MN030-616-S1 EN
Interactions Cardiac pacemakers Cardiac pacemakers can be damaged or destroyed by
HF current. A cardiologist should be consulted before the
procedure. Never carry out out-patient procedures using HF
current on patients with cardiac pacemakers.
Adjusting the output power of the electrosurgical generator
WARNING Risk of unwanted burns.
Before the procedure, try out suitable approximate
values extracorporally. Set the output power of the electrosurgical
generator only to the value absolutely required for the procedure.
Technical data, page 6 Before increasing the output power due to
insufficient coagulation, without fail check: • Perfect contact of all HF cables and connectors. • Foot switch function. • Insulation of the HF cable, active electrodes, trocar
sleeve or shaft, • Cleanliness and wear of the distal end of the active
electrodes.
3.2. Before use
WARNING Risk of injury to patients. Select the HF cable and the electrosurgical generator in
accordance with the bipolar operating mode.
Survey of references, page 18
Safety measures Only switch on HF current when the active electrode is in contact with the tissue to be coagulated. The distance to other endoscopic instruments within the patient must be at least 10 mm. Tissue sections grasped by the active electrode may not contact other tissue sections over a small area.
Coagulate cordlike tissue sections at the thinnest location. Otherwise, unwanted coagulation can be caused.
Active HF instruments must not be placed upon the patient: this may lead to burns.
Using plastic trocars increases the electrical safety.

Selection of recommended electrosurgical generators, page 17 Use only suitable products and accessories.
Survey of references, page 18 Use only sterilised products in perfect condition. Before using each time, carry out a thorough visual inspection and
functional check.
Inspecting products, page 12
Attach HF cable. Introduce the jaw in closed condition
into the trocar sleeve. Introduce monopolar instrument into
the body under visual control.
3.3. During use
WARNING Risk of injury to patients. Improper use of an instrument and limited view can lead to injuries to patients. Use only a suitable instrument. Operate only with adequate view.
12 MN030-616-S1 EN
Procedure Position the jaw at the operating field. Close jaw. Activate HF current for coagulation. Open jaw. Remove jaw from the coagulated tissue (The tips may still be so hot just after
activation that it can cause burns). Extraction Close jaw. Remove monopolar instrument from the trocar sleeve.
WARNING It cannot be excluded that a movable part of the jaw will be damaged through excessive force and where possible even broken off. After every procedure, inspect the jaw. All parts must be present.
Inspecting products, page 12
3.4. After use
Decontaminate.
Preparation, page 7
3.5. Inspecting products
WARNING During use as intended, these products are subject to lighter or heavier wear depending on intensity of use. This wear has technical causes and is unavoidable.

3.6. Repair
Do not repair or service defective devices. Discard or replace defective devices.
Preparation 4.Ensure that insulated parts do not come in contact with hard, pointed or heavy objects during preparation, as such objects may damage the insulation and render the product unsuitable. Preparations cycles: Handle, Shaft tube: 200 cycles Jaw: 75 cycles
1. Soaking Soak the instrument immediately after use, or no later than 2 hours after use. Use only aldehyde-free disinfectants (recommended: Gigasept Instru AF) designed for the disinfection of instruments (e.g. DGHM or FDA approval, or CE mark). Place the instrument in an ultrasonic bath for at least 5 minutes. Use a cleaning solution to soften coagulation residues (encrustations) at the jaws and remove them with a soft cleaning cloth. A synthetic feece or plastic cleaning brush can be used if necessary for the preliminary removal of residues. Do not pre-clean HF cables and handles in the ultrasonic bath.

3. Cleaning / Disinfection Recommendation: Machine cleaning in a cleaning/disinfection machine and
thermal disinfection. Parameters: At least 5 minutes at 90 °C or A0 value > 3,000. BOWA recommends the use of neutral to slightly alkaline cleaning agents or
cleaning and disinfection agents which are suitable for medical devices made of plastic and metal.
Alcoholic and/or aldehydic ingredients may be permissible, depending on the concentration.
If necessary, blow off with filtered compressed air. Only dry the products with compressed air at pressures below 3 bar, to avoid possible damage.
The manual method is not suitable for the designated products. Effective cleaning proven by BOWA: Machine cleaning (90 °C, 5 minutes) using
an alkaline cleaning agent with surfactant additive (Neodisher MediClean forte) The manufacturer accepts no responsibility if other types of cleaning and
disinfection agents are used. Follow the recommendations of the cleaning agent manufacturer.
